October 2008 from ABC Obama Boots Reporters From Conservative Papers

2009 Obama administration labeled Fox as “not a news network”
quote:

In 2009, as a feud between Fox News and the Obama administration over Fox’s coverage boiled over – the White House labeled the conservative channel “not a news network” – the administration excluded Fox News from interviewing “pay czar” Kenneth Feinberg, who was handling distribution of TARP funds during the financial crisis. The other television news networks showed solidarity by staging a “revolt” and boycotting their scheduled interviews. “All the networks said, that’s it, you’ve crossed the line,” CBS News’ Chip Reid reported at the time.
Aides to President Obama are now casting Fox, a unit of the News Corporation, as a part of the political opposition. “We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent,” said Anita Dunn, the White House communications director, in a telephone interview on Sunday. “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.

So, can we get a list of all the shitty things that Obama did that Trump gets to do without being criticized since Obama did it first?

I'm not a fan of Obama.

Can we agree that it was a terrible idea to bar the media when Obama was president, and it's a terrible idea to bar the media now that Trump is president?

I wouldn't say it's a shock. It's just funny because I don't remember anyone I know accepting "Bush did it" as a pass for Obama.

Lots of "alleged" and "accused of" in that list. And the one where he actually left people behind was because there was no more room on the plane and he wasn't even president at that point.

Also: I thought Obama was horrible. Why is it ok if your guy follows on the footsteps of "worst ever"?

So Obama was a good President now, as Trump is just following his lead?

As I said in another thread, precedents are a bitch. What goes around comes around. Elections have consequences, etc. Democrats and their compliant media have declared war against Trump and war is what they have created. For all intents and purposes the U.S. is in the midst of another Civil War because liberals are setting a precedent of not accepting the results of the last election.
