It definitely discredits them in my eyes.

But when Trump now acts on Obama's former platform, the Left goes apoplectic, as if Trump acted on some new policy.

It is troubling to me that some of these outlets feel obligated to hate all things Trump. They lose credibility.
For example, Herbert Hoover was one of the most respected businessmen when elected president, yet our opinion of him as president was terrible to mediocre at best. On the other hand FDR may be vilified for his policies but most everyone has to agree he was one of the top ten presidents in US history, perhaps even top 5. He navigated the US through both the Depression and WWII and had a very neat handoff to a very capable successor. FDR was a much more skilled politician than Hoover, though in many other respects not as successful.
