Mediaite pulled out the funniest part of Barack Obama’s latest softball interview with Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner. When asked about Donald Trump’s victory, he blamed part of it on “Fox News in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country.”

Let’s not wait for PolitiFact to judge whether Fox News is actually on the TV set in every bar and restaurant in the red states. (They won’t.) Conservatives on Twitter quickly made several apt points:

I just read CNN is about to be challenged by Clear Channel. Let the lawsuits begin!

I have never been to a bar or restaurant that had Fox News on the TV. I was in a Micky D’s in Florence KY about 10 years ago and fox was on the TV. So unusual I remember it, first because most Micky D’s do not have TV’s and second Fox was on.

In this election, [white working class voters] turned out in huge numbers for Trump. And I think that part of it has to do with our inability, our failure, to reach those voters effectively.

Oh their message reached us just fine, we have been getting the liberal message for years now. They do not understand that is why they lost! We were reached, and we didn't agree!

I work at Walmart and we have basic cable TV in the break room, and what is on for cable news, CNN. We do not get anything else. That is the problem, I suspect most basic cable TV packages only offer CNN and nothing else.

Yes. And I have prayed that he, just once, take a header coming off of that jet with his arms bouncing up and down. Just ONCE.

We were on a Jet Blue flight from Boston to LAX on Sunday and their Direct TV had every channel but a Fox.

He will be in for a shock after he leaves office when nobody pays any attention to him.

The MSM will immediately blast Obama ‘s comments as (1) “unproven”; and (2) as a threat to the media, the First Amendment, and The American Way. /sarc

Got it.
Clinton News Network in every airport, gay bar and government building, OK.
Fox News in those same locations, not OK.

Got it, Barry.

Have you started packing yet?

To be fair to the Bars and Restaurants, who wants to put up with clientele after watching CNN...What a downer for business.

My bar doesn’t turn on news channels unless there’s some big breaking story like a terrorist attack. Usually it’s sports or local news, or The Price Is Right for the morning duffers. On Thursday morning, the bartender turns on a horse racing channel to watch races that he and a few others have bet on at the local casino.

“Fox News in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country.”

Isn't this slightly offset by CNN in every airport?
