President Obama continued his criticism of Fox News, arguing that the network’s viewers are getting a different set of facts than the rest of the country.

During a WTF Podcast with Marc Maron, Obama lamented that the media is “splintered” now, with all kinds of different news outlets.

“We’re not in a common conversation,” he said. “If you watch Fox News you inhabit a completely different world with different facts than if you read (the) New York Times,” he said.

Obama said media institutions such as Fox News and political organizations were trying to profit from polarization, and that’s leaving the political system in shambles.

So what if they are? That's good thing!

So he's upset that Fox is communicating facts that the Times would prefer to suppress?

We don’t all think as he’d like us to. How is his view any different than that of Stalin or Mao? This fool is president of the United States?

FOX News is as RINO as Rove and Romney.

And THAT is exactly the same as the DNC.

And so, of course, we need Obola and the government to tell us which media to watch/listen to/believe, right?

Da, comrade! Da! We don't need no steenking 1st Amendment!

Obama considers the MSM to be ‘settled science’ or ‘settled facts’ as dispensed through his preferred outlets of the fawning lapdogs he prefers!

He actually said that? In a week that we need some encouragement and healing as a nation, he comes out to rip things apart? Not a good man.

He isn’t simply criticizing FNC. Much worse, he’s criticizing and mocking those millions who watch it. President of all the people?
