ICYMI, President Donald Trump gave an interview with Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo last week that is — SURPRISE — causing quite the outrage on the Left.
First up, here’s the interview:

Which is being called “embarrassing” by ThinkProgress:
"I agree… I know… You're doing the right thing."

And filled with “missed opportunities,” according to CNN’s Brian Stelter:

Which bring us to NY Post columnist Karol Markowicz who reminded the media in the must-read thread on how they acted when it was President Obama.
Like when the New York Times asked Obama, “What has enchanted you?”:
Journalists who spent 8 years asking Obama what makes him so awesome now upset Trump got a softball interview from @MariaBartiromo? Get back to me when she asks Trump “what has enchanted you?” like NYT reporter asked Obama. pic.twitter.com/SEvmhnmYCn

Or the “60 Minutes” interview that started off, “you have a lot of impressive accomplishments”:
Ooh remember that 60 Minutes interview where Steve Kroft started a question to Obama with “you have a lot of impressive accomplishments…” But that Maria Bartiromo, what a softie.

And then there’s this final presser with Obama and the White House press corp:
Omg I’m embarrassed for all of you: https://t.co/geg20hPSez

John Harwood got in on the act, too:
John Harwood is retweeting shade at Maria Bartiromo? You, dude? Really? Harwood asked Obama how he avoids being too cocky ? AND was exposed by Wikileaks for emailing Hillary’s campaign manager to find out what he should ask Jeb! Sit this one out, bro. pic.twitter.com/jFvyWfgjlF

There are obviously many more examples, but the point has been made:
People are replying with more insane examples from the Obama years and the Hillary campaign. Obviously this thread could go on for awhile. Would love some introspection from media people. They built this.
