"Even though he’s entitled to his opinions, he’s not entitled to his own set of facts"

During a broadcast of Donald Trump's speech at a "Get Out the Vote" rally in Rock Hill, South Carolina on Friday evening, Fox News host Neil Cavuto cut into the footage to point out inaccuracies in what was being said by the former president and 2024 Republican frontrunner.

Taking issue with Trump claiming credit for the market going up while, in the same breath, blaming Biden for inflated gas prices and whatever else, Cavuto said, "We'll continue monitoring the president's remarks and I mean no offense to him or some of you who might want to continue to hear him, but I did have to say that even though the former president is entitled to his opinions, he's not entitled to his own set of facts."

WE NEEDED THIS IN 2015, It's too late now

The second best time to start is now.

Yes there isn't going to be much course correction with the crazy trump train but they absolutely can start doing it for all the nutcase politicians he paved the way for and it will maybe make a difference.

If they pick and choose which facts to fact check, then it might be worse than not doing it at all.

Don't the networks only see dollar signs?

They might be worried after having to pay out their ass for parroting Trump on election denial.

I think they're (fox) probably sending a message to him here that he better do what they want.
