President Obama and Fox News

President Obama has publicly condemned Fox News as against him (all the other media favored him, but he wanted them all). He blames Fox in part for Hillary Clinton's (his) losing the election. This is not true, but Fox did give more coverage to jihadists and massacres than the other channels, and that translates in people's minds as a security failure, aka the president's failure. Fox also gave more coverage to the decimation of Christian communities in war torn countries. Since about 80% of US citizens are considered Christian, Obama was seen as anti-Christian for not admitting Christian refugees. Other media sources ignore the plight of Christians. It starts to add up.
