This guy just can’t let his feud with Fox News go…
Obama battled with Fox during his eight years in office and it seems he still has a thorn in his side from how the network accurately portrayed his failed presidency.

During his long-awaited endorsement of Joe Biden, Obama managed to sneak in an attack on the network and their viewers:
“So our country’s future hangs on this election. And it won’t be easy. The other side has a massive war chest. The other side has a propaganda network with little regard for the truth,” Obama said in the video about Biden, his vice president from 2009-17. “On the other hand, pandemics have a way of cutting through a lot of noise and spin to remind us of what is real, and what is important.”
Although Obama did not mention Fox News by name, the implication was clear given the history between the network and the former president.
Early on in his administration, Obama’s animosity towards Fox News was made clear.
“We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent,” said Anita Dunn in a 2009 interview [2].
“As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave,” said Dunn, then the Obama White House communications director and now a senior adviser in Biden’s campaign. [Washington Examiner [3]]
It’s ironic that Democrats like Obama complain about Fox News being a “weapon” on the right, while they have practically the entire media promoting liberal policies 24/7.
God forbid someone has a different opinion from CNN…
