Yes, it is. Many people on the left basically called Fox News "fake news".

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.

So basically saying Fox News isn't really a news organization/station/channel/etc. is NOT discouraging people to from watching/listening?

I'm not blaming Obama. I blamed the "left" which includes Obama. And, sure, Trump is far worse in his treatment of the press than what the left has done to Fox News, but the fact that you're denying they did anything even remotely similar to what Trump has done is, frankly, kind of surprising.
