> Nothing Obama could have done was going to make Obama look good on Fox News.
So "Fox News" has a massive accuracy problem. Or are they actually only "Fox Commentaries"?
I don't think that's limited to only Fox News. Cable news channels today are seem to be a strong majority opinion pieces. They also seem to mostly be mouthpieces today for whomever is coordinating a broader political message they want being discussed.
I was going of the OP article here, the quote is a concern that it makes Trump look bad, not that it is inaccurate reporting.
I do agree with you though, if reporting is wrong then that's the problem. In those cases, and there are plenty, the concern raised should be inaccuracy rather than optics though.
How do you know the coverage is "wrong"? I mean, no news org, not NYT, not Fox, not WaPo, not even NPR can determine if Trump is lying. Sure, they occasionally note that what he says is "baseless", but never lies. So how are you going to determine wrong?

Can you imagine the absolute mayhem at Fox News if Obama had declared himself the greatest president of all time.
Or declared a US company a supply chain risk after trying to weasel out of a contract.
Or, you know, incited a terrorist attack on the US Capitol...
