Fox News is by all accounts the media voice of the Republican party. It was founded to be a network where conservatives could dominate the coverage and Republican views could be disseminated. As such, it has been very successful. Part of that success is being very critical of anything Democrats do. Fox News was as harsh towards Bill Clinton as it has been towards Barack Obama. The Fox audience believes the rest of the media are liberal (they are not-- they are corporate, as is Fox) and they expect Fox News to support Republican policies and criticize Democratic ones.
Fox does not disappoint its viewers -- by and large, its commentators are relentlessly critical of anything Mr. Obama says and does; opponents of Fox and fans of President Obama have pointed out that Fox commentators frequently make exaggerations about him, take his statements out of context, and distort the policies he is promoting to make them sound radical and scary. To be fair, not everyone on Fox is a commentator and not everyone is harsh and hyper-critical. Fox has several news reporters (Shep Smith and Brett Baier, for example) who try their best to be fair and accurate in their reporting. But the commentators are a different story and they get excellent ratings by constantly opposing President Obama on a regular basis.

Is Fox News airing a special about Obama on Sunday night?
No channel, because this refers to a very old myth from circa 2008-2009.

No such documentary existed, nor did Fox News ever agree to show one. Plus, contrary to what you may read on anti-Obama blogs, there are no "secrets" about the president, and Fox News does not have any information that they haven't already reported.
