Right-wing media claim Obama is criticizing Fox for "tough questions" and "reporting the truth" | Media Matters for America

Right-wing media claim Obama is criticizing Fox for "tough questions" and "reporting the truth" Media Matters for America:

"Several right-wing media figures have claimed that the Obama administration is criticizing Fox News because the network asks 'tough questions' and is 'reporting the truth.' This assertion is undermined by Fox News' extensive history of advancing falsehoods, repeatedly passing off GOP materials as news, doctoring quotes, and frequently engaging in outrageous attacks on President Obama, such as Glenn Beck's claim that he is a 'racist' with a 'deep-seated hatred for white people, or the white culture -- I don't know what it is.'"
