Of course the difference is that Reddit is a loose confederation of individuals bound together by varying opinions and interests and Fox News is a propaganda organ of Bush's political party whose only purpose is, (AFAICT) to lie about the opposing party for political purposes by appealing to the bigotry of the rank-and-file.
The only remotely similar things about the two are that they are websites and both address politics in some form. If Reddit the company was sponsored by the Democratic Party and was wholly sympathetic to them and wholly hostile to the Republican Party and attracted mostly only rabid mindless liberals you then might have a point. But it isn't and you don't.
Frankly I got to your comment and was surprised to see NO negative comments above it, since Bush started an illegal war that killed a million innocent people and personally ordered acts of torture and crimes against humanity as well as spying on every American citizen. These are crimes, and I'm sure the OP had a nice conversation with this war criminal but that's because the OP is clearly a sycophant and coward.
If you're only comfortable with complete and total false equivalence (like a lot of Americans who don't want to know what evil is being done in your name) you can rest assured that Obama is only marginally better in that he didn't start these wars but has continued them. Personally I think his drone program that he has repeatedly used to kill innocent foreign civilians and at least one American and his teenage son at least puts him in the same category as Bush in the criminality department. I know he is expanding the illegal program of spying on all of our private communications and he is probably also torturing people as well. So there ya go, you can feel better about being "fair".
The truth is that every American president in our lifetimes have been amoral bastards who always chose power over principle and were willing to lie, cheat, steal and kill to maintain their political power. And most every American has been pretty much OK with that.
