I guess there’s only just so many lies, misstatements and destortions you can take, even if you work at the Ministry of “Truth” known as Fox News.

Sometimes he appears to lie just for the practice.

Meh. Fox is, like the others, in it for the money corporate media. But, unlike the others they are more balanced in how they report, far less biased spin. Wouldn't bother me at all if all of the corporate media went down the drain.

"Mr.President, that's your stink. That's your swamp."

Funny, especially coming from Cavuto. Kudos to him for his fair-minded analysis.

It will be interesting to see how long-time Fox viewers who love Trump will react to this. Will they acknowledge the truth of Cavuto's remarks, or will they now dismiss him as they have all the other people they once admired who've dared to criticize Dear Leader?

I am amazed at the amount of times trump "evolves". I criticized bush and obama for not keeping their words and rightfully so. But trump is amazing with his inability to keep his word. We saw it when he campaigned as he constantly "evolved" and we see it now by ignoring what he campaigned on. Just like bush and obama did. But trump does it like he's on steroids.

I get he runs things like a CEO letting his "smart people" handle things but when you don't stand by your convictions or worse not seem to have any, how can people trust him? How can they re elect him? Granted bush and obama were re elected after breaking their word often but hopefully it doesn't happen with trump. I still think he is the lessor of 2 evils but that's still evil.

bush supporters didn't call out bush and obama supporters didn't call out obama so why should trump supporters? I get it. But don't be like them. Don't be like the people who you can't stand because they don't hold their own politicians accountable.

Can we elect people who at least keep their word?

At least you acknowledge the only network you can trust is FOX.

Good for Cavuto. Everyone needs to hold their own politicians accountable.

And if any Trump supporters criticize Cavuto - that is ridiculous. Cavuto was being factual in his examples. You would have loved for a Rachel Maddow to go on that long of a spiel citing as many examples of Obama's lies and BS. And she should have did it...just as Cavuto and others on the right need to make this video and more of them.

We fail as a country when we let politicians fail us, simply because they are in the "correct" party.

Caputo is a smart guy on business stuff; it is unfortunate he is stuck on Fox.

Ironically -- I think that while corporate owned media has grown, the access to all kinds of information not corporate owned has also grown. I think we have access to more information today than we did in the 50's, 60's, 70's. Back in those days local stations, newspapers had their slants and that's all YOU had. Now we have the world wide web....and for every piece of information there are a bunch of sources for it.

But the more information we have access to -- the more people cry we are being subjected to biased media....BUT BUT BUT only when the information presented goes against what we believe.

When a media outlet tells a story we like -- they are doing a great job.
When a media outlet tells a story we don't like -- fake news.

And funnily enough -- the President who claims everyone else is lying -- is tracked as being the biggest liar we have had as President.
