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....

“FOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
obama to fox, after being unshaven for days and drunk after the election..
“From hell’s heart I strike at thee!!! For hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee!!!!”
Or was that my ex?
He just doesn’t get it.
CNN is in airports.
Seen Fox on maybe in a car shop or two.
That’s about it.
Libs complain if they see it so they go to the ‘neutral’ CNN.
Huh??
So Oloser had scheduled an interview with RS for the day after the election in an effort to push Corrupt’s win, or so he and Jarret thought at the time when they scheduled this interview in advance.
So Oloser is up until 3am e.s.t. on election night, realizes that Trump wins, keeps the LAME interview with Rolling Stones and it's just now getting published?
Who cares? No one. O-losers opinion continues to remain irrelevant, he is always lying and/or making things up. Pseudo journalists continue to refuse to call him out on his Lame delusions of grandeaur statements, and he continues to get interviewed.
This interview is stale, irrelevant and most likely FAKE. He met with Trump on Thursday, yet this interview took place on Wednesday, when he though Corrupt was going to win for several hours into the night?
Not buying it. No one should believe ANY interview and/or statement of Oloser or his corrupt staff now and going forward. He lies and lies and lies. When he thinks he is speaking the truth, it's only his delusions of grandeur on display.
Where did he fit this interview in when his staff was downtrodden just hours later after knowing Corrupt had lost? Anything and everything this guy will do pre-post Trump's inauguration needs ignored. He lies. Pic of his team on the same day this supposed interview happened:
A White House staff member weeps in the Rose Garden.
O-loser's ego is so big he can't even stay out of the lime light for 6 months. He craves attention, wants to be the center of attention and is used to being worshipped by the left.
Too bad for him, Trump has way more natural charisma than he will ever have and it's going to eat away at him. Ha. There is nothing he can do about it because no one respects him. Trump is a hard worker and gets things done. Period. We need to shun him at every chance.
And libs believe it because he said it.
No, it’s you, Obama, you suck.
FOX News = anti-Trump.
Obama must be kidding.
Also, Trump supporters work....we don’t hang around bars all day.
Damn you Olive Garden..!
You too Applebees..!
yeah, but cnn is in every airport, coffee shop, doctor’s and dentist’s office, so that should balance out any putative FNC presence in bars and restaurant, which is unlikely anyway since restaurants don’t generally play TV shows while patrons are eating and bars play only sports channels.
Øbama spews the same BS from both ends.
And what about CNN in every airport terminal?
...”Obsessed.”...
I have never been in a public place where FOXNEWS was being played on TV and I get around. Every hotel I have stayed in has had CNN or some other channel on the TV at breakfast. When that happened I would personally go to the desk and ask why they played CNN and not FOX and the answer I got most of the time was that it came from management. Obama needs to check the facts.
It’s not Fox News in every bar.
It was seeing a new muslim immigrant every week at Sam’s Club.
People in flyover country saw millions of Jihadists welcomed into their neighborhood.
They responded logically by buying a gun and voting Trump.
What about the propagandists who propped you up, punk? Get lost parasite.
CNN is on at airports - but airports have WIFI and everyone has their little TV’s (smart phones)... so barely anyone is watching the airport TV’s now.
I’ve seen FoxNews on at American Legions but never on at other private clubs or regular bars.
Bars will show local news, then it goes to sports or reality tv (something easy to watch-but can’t hear- when it’s noisy)
If a catastrophic event is breaking live - TV’s will go to CNN or local...but even at bars - most everyone is getting news off their smartphones instead of looking up at the TV.
Fox bashed Trump 24/7 - except for Hannity
Obama was right but for the wrong reason. It was not that FOX indoctrinated the stupid, deplorable gun/bible clingers who frequent bars that were too stupid to understand how great Killery was and how racists Trump was, but rather because those people were smart enough to know they did not want to watch fake news, like CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC. (Not that FOX is now that much better as since Ruppie’s sons took over it’s gone way downhill.)
