You didn't mention CNN or MSNBC in your list, but even they aren't "fake news", but they are ideological networks with a very clear bias. As is Foxnews.

Again, I posted an article highlighting some of the many cases where Obama called out Foxnews as distorting the truth to turn voters against him. How is that different from what Trump does with CNN?

Because Fox often just makes stuff up, pushes conspiracy theories, intentionally misleads etc...CNN might have some bias in what they decide to cover but they still follow journalistic standards.

Also, Trump's attacks against the media are 10,000X+ anything Obama ever did.

"CNN might have some bias in what they decide to cover "

They were covered by affiliates and etc. I also don't believe you can't see the difference between what Obama said on (on a handful of occasions) and a repeated effort to demonize and discredit any media that criticizes or is negative of him, to the point of calling journalism the enemy or the people. That it's Stalin, Mao, Putin territory.
