Real Music began a thread with
this video of Fox's Neil Cavuto criticizing Trump. It's worth attending to. I'm not familiar enough with Cavuto to know if his sharp tone (sort of an angry pontification) is unusual or not but the more interesting aspect is
1) Cavuto's implicit thesis is that Trump is doing damage to himself and the conservative agenda by saying things that aren't true (and which provide fodder for his critics)
2) how Cavuto centers the blame with Trump and how he lets other Republicans off the hook.
I'd make the case that this follows the theme being advanced by the "resistance" (the true and good conservatives). A clear differentiation is being advanced here between Trump the individual and all other Republicans/conservatives. Note the very final sentences...

We'll have to wait and see if Fox voices begin turning more and more in this direction. My certainty they will is pretty robust. It will be tricky and will take a while for them to move more universally into an anti-Trump stance given their prior and near-absolute boosterism mainly because Fox is Murdoch's big money spigot and they can't afford to lose the GOP base. But what they can do is what they've done all along - to train that base to think in certain ways.
