A few weeks ago President Obama and members of his administration started a war against Fox News. They refused interview requests from the network, claiming it offered only opinion.

The anti-Fox campaign elicited a plethora of commentary from those on all sides of the political spectrum in defense of the network. They argued that government favoritism can flip depending on who is in power; the American people are smart enough to decide for themselves which news outlets to trust; and that a free society depends on a free press treated equally under the law.
