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....

And MSDNC is on every Starbucks in the country. How did that work out.
Pathetic loser.
Yep. That’s the only reason he won. Anyway...need help packing?
Oh yeah, The Deplorables just hang around bars and restaurants 24/7 and bob their heads up and down agreeing with everything said on FNC.
Right,idiot.
.
An idiot as usual. Trump was the last person anyone on FOXnews wanted to become President.
That man sure has access to good weed.
Good grief - CNN and their ilk have Fox by at least 20:1 in public places, even here in flyover country. At least!
liberal lies taught in every school and college kept Trump from winning all 50 states!
see how that works Hussian !
I just saw a clip of O’Reilly on Youtube from tonight and he had on Bernie Goldberg, who I didn’t know was a Trump basher, because I don’t watch Fox. Go back to the Democrat Party Bernie.
Certainly there was no Faux News in those bars where the Towel Boy and Reggie Love hang out, the ones all around Dupont Circle.
What a pathetic little man
Fox didn’t support Trump. Kelly,Shep, Rove, Gutfeld, Perino, Goldberg, Murdoch. Other names I forget.
That too. With the exception of Hannity and Judge Jeanine...
Fox Business was a little more balanced, but where does one see them in public? I don’t think I ever have!
Luckily, I also watch FOX, and I am completely able to listen, compare, and decide for myself.
Very few places show Fox, they tend to show CNN.
Trump saved those Carrier jobs by getting them to watch Fox News.
ahhhhh, now we know why Trump won.
Every airport and hotel restaurant in America has CNN on. I honestly cannot think of a single establishment where I’ve seen Fox News on.
LOL, there are a lot of us who wouldn’t be caught dead watching the pathetic thing called television.
