Why is Obama mad at FOX news?

I am not a regular watcher of FOX, however I Have watched it some. Now I will watch it more. My question is what has FOX really done to make Obama so mad? I can't find a concrete answer anywhere. Can they be sued for false info they are giving the public?

    He doesn't like it when people fact check his claims and those of his administration. Every one in the media is just supposed to nod in agreement whenever they speak.

    Fox News is not an official White House approved News organization.

    The White House apparently gets to decide which is a "real" news organization and which is not. I think it says that in the Constitution.

    Fox News inconveniently keeps finding commies in Obama's administration. It's down right embarrasing!

    Because Obama can't bully FOX like the other news outlets.

    Fox is the official news station of the republican party and has continually lied about Obama.

    We should all be "mad" at FOX news and any media outlet that believes it is their constitutional right to distort the news:

    "......falsification of the news does not rise to the level of a “law, rule, or regulation,” it was simply a “policy.” Therefore, it is up to the station whether or not it wants to report honestly."

    "During their appeal, FOX asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves. Fox attorneys did not dispute Akre’s claim that they pressured her to broadcast a false story, they simply maintained that it was their right to do so."

    For the SAME reason NIXON was mad at the Washington Post.

    They are digging up the real reasons for his actions and exposing his law breaking background.

    This administration is afraid of the truth that is proven with real facts, they want sheep who will do as they say without question.

    Why would Obama choose to shift the media focus to the "enemy" unless he wanted everyone to pay attention to the "enemy?"

    Obama wants us to watch FOXNEWS so we can all see the TRUTH!
