During Tuesday's edition of The View, co-host Joy Behar described President Trump as "the only President who has his own TV channel in history," adding "Nixon didn't have it, so he has Fox News and Fox will just back him up."  Co-host Abby Huntsman, who used to work at Fox News, interrupted Behar, urging her to "be careful about that" but Behar insisted on finishing her thought: "his failure as a President means their failure as a station. So they have everything invested in propping him up and backing his lies." Huntsman pushed back, asking Behar if she watched the President's interview with Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace, to which she replied "some of it." Huntsman asked Behar if she thought there were some "hard-hitting questions there," Behar didn't really answer her question.  Huntsman continued: "There are a number of folks there that very much push back on him that are not in his camp, that are great journalists." After co-host Meghan McCain, also an FNC alum, listed off some names of such journalists at Fox who push back on President Trump, Behar complained "but there are plenty who don't."
