They do it - Obama especially - because Fox News is an easy target that even Republicans and Conservatives will view with disdain. They overreact - when they do - because it's an easy way to be less ambiguously in the right, to get more people on your side. Make a bigger issue of the issues on which a greater number of people will concur. You'll get more good press out of attacking Fox News than, say, attacking something less known or more respectable.
It needn't be fear at all. Opportunism is enough reason.
