A lot of people on the left including me criticized Obama actually...maybe to some he got a free pass or whatever, but not from the entire left. I mean the left is not one collective group with one unanimous opinion on everything anymore than the right is.
Also Fox is not the only news with right wing bias, didn't you hear about the thing recently with tons of news stations repeating the exact same scripted lines. All those stations are owned by one company and that company has a right wing bias so that is more than just Fox news. That said I think most of the mainstream 'news' left or right has been garbage for a while, its all about money not reporting real facts and information. Of course Trumps wifes shoe choice is not not news, but someone must have figured it would bring viewers who like tabloid style nonsense thus earning the news station more money or rather the CEO.
The mainstream tabloid "left" are really on the same team as the right. They constantly talk about about the latest stupid thing Trump said so they can avoid talking about the fact that for the first time since WWII, most Americans are worse off than their parents. They're all doing their damnedest to avoid the topic, hoping people don't notice reality.
The most disgusting thing these days is people don't care about issues. For mainstream Republicans it's "I drive a big truck and think liberals are effete coastal sissies. Liberals also don't like me because I'm a heterosexual white man, therefore I will vote Trump". For mainstream Democrats it's "Republicans are all poor white trash who are stupid, violent, racist, and hate women, therefore I will vote Clinton". Identity politics on both sides is an excuse not to think. As long as the people are busy fighting each other over cultural BS, the people with power can rest easy. Their power isn't threatened.
