Former President Barack Obama implicitly criticized President Donald Trumps media habits in a speech on Wednesday. During a Splunk tech conference, Obama said it was helpful as president to have a diverse staff offering a wide range of advice on the issues of the day. The other thing that is helpful is not watching TV or reading social media, he added pointedly, according to Axios. He warned about people living in filter bubbles of information, made worse by social media. Thats not healthy for a democracy and its not healthy between countries, he said. Thats how wars get started and bad things happen. Obama had a history of purposefully ignoring cable news during his presidency. During an off-the-record conversation with prominent newspaper columnists, Obama let it slip that he doesnt watch TV and doesnt watch cable news, a comment that leaked to the media.

You’d think a netflix executive would like someone watching tv....
“Obama did NOTHING in 8 years.”
I disagree. The Fraud was and is all of our enemies’ biggest cheerleader, every chance he got and has.
President Selfie-stick
At the end of the day, nobody really knows how much TV Trump watches, nor how much time he actually spends tweeting.
He has a staff that bring all sorts of stuff to his attention and he may actually spend very little time on twitter other than to type a few responses (i.e. troll) and then move on.
Obama was too busy smoking choom and eating Doritos.
We are not a democracy, you idiot!
Not everyone’s into gay pornos, Barry.
BS, how fitting.
What Obama likes to watch.
[Thats not healthy for a democracy”]
The United States of America is a Constitutional Republic, Manchurian Candidate Barack.
But you already knew that, didn’t you?
Just have to keep perpetuating your lies.
Well, at least he’s a legal president.
Can he name one war that was started by social media.
what a stupid asshole
So he didn't do "nothing"...
President Obama: ‘I spend mornings watching ESPN’
During an interview Friday with ESPN’s popular radio show “The Herd with Colin Cowherd,” the president said that most of his mornings started with the Worldwide Leader in Sports.
“I spend most of my time watching ESPN in the morning,” President Obama said. “I get so much politics I don’t want to be inundated with a bunch of chatter about politics during the day.”
The president explained that watching ESPN’s “Sportscenter” while working out in the morning gave him a pretty good sense of the sports world because he doesn’t really have time to sit down and watch entire games.
However, he said that he’s sometimes able to watch major championships like the Super Bowl or the World Series.
Trump has probably figured out many of the hand written letters from people ‘who have been Republicans their whole lives’ are really coming out of Democrat War Rooms...
and that everything out of the mouths of these jerks is likely a lie.
Watching TV - and giving speeches - allowed Trump to get feedback not filtered through democrat and intelligence thugs.
I would believe this. If its not about him, entirely, he is not interested.
Also, I have always thought him to be intellectually lazy, so watching any cable news would be a strain on that weak brain of his.
Mark Levin used to read 0bama’s daily schedule to his radio audience. Most of the morning was spent in bed or in the gym while watching ESPN. Lunch. Meet and greet with press and some bum like Al Sharpton about 2:00pm. Time to go upstairs and watch TV in the family quarters.
0 kept busy in the playroom with the pizza guy...
