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.

0 kept busy in the playroom with the pizza guy...
Trump wouldn’t have gone to bed while the Benghazi debacle was going down.
after all the damage the illegal Obama did to America, you’d think he’d have the good sense (if not the decency) to keep his big mouth shut
Do you mean the President who couldn’t pull himself away from the nearest mirror? That President Obama?
how about the dems being obsessed with controlling the news and social media.
The nation’s laziest, most corrupt, most racist, most vile POTUS in our entire history criticizing the most productive, most competent and most accomplished POTUS in our entire history. That has to be the lowest of the low-class things I’ve ever heard anyone utter in any walk of life. This no-account anti-American slob has no right to criticize anyone. He made me thoroughly sick during his reign of terror and will, unfortunately, dog me to my dying days.
He did a lot for ISIS, the MB, and related groups.
Wasn't this the guy who's standard response was "I didn't know about it until I saw it on the TV"?
Exactly right. He has people to do those mundane things for him. He probably jots down broad strokes of what he wants to say on Twitter and who he wants to troll or twit any particular day. But I doubt very much he is actually on Twitter or watching TV very much at all.
Shove it, oh Muslim eunuch quota baby.
Shove it often, you idiot whose only real qualification is serving ice cream.
Dork!
Obama watched enough college basketball to gamble on the tournament. He has no room to criticize.
Don't miss out on the faggoty grin at the end ...
Obama had his squeeze toy Reggie Love and his co-president Valerie Jarrett. Valerie controlled Barack! She probably wouldn’t let him watch TV. She controlled every word out of his mouth through the Tell-Me-Prompter. Obama has zero authority on what to do as President. His handlers lead him down the path of his presidency. Trump... he leads and people follow his lead!
0bama thinks that the only legitimate news sources are The New York Times and The Washington Post.
Of course, that was nothing compared to him turning the White House into a BET rapper fest celebrating cop killing with OUR money...
