Please keep believing that.

Ok. I'll wait while you come up with a list of all the folks on the left calling the free press the "enemy of the people."

Not the same.

Every elected official has a strained relationship with any news outlet that talks bad about them; or a good relationship with whoever praises them. Obama and Fox didn't get along, mostly due to Fox talking heads saying he was a terrorist, not a legal citizen, etc. That is in no way the same as calling the press the enemy of the people. Or encouraging people not to listen anyone who disagrees with him.

At some point, you've got to stop blaming Obama. In this instance, this is that point. Nothing he did with Fox News equates to what Trump and the right have done here.
