Sort of have to wonder what his intentions are, but I am glad he said, cable news is indeed ridiculous.

Wait, do people actually think that watching the TV is more informative than reading the news?

>>91609
He's always made this point about the political echo chamber being disconnected from reality. Even during the campaign, when cable news would be freaking out over some temporary setback, he told his people to ignore the talking heads, and focus on the task at hand.

>>91610
considering papers like the New York Times intentionally don't cover stories that don't promote their agenda, yeah I'd say I learn shit loads more from TV, talk radio and the internet than the fucking newspaper in today's world

Beyond that if I really want to read stories from the newspaper I can just go read the Associated Press or Reuters

The fact that dipshits like you still think the newspaper is relevant or informative is lolworthy.

People only buy it for the Sunday coupons any more

If you want real, unbiased news

>>91616
>He's always made this point about the political echo chamber being disconnected from reality

He lives in the biggest echo chamber of all

Did you know he replaced all the old paintings of American history in the White House with pictures of himself?

His entire existence is echo chamber and now he wants us to shut out the echo chamber, so we'll follow along like nice little puppies with his shit?

I don't think so Tim. Politicians complaining about media coverage do so because it's hurting them. If it wasn't he'd be all happy about us listening to it, he can fuck off if he doesn't enjoy the scrutiny of his policies and their effects maybe he should have stayed a Senator

All cable news outlets have been rediculous ever since the Monica lewinski scandal/OJ simpson trial. They will say and do anything to get a few more viewers. Better off watching Naked news, at least they show tits.

>>91619
He didn't mention the internet (most likely because he realizes the internet is more dynamic and varied than Cable TV news). Also, his point was that the networks are melodramatic.

>>91628
His entire Presidency has been predicated on melodrama

Complaining about it now in news coverage is lolololololworthy

You can't get more melodramatic than his campaign speeches, his positions and his statements on the state of the nation when he came into office, bro. He's a sad pathetic child who is lashing out at the media now that it doesn't like him quite as much any more.

He's like a scorned wife in a bad relationship

And any reasonable person at this point should realize this is how the media operates: It builds up a guy as the golden calf (Tiger Woods for example), then relishes destroying them piece by piece over months of coverage that is outlandish and overblown.

Again. Obama is merely reaping what he sowed

Good for him. He must have got that from a white guy.

>>91624
Every president has to be insulated for security purposes. And no, he consistently made the point about the echo chamber throughout his campaign and presidency.

But yes, he did time such a bold statement about the networks to coincide with negative coverage. He put the right message out at the right time to benefit his agenda. Welcome to politics, that's how everybody does it, and if you don't think so, you're very naive.

>>91649

Ass kissing

More excuses and ass kissing

>Welcome to politics, that's how everybody does it,

And now, to the coup de grace, the man who was about doing everything differently, about changing the entire way Washington worked, is being defended on the basis that, well, THIS IS JUST HOW THINGS ALWAYS WORK

Look bro. Give up. People like you are done. You have no credibility. You're a joke. Obama is a joke, and you're ass kissing, excuses making, butt covering, is done. We simply are not open to this sort of cajoling drooling simple minded mentality any more.

next we should burn books because they angry up the blood.

>>91649

>he consistently made the point about the echo chamber throughout his campaign and presidency.

Except when it was good for him, then it was oooootaaaay!

This thread better be trolls trolling trolls because I refuse to believe that there are so many retarded people in the world who actually believe that cable TV isn't flat out lying to its viewers about Obama.

HEY GUYS HAVE WE SEEN HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE YET?

OMG NO TIE!

Healthcare = SOCIALISM

Pictures in office = ARROGANT JERK

Wants to reduce debt? = RUINING AMERICA
Wants to reduce/increase taxes = WORST PRESIDENT EVER

ACORN!!!!!!!

Wants to close Gitmo because it condoned and even encouraged torture = UN-AMERICAN!

Wants to have terrorist trials in America = HUGE DANGER TO THE ENTIRE COUNTRY

OBAMA IS RACIST AGAINST WHITES

OBAMA WANTS TO ENFORCE WHITE SLAVERY

Spending freeze = NOT ENOUGH

War in Afghanistan = NOT NEEDED


derp de derp GOP doesn't obstruct him lol they're the minority they don't even VOTE lol

>>91657
Cool non-response, bro.

Nobody seriously thought that Obama was going to take every single bit of politics out of Washington. You're a moron, who has written off a president in his first year in office, when all economic indicators are pointing up.

Obama's numbers are the same as Reagan's were at this point in his presidency.

