President Obama said Fox News "in every bar and restaurant," coupled with social media, contributed to Hillary Clinton's surprising defeat on Nov. 8 by preventing voters from learning what benefits the Democrats had delivered to them.
During an interview with Rolling Stone on Nov. 9 and published Tuesday, Obama dismissed the suggestion that his party had overlooked the "cohort of working-class white voters" that gave President-elect Trump his upset victory.
"Part of it is Fox News in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country," Obama said. "But part of it is also Democrats not working at a grassroots level, being in there, showing up, making arguments. That part of the critique of the Democratic Party is accurate."
Obama argued his administration had actually boosted the blue-collar communities that swung so hard for Trump after voting for Obama in 2008 and 2012, citing the survival of the auto industry in Michigan as an example....

Obama you guys lost.
Not because there is a widespread effort to present the public with just one side of every issue. No that is not why we won.
There is a widespread effort to present the public with just one side of every issue, but it is because CNN (the leftist mouthpiece) is in every airport I have ever been in.
No, you guys lost, and we won, because this year, Donald Trump spoke to what Americans are concerned about, and we believe him.
THAT is why you lost.
From the very little I saw of FOX, other than Hannity, the rest of them were lukewarm at very best about Trump, often fairly obvious in their opposition to him.
Therefore, I call this theory absolute and utter BS.
And CNN in every medical office and airport. What’s your point, Zer0?
Well said.
I’ve been involuntarily subjected to CNN in airports and hotel lobbies all over the place. We need a campaign to get it out of places where people have no choice but to be.
Sad, fat, drunk deplorable people.
I guess Obama hasn’t seen Fox lately
Obama is the biggest purveyor of Fake NEws. You can keep your plan, and health premiums will go down are just two of his musings.
I just watched that segment. Didn’t see what you saw.
CNN is on every airport, and doctors waiting room too.
MSN in every bath house in San Francisco.
Everybody’s to blame except him. What a delusional putz. Obama care and lack of immigration enforcement handed huge chunks of the Rat base to Trump.
Obama: The Great Divider.
O’Reilly mentioned that Goldberg had opposed Trump, and then Goldberg said that if this had been Obama or Hillary who kept Carrier here, conservatives would be attacking them.
Little does the 0bomb realize that Fox News was well-stocked with Nerver Trumpers.
All foam, no beer.
Did he, or any of his minions, visit every bar & restaurant in the country? No.
Was his lips moving? Yes.
Then, he was lying....again.
That’s all this evil, pathetic, reptilian-like creature can do is lie. He has lost all credibility and is totally irrelevant to the issue. Like most libs, he blames everything except their communist policies and criminal candidates that they spew forth like a lizard.
It won’t be long and all he will be is nothing but a nasty little fudge-stain on Lady Liberty’s undershorts.
Although very critical of Trump, I think two or three of these voted for Trump.
If not for obama, Republicans would not have required the refuge of the many saloons.
I have never, ever, seen the Fox News channel on television in public, anywhere. It is either CNN, or football and basketball games.
