Fox News host Neil Cavuto received praise from many of his colleagues in the media after cutting away from a live feed of White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany while she discussed potential voter fraud in last week’s presidential election.
“Woah, woah, woah, I just think we have to be very clear. She’s charging the other side is welcoming fraud and welcoming illegal voting,” Cavuto said as he cut away from McEnany’s press conference on Monday afternoon. “Unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in good countenance continue showing you this.”

Cavuto quickly received praise from many media figures on Twitter, including CNN’s Brian Stelter and Oliver Darcy.
“Another sign of the Murdoch media world tug-of-war I’ve been describing: Neil Cavuto cut off Kayleigh McEnany on his show while OTHER Fox shows are promoting the same kind of B.S. she was pushing,” Stelter tweeted.

“This from Cavuto, who has been more outspoken than his colleagues on Trump’s lies, is good,” Darcy added. “But it’s also him clearing the lowest of low bars — and yet it will spawn a bunch of ‘Fox turning on Trump’ chatter when network is still carrying his water.”
