I understand that, but even so, many on the left were and are to quick to dismiss ANYthing from Fox News because "it's Fox News".

The "right" accusing the "left" of being wrong/making stuff up started long before Obama.  Limbaugh was just the biggest name I could think of from back in the day.  There were certainly others.

I'm not talking about accusing the other side of lying. I'm talking about accusing a news organization of being "fake news".

It's not WHO he attacks...it's HOW he attacks.  And how often.  

I do not disagree. Just pointing out it didn't start with him.
