Fox's Neil Cavuto rips into Trump over attacks on Chris Wallace's impeachment coverage

Fox News's Neil Cavuto on Monday launched into a blistering critique of President Trump over his attacks against "Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace, saying that journalists are "obligated to question" the president and his defenders, even if it means "inviting your wrath."
Cavuto made the statements just a day after Trump blasted Wallace as "nasty" and "obnoxious" following an interview in which the Fox News anchor repeatedly pressed House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) over the House's impeachment inquiry into Trump's dealings with Ukraine.
"What makes something fake news?" Cavuto asked on Fox News. "I would assume if the news being reported is fake or wrong and the person presenting that news knows it is fake or wrong that is bad. But what if the news being reported is accurate?"
"My colleague Chris Wallace has discovered again the president doesnt distinguish," Cavuto added before noting that Wallace's interview with Scalise caused an "apparently furious" Trump to lash out at the broadcaster.
Cavuto went on to note that Scalise has gained Trump's support given his consistent defense of the president on matters related to impeachment.
"Lets just say [Trump] doesnt like Chris for challenging Scalise on that," Cavuto said, pointing to the questioning the Republican congressman received on Sunday.
