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:

Oh, no doubt! Here in SoCal it’s the same.

I question whether Obama would ever walk into a bar and strike up a conversation with a stranger. Just not in him, unless there was a rainbow flag displayed somewhere.

The Weather Channel may hawk the global warming gospel, but they also show “Ice Road Truckers.” People see all that ice and snow and don’t believe in global warming.

Now the Pundit in Chief has determined that Trump’s margin of victory came from drunks coming out of bars, after watching Fox News, and stumbling their way to the polling places.

I have a neighbor who is at the local VA hospital at least 2 times a week.

He walks in & CNN is on the TV. He walks over to the counter, grabs the remote, & changes it to Fox. They don’t say a thing to him.

Obama is talking like a dictator not a president.

The free market does not want CNN.

CNN is not on TV

of course the CNN of the USA is vastly different from the CNN in Europe and other countries.

It’s not a conspiracy - it’s a fact.

Almost everything is set up to keep us brainwashed.

New media is their death knell - first the Internet and Rush, then Fox (now lost), then FB and Twitter which Trump will use to trump the media..........

Their control of the old media will not change.

But they will lose their impact.......

He acused Trump of whining. This is just laughable and proof what fascists they are. They can’t stand any voice of dissent.
