I mean, no matter how liberal you are, obviously many media reports about him are obviously trying to provoke hysteria.

So if you're a conservative, does this make you reevaluate some of the stories you might have read about Obama?

To your greater point, only in the sense of seeing the media entities fall in line so clearly.
Obama was fellated by the mass media and skewered by various forms of small media.
Trump is nearly flipped perfectly on this.

Trump deserves all the backlash and negative attention.

However I am kind of getting tired of CNN just going on and on about Trump 24\7.

They used to be my favorite newschannel by far but Ive found myself tuning in less and less the last couple of months.

Went full circle WAY too quick.

I would've waited till the third paragraph, used 3 examples other than Obama first, then introduced 3 Obama'n atrocities.

Such is my affinity, like Tesla, for the number 3.

CNN has always gone on and on about the same shit.

The Trump coverage is nothing new for them. Trump creates the opportunities for these sensationalist stories.

It should be noted, Trump used to love to use his power (celebrity draw/viewership) to target individuals and create a 'bad deal' for them.

Fox News is the most watched media in America.

[Insert Obama era study that showed fox was the most balanced news channel]

You asked about my perception.

No matter Fox's' market share (people choosing to keep the channel on them) they are but one single cable channel.

As any single viewer, I flip ten channels or pick up 10 news papers and nine were tossing softballs to Obama. And now 9 are all Trump Armageddon drama all the time.

This isn't just me, I remember even the Atlantic wrote an article about Obama getting such a gushing press Corp in his first term.

The Atlantic is hardly a beacon of conservative contrarianism.

Most of the media fawning over Obama was related to the administration's tact and cooperative spirit with the press, not his policies. Trump has decided the media closeness is not priority, which is his prerogative. The consequence of that is ambiguity about the federal agenda in the free press and attendant scrutiny. I'd say Trump bears an appropriate amount of scrutiny from supporters and detractors. The problem is the transparently hysterical narratives that get pushed to draw attention.

I don't disagree with any of that.

Not really. I found it pretty easy to identify the hack jobs done on Obama. I always try to get info from both sides of the fence.

Today's news outlets are more interested in viewership than they are about the truth.
