Cavuto RipsTrump: News Media Is Not Your Problem — 'It's You'


Fox News host Neil Cavuto tore into President Donald Trump on Tuesday night for Trump's continued social-media outbursts that targeted the news media and members of his own administration in recent days, reports BusinessInsider.

"Mr. President, it's not the 'fake-news media' that's your problem," Cavuto said. "It's you. It's not just your tweeting — it's your scapegoating. It's your refusal to see that sometimes you're the one who's feeding your own beast — and acting beastly with your own guys."

Trump this week publicly expressed his disappointment with the Justice Department for its handling of his now-blocked "travel ban," calling the newest version of his own executive order on the matter a "watered down," "politically correct" version that was not strong enough. Trump signed both versions of the order before they each were blocked by federal appeals courts.

"The Justice Dept. should have stayed with the original Travel Ban, not the watered down, politically correct version they submitted to S.C.," Trump tweeted Monday, continuing a rant on that issue that began Saturday evening, as a deadly terrorist attack unfolded in London.

"I bet they're too afraid to tell you," Cavuto continued. "They're not perfect, but they do have your back. Do you have theirs," he asked, referring to the president's administration.



Cavuto sought to turn the spotlight back on Trump: "Mr. President, they didn't tweet disparaging comments about a London mayor in the middle of a murder spree — you did. They didn't turn on a travel ban that you signed — you did. You're right to say a lot of people are out to get you ... but ... the buck stops with you, Mr. President."
