Donald Trump’s shrill lamentations earlier this week that Fox News would dare diverge from its role as his personal mouthpiece—“Just watched @FoxNews heavily promoting the Democrats…Fox isn’t working for us anymore!” he tweeted—were met with pushback from some Fox personalities, including Brit Hume, Guy Benson, and media critic Howard Kurtz. On Thursday, Neil Cavuto, one of the network’s highest-profile opinion hosts, joined the metaphorical picket line in a clip that instantly went viral. “First of all, Mr. President, we don’t work for you. I don’t work for you,” he said. “My job is to cover you, not fawn over you or rip you, just report on you. To call balls and strikes on you. My job, Mr. President, our job here, is to keep score, not settle scores.”
