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.

“he comes out to rip things apart?”
And do not make the mistake of assuming it was not intentional.
But so much of what the NYT prints isn’t FACT.
“We’re not in a common conversation,”
That statement makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
Excellent point!
WTF is a president doing on a program called “WTF” and saying “nigger”?
This coming from the Liar in Chief who told us Obamacare would be “affordable” and that you can keep your doctor amongst the 9 billion other lies that comes from this guys mouth every day. Hey I have an idea: How about he stops doing that?
Hardly.
It is intentional. I thought there was a limit to politicizing everything on the left, but apparently I got caught in a moment of naivete. I should know better.
Correct. If you watch Fox News, you have a 25% chance of understanding the world correctly.
On the other hand, if you read the New York Times, flezzle braggno corprni plaexo freeg nom sleva.
To a degree, Fox News plays the role of the child in “The Emperor’s New Clothes” - with the mainstream media reprising the roles of obesient lackeys to which they were born and heeled.
I thought that was kind of the point of even having Fox.
I have no interest in discussing anything with Progressive scumbags.
Obama, please shut down fox news. it’s bad for the common conversation.
Flash news zero, I do not watch Fox News! This is like criticizing Jesus for going too often to Church to get His education. Obama is a government welfare depending idiot, brainwashed and thinking his own safety and education is not his responsibility: ie. The typical retard robot liberal.
Until the Leftist Murdoch takes over at Faux, then everyone on the Left will welcome them with open arms.
Well mr. inhabitant of the white hut: I intend to keep listening to it while ignoring you. Stick that in your craw.
Dinosaur Media Death WatchTM
If Obama’s not careful, Fox News viewers will stop liking him.
Obama is so left wing he makes Al Franken look like Joe McCarthy
“We’re not in a common conversation,” he said.
Good. I do not want to have a conversation with him or his ilk.
Also...he’s petty!
And....I cannot WAIT until there’s new leadership at the helm.
