Yes, totally just a tactic of the right.

In a nutshell, Trump is guy that punches back. Obama did it to Fox News often because they were critical of him. I'd argue Obama should have been happy most of the media kissed his ass. But no, Obama was always bothered Fox News existed and had opposing views to his ideology.

To the contrary, Trump has most of the media attacking him (because most of our media left wing), so he has many to attack back.

Fox News is the center of right wing ideology in the US. LeBron is a Basketball player. Good for Trump "fighting back", but for a guy who apparently is better and stronger than everyone else he sure feels threatened by a lot of things.

Fox News is essentially the only outlet for right wing views on TV. To left wingers, that's still too much right wing views on TV. Outside of that, its primarily radio and internet.

I don't know if its necessarily feeling threatened as not wanting to be attacked unfairly by the media. I always argue George W. Bush's legacy might be better if he actually attempted to defend himself, but he wasn't a great speaker either way. People listen to the media and maybe responding to its bullshit is the best tactic, overall it has worked well for Trump.
