OBAMA ATTACKS FOX NEWS VIEWERS… AGAIN
breitbart ^ | june 22, 2015 | charlie spiering

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.

We are in the Golden Age of News Media.

There are more outlets with more diverse opinion available to more people than ever before in history.

Obama’s statement illustrates the president’s true ignorance of history (as if he has not thoroughly demonstrated that fact sufficiently)

For the history of the United States from the founding to the current day there has been in most of the cities of the country more than one news out let.

Be they standard newspapers, tabloids, weeklies, monthlies or something else; most cities of any size had more than one news outlet with one or more opposing views on the topics of the day.

Today’s national news media is simply a continuation of that history.

It is one of only a few bright spots in the current body politic.

As if the New York Times should be accepted as the authority on anything!

“We’re not in a common conversation,”

Dumb shiite seems to forget half the nation did not want him elected and still rejects his rule.

Did he think six years of pissing us off would fix that?

Works both ways, a$$hole! Who are you to say that the NY Slimes is correct, let alone unbiased? GFY!

I suspect that he would be a better man, and act like an adult, if he’d had the crap knocked out of him a few times in the school yard.

The creepy totalitarian thinks all ‘news outlets’ should be liberal. You know - the kind that take gussied up press releases and rework them to mildly look like ‘news’... We should interview the lazy ones at the New York Times. They can tell us a story.
