Your remarks above are thoughtful and kind.

Their disrespect of Obama has been there since 2008, but it seems to intensify as time goes by. Why are they so relentlessly hostile to him? Don't they believe that he is trying his best?

I got rid of my TV a number of years ago. Worked well for me.
You're sure not going to get me to defend Fox or virtually any other media. To suggest to any of these folks that their job is objectivity would fall on deaf ears.
I question if the total amount of biased-derisive content from the media directed towards Obama approaches the level Bush experienced in his later years.
Bush was given the benefit of the doubt, to some extent, after 9-11 but was pumelled as time passed.
