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....it's ok for the leftist media and for Obama's administration to attempt to profit politically from polarization, to the point that US race relations have been set back decades by Obama's administration.... but it's not ok for anyone else to endulge in polarization-for-profit? He's just mad because Fox News's ratings are still kicking the leftist cable news' @ss.

Watch as FOX NEWS goes the way of the Confederate Flag. The leftist are winning and no election can stop their march to the left. Who ever blocks them—must be removed! Watch as they control the narative that Fox is Racist —using “Code words” to cause Racism and hate! They must go to make way for the new Pravada MSNBC Network all will be forced to watch. Obama will never step down—a crisis will cause him to cancell the election (until the crisis is over and then their will be Free Elections). He will appoint Hillary as VP—and The RINOs/Progressives will OK it all. Resistence will be stamped out as Reactionary Racists.

In a non-marxist non-totalitarian society that is called "Discussion from different perspectives".

He is right in that those that don't watch Fox News really DO have not only different opinions, but a whole set of different facts that Fox News viewers. I met a couple who defined themselves as moderate, but probably really are slightly liberal. When I mentioned that Obama was giving exemptions to the healthcare mandate to certain firms and not others, they had no idea what I was talking about.

Wrong. The facts are the facts. If they don't fit the leftist agenda, the Times will bury them or modify them.

A stopped watch is right more than the NYT. About the only thing they print that is correct is the date.

Different kind of facts? How can that be? Facts are facts.

He obviously means the MSM slants the facts his way and Fox News and other outlets slant the facts toward the right or center-right.

Him and boehnor ought to get together and have a little cry fest together to get all this whining out of their systems.

There can only be one set of "facts." Any things else other than facts is fiction and thus false. The Left loves to make up things, outright lies, and try to pass them off as fact but they are still fiction.
