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.

[President Obama: I spend mornings watching ESPN]
Of course. ESPN went all ga......
At least Trump is married to a Real Woman
Obama’s trying to troll the master.
It’s certainly not as harmful as engaging in anal intercourse and providing fellatio.
Shut your pie hole, Hussein. At least Pres.Trump didnt send pallets of cash to the cut throats in Iran in the middle of the night, get our Libyan ambassador and his brave guards killed on 9/11/2012 because of his negligence, and rewrite the Constitution to reward illegal aliens with the right to squatt in this country.
The a hole with the basketball has a comment??
Trump didn't have the activist media covering his back. I can understand why Trump's Presidency could be disorienting for you.
Don’t forget those deeply intellectual dialogues with that paragon of brilliance GloZell.
Well, GEEEZUM, Barack!!???!!! Had you not watched the news from time to time, you would have never known about many critical events during your terms!! You ALWAYS told us that you “heard it on the news”, just like the rest of us.
Maybe you should cut DJT a little slack on this point.
(Addressed to BO, not you...)
Obama went on ESPN to announce his NCAA picks
0peckerhead was sold in his first campaign as the first “social media savvy” candidate for president.
As it turned out (half)black Barry wasn’t all that swift with his Blackberry.
And yet, it seems like he always first found out about his scandals when he saw it on the news.
Nothing of BENEFIT to the U.S., you mean. This malodorous scum spent his every waking moment scheming on how to harm the U.S. and how to help our bitter enemies, such as Iran and various terrorist groups. Oh, and using his selfie stick.
When he was in office, Obama used to talk about watching basketball on TV all the time. He also claimed to know about certain things only by seeing them on TV or reading in the paper. He’s a big liar, now, then, or both.
