Seriously???
From 2013:
"This latest volley from the president is just one in a long line of comments from his White House as part of their campaign to silence any dissent they detect in the press corps.
Recently, the White House has kept Fox News off of conference calls dealing with the Benghazi attack, despite Fox News being the only outlet that was regularly reporting on it and despite Fox having top notch foreign policy reporters.
They have left Chris Wallace?s "Fox News Sunday" out of a round of interviews that included CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS for not being part of a ?legitimate? news network. In October 2009, as part of an Obama administration onslaught against Fox News,White House senior adviser David Axelrod said on ABC?s ?This Week? that the Fox News Channel is "not really a news station" and that much of the programming is "not really news."
Whether you are liberal or conservative, libertarian, moderate or politically agnostic, everyone should be concerned when leaders of our government believe they can intentionally try to delegitimize a news organization they don?t like. "
And here is a Washington Post story from 2013 (yes, the same Washington Post which is now saying that Trump is destroying the First Amendment and all of Democracy):

Any of that ringing a bell in your selective memory yet?
There is lots more.
You should check out a site call "Google" and put in "Obama vs Fox News"
Oh hell...I'll just do it for you and give you the link since you don't really want to do it:
