There’s definitely been a flow of former Obama officials to cnn, as there will be a flow of former trump officials to Fox News and OAN. That’s pretty much how it works now with many people leaving office. But there’s really no comparison between the way Trump orchestrated Fox while in office and Obama’s attempts at the same. Sorry if you think that will make people laugh at me. That’s how I see the last four years vs the previous 8 years. To me, it’s not even close. Your suggestion that there was no space for anti Obama journalism simply does not resemble anything I recall from the Obama years. Maybe you watched different outlets than I did. Fox News certainly was critical of Obama throughout his terms.
If you consider Fox News’ treatment of Trump as “giving him a chance” then I look forward to being on the other side of a deal with you someday. Trump said what he wanted, when he wanted, for as long as he wanted on Fox News. They not only aped most everything he said but actually gave him the airwaves to say it directly. He used that network perfectly to reach his audience. Nothing like it has been ever done before, unlikely to see it again.
