>> I KNOW YOU WERE CRITICAL OF
FOX YESTERDAY.
FOX NEWS HEAVILY PROMOTING THE
DEMOCRATS.
YOU ARE VERY UPSET.
>> I’M NOT HAPPY WITH FOX.
>> Neil: I THINK THE PRESIDENT
MARCHES FOX.
I ALSO THINK HE’S GETTING SICK
OF FOX WHICH IS WEIRD BECAUSE I
THINK YOU GET PRETTY FAIR
COVERAGE OF FOX BUT THE
PRESIDENT MAKING CLEAR TO
FACT-CHECK HIM IS TO BE ALL BUT
DEAD TO HIM AND A LEGION OF
SUPPORTERS WHO LET ME KNOW IN NO
ABSURD TERMS AND EITHER WITH HIM SUPPORTERS WHO LET ME KNOW IN NO
TOTALLY OR HE NEVER-TRUMPER
BULLY.
NO MIDDLE GROUND.
YOU ARE ALL IN OR OUT.
LOYAL ON EVERYTHING OR NOT TO BE
TRUSTED ON ANYTHING WHICH COULD
EXPLAIN THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF
BASHING FOX NEWS YET AGAIN,
URGING HIS SUPPORTERS TO STOP
WATCHING THE CHANNEL.
"FOX ISN’T WORKING FOR US
ANYMORE."
FIRST OF ALL, MR. PRESIDENT, WE
DON’T WORK FOR YOU.
I DON’T WORK FOR YOU.
MY JOB IS TO COVER YOU, NOT FUN
OVER YOU OR RIP YOU, JUST COVER
YOU.
CALL BALLS AND STRIKES.
OUR JOB IS TO KEEP SCORE, NOT
SETTLE SCORES.
IN MY CASE, TO REPORT THE
ECONOMIC NUMBERS WITH THEIR GOOD
AND WHEN THEY’RE BAD.
BUT WHEN THE MARKETS ARE SOARING
AND WITH HER TUMBLING.
WHEN TRADE TALKS LOOKING THEY’RE
COMING TOGETHER AND WHEN THEY
ARE LOOK LIKE FALLING APART.
IT’S CALLED BEING FAIR AND
BALANCED, MR. PRESIDENT.
IT’S FAIR TO SAY YOU ARE NOT A
FAN WHEN THE BALANCE INCLUDED
STUFF YOU DON’T LIKE TO HEAR OR
FACTS YOU DON’T LIKE TO HAVE
QUESTIONED.
YOU’RE HUMAN.
I GET THAT.
WHO LIKES TO BE CORRECTED?
WE’RE THE PRESIDENT, IT COMES
WITH THE JOB.
JUST LIKE CHECKING WHAT YOU SAY
AND DO COMES WITH MY JOB.
I’M NOT THE ONE WHO SAID TARIFFS
ARE A WONDERFUL THING, YOU ARE.
I’M NOT THE ONE IS THAT MEXICO
PAY FOR THE WALL.
YOU DID.
JUST LIKE I’M NOT THE ONE WHO
CLAIMED RUSH I DIDN’T METAL ON
THE 2016 ELECTION.
YOU DID.
SORRY DON’T LIKE THE FACTS BEING
BROUGHT UP BUT THEY ARE NOT
FAKE, BECAUSE I DID.
WHAT WOULD BE FAKE AS IF I NEVER
DID.
IF I IGNORED ALL THE TIMES YOU
SAID YOU LOVED YOUR OLD
SECRETARY OF STATE REX TILLERSON
UNTIL YOU DIDN’T.
HAD NO PLANS TO DUMP YOUR
HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY
UNTIL YOU DID.
CALLED CHINESE PRESIDENT XI
JINPING AN ENEMY JUST LAST WEEK
AND A GREAT LEADER THIS WEEK.
SOMETIMES YOU DON’T EVEN WAIT
THAT LONG.
LAST WEEK YOU EXPRESSED AN
APPETITE FOR BACKGROUND CHECKS
BEFORE ARGUING JUST HOURS LATER
BACKGROUND CHECKS ARE ALREADY
STRONG.
THESE AREN’T FAKE ITEMS.
THEY ARE REAL ITEMS AND YOU
REALLY SAID THEM, JUST LIKE YOU
NEVER PAID TO SILENCE A PORN
STAR UNTIL IT TURNS OUT YOU DID.
NEVER ORDERED BOB AGAIN TO FIRE
BOB MUELLER UNTIL WE LEARNED YOU
TRY.
FAKE IS WHEN IT’S WRONG, NOT
WHEN IT’S UNPLEASANT.
JUST LIE IT ISN’T AND WASN’T
FAKE WHEN YOU SAID THE ACCESS
HOLLYWOOD TAPE WASN’T REAL WHEN
IT WAS HER THAT YOU INHERITED A
DEPRESSION FROM BARACK OBAMA
WHEN YOU DIDN’T OR THAT YOU
RIPPED QUANTITATIVE EASING WHEN
HE WAS PRESIDENT BUT ARE FURIOUS
THE FEDERAL RESERVE ISN’T DOING
THE SAME FOR YOU NOW THAT YOU
ARE PRESIDENT.
YOU’RE ENTITLED TO YOUR POINT OF
VIEW, MR. PRESIDENT, BUT YOU’RE
NOT ENTITLED TO YOUR OWN SET OF
FACTS.
WE CAN ARGUE OVER WHETHER YOU
EVER WANTED OF BUY GREENLAND OR
DISRUPT HURRICANES WITH NUCLEAR
WEAPONS BUT WE’RE -- WHERE SEEDS
ARE PLANTED, DOUBTS ARE SOWN.
YOU ARE RIGHT FOR A MEDIA ISN’T
FAIR TO YOU, THAT THEY ARE MORE
INCLINED TO REPORT THE BAD THAN
ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT YOU SO IT’S
NO SURPRISE YOU ARE FRUSTRATED
BUT MORE -- EVERYONE IF FOX
MIGHT NOT BE IN LOCKSTEP WITH
YOU.
YOU MIGHT EVEN THINK THAT THAT
THOSE WHO ARE WORK FOR YOU.
THEY DON’T.
I DON’T.
HARD AS IT IS TO FATHOM,
MR. PRESIDENT, JUST BECAUSE
YOU’RE THE LEADER OF THE FREE
