When I can find a series of Fox News articles that openly popularized the idea of assissinating Obama the way that CNN has done with Trump I might consider buying that CNN's guilt is no worse than Fox during the Obama era:

I disagree, this has everything to do with the press as much as it does with Trump. If the press stuck with reporting the news instead of political activism then you would have a point. Furthermore, I think that it's really thin to say that CNN only throws "suspicion" when their own execs admit that the whole Russian narrative was baseless and they just ran with it:

Actions have consequences and the President is just showing with his tweets that he is not going to be bullied by a bunch of scumbags. If Fox news or Trump were found to be intentionally lying about Obama's birth certificate then they would deserve the same treatment, proportional to the damage that they caused. Of course, Obama's birth certificate scandal recieved nowhere near the coverage that the Russia narrative has recieved and as far as I know there were no major investigations launched against Obama like Trump has had to deal with on the Russia accusations and so the damage caused by these respective scandals aren't even in the same ballpark, imo.

See here is an important distinction: Obama didn't start a war with said network. Trump did.
This is ALL on Trump for beeing unable to handle criticism and lowering the level. When you declare war, people fight back. Just so you know, because of trump many CNN journalists get death threats daily. It's not ok dude, you can't blame them for fighting back when they are attacked for doing their jobs.
As for the nothing burger. It isn't nothing. Otherwise there would be no investigation. We know for a fact that people from Trumps campaign had unregistered contacts with Russian officials. That is not nothing.

True that Trump gets riled up too much to the point that it is detrimental but don't go painting media as one to handle criticism well. Also Journalists do get death threats way before Trump was in check. You either show proof they weren't getting death threats before or you stop pinning this as "New Phenomenon" because of Trump.
