Anyone concerned about that? The man who may be president doesnt watch the news or any politics.No, there's a million things that are concerning about Obama, and this ain't one of them.
Bush never watches the news either and prides himself on it.
I don't think watching the latest Chrissy Matthews or Olberdork rant is all that helpful to a politician.

Well, when Mr. Obama appears on my TV, I change the station right away.

On my long long list of things to worry about...
what he or you or anyone else chooses to watch
or not watch on TV is way way down at the bottom.

"The man who may be president doesnt watch the news or any politics."I wish you hadn't posted this.
My opinion of Hussein just increased exponentially.

Lots of Obama’s beliefs and behaviors concern me, but not this.

He doesn’t watch news because he’s too thin-skinned to handle criticism.

I don't watch TV regularly anymore and yet I am generally considered well-informed about the world. How do I manage this? Online news sites, print newspapers, journal articles, and occasionally the radio.
The stuff on the evening news is so commercialized and geared towards the lowest common denominator that the news takes a back seat. It is rare I see a debate or interview that doesn't turn into a shouting match or a battle of talking heads. On average, the "news" is just sensationalized violence with a dabbling of entertainment industry and sports. Plus, think of how much time the average segment runs...1-3 minutes, tops. That's not enough time to examine a topic! And for the most part, the news isn't being constantly updated.
In other words, TV < other media (in my opinion) for fact gathering.

If I was in his shoes, I wouldn’t watch CNN or any of the others. I would have someone watch them for me, to know what was being said about me or my opponents, but I wouldn’t watch. You need to keep your head clear in his situation.
And, hey, I’m not in his shoes and I still don’t watch them. Why should I sit there and let them lie to me? The signal to noise, truth to lie ratio isn’t very good. I’d rather listen to the music channel and surf FR.

One cardinal rule of the road is, we dont watch CNN, the news or MSNBC. We dont watch any talking heads or any politics.”
Why would anybody over the age of 15 be willing to accept this claim as being truthful?
