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.

Obama watched espn and did brackets, also went on Dave letterman and other late night morons.
He has a Sputnik tech conference and Trump is the one with the Russian problem?
His NCAA picks sucked as well as his other policies so you have a point there.
G20 Summit in Toronto, Canada
As I recall Obama stated that he first found out about some things while watching TV.
How’s you fantasy football team doing Zer0?
Does Obama own up to making himself basically unavailable to the press for most of his time in the White House while PDJT makes himself available ALL THE TIME!
Barry, you talk about filters!! By your own word, you didn’t know about anything until you read it in the papers.
“Freepers Swipe At Little Barry Habit Of Fellating Other Men”
I wonder if he “swipes” at Trump undoing 90% of what Obama put in place?
I wonder is he “swipes” at Trump fulfilling his campaign promises, which Obama never did?
I wonder if he swipes at Trump making this nation energy independent, bringing back our steel, bringing back jobs, raising the GNP, breaking employment records for everyone including Blacks and Hispanics whom Obama never helped, and getting more people off welfare?
I wonder if he swipes at all of that...and especially I wonder if he “swipes” at Trump winning the Presidency?

Now he’s taking a crap on the most valuable segment of his power base. Without them he would never have gotten elected in the first place.