>>91672
No cable tv show promotes the birther philosphy, nice strawman it's entirely on the internet and mostly shunned by legitimate talkers

>>91677
The only non response here is from you, supporting a POLITICIAN telling people not to INFORM THEMSELVES through a FREE PRESS, defending Obama when he goes DIRECTLY AGAINST HIS OWN CAMPAIGN PROMISES, defending him to the UTTER END with a bunch of BULLSHIT about how "WELL POLITICS ARE ALWAYS THIS WAY HE JUST NEEDS TO GET HIS MESSAGE OUT BY TELLING EVERYONE TO STOP LISTENING TO THE NEWS"

Which in itself is fucking retarded. How is he gonna get his message out if people tune out?

And NEWSPAPERS are notoriously far to the left of the main stream in this country, and they almost all suck Obama fat black cock day and night so of course he wants us to listen to them and only them.

You can go suck his cock but I believe in freedom of speech and freedom of the press and I"m going to express it by listening, reading, watching and talking about politics and getting my news from every source possible

You can go live in the real echo chamber of reading day old propaganda directly from Obama's rectum and shit hole, but stop trying to justify Obama making these comments because they're indefensible you brainwashed robot moron

More redneck rage! Your delicious conservative butthurt only makes me stronger.

>I believe in freedom of speech and freedom of the press
Yeah, that's what he said- ban all news programs. He's explicitly stated that he's not opposing the Fairness Doctrine, if that's what you're referring to.

Obama told a bunch of senators to talk to their constituents about what's going on in the world, instead of relying on cable news, and you're screaming in opposition. You are the typical example of the echo chamber. You can't even hear the other side.

Haters gonna hate.

>>91715
He said stop watching them

Any attempt at suppression of the competition through restriction or suggestion of loss of freedom of speech and press should be viewed as a vile thing in our society

>>91728

Public media in the world is a bad thing. The majority of votes is controlled by how the media presents the candidates and having the media do thatis why so few media companies even noticed the recession. CNN didn't like Bush because he hated the media and it seems they chose a lame horse in Obama because he hates it too.

He wasn't ragging on TV news guys, just Cable Network News. Local news doesn't have that kind of controversy bias.

Also... this is kind of deja vu
Jon Stewart on Crossfire

When is this guy going to go back to Haiti

This isn't surprising. It's just obligatory fanservice to the imploding newspaper market that helped him get elected in the first place.

>>91694
have fun not getting elected 2012

>>91751
When he rags on Cable News what he means is Fox and what he really means is "That damn Fox News has hounded my ass this entire past year and goddammit my personality just ain't enough to maintain against that pressure so I need to get people to shut em up!"

And so he goes and tells Congress, the Senate and thus the nation to turn off cable news and just go read coverage that is majority favorable to him.

It's fucking retarded. It's disgusting from a president, if his ideas were popular at all, no amount of coverage would hurt him, more importantly he's gotten nothing like the constant all day barrage from every corner Bush received posted Iraq invasion all the way to the end of his career, for 5 and a half straight fucking years, and he's out there essentially screaming "Mercy Mercy".

When are people like you going to realize Obama is just a big ol fat wet noodle in a suit?

>>91768
>implying that Obama told people to read newspapers
Obama: If everybody here turned off your CNN, your Fox, just turn off the TV, MSNBC, blogs, and just go talk to folks out there, instead of being in this echo chamber where the topic is constantly politics.

You are the product of the echo chamber, face it.

>>91768
that's demeaning to wet noodles

>>91768
I fail to see where he told people to read coverage that is favourable to him. Please enlighten me.

>>91779
every media outlet is sucking his cock except FOX

>>91768 When are people like you going to realize Obama is just a big ol fat wet noodle in a suit?

As oposed to bush when he made it illegal to photograph the coffins of deal solders sent back from iraq. Oh wait, thats okay, because he was white.

>>91774

Thing is that the average person will not read a factual articile in a newspaper. Every nation has a problem with tabloid newspapers using freedom of speech laws to post what the fuck they like with no consequences. Look at the British media, they instantly jump on any chance to go MPSAREROBBINGCUNTS even though people voted in that particular power and the tabloids being the mainstay of news read in the country. Newpapers shouldbe loosely regulated by an outside governmental office that stops them posting information without a good source.

>>91549

Yea except he has also attacked blogs (alternative media) which actually do better fact-checking and put stories into context better than corporate media.

So what, does Obama want Americans to just be completely ignorant?

Obama: "All you need to know will be presented in my public my addresses."

>>91768

As a liberal, I will admit that you raise a good point. Obama doesn't have 1/10 of the shitstorm that Bush had gathered.

One nice thing about Bush is that he sort of said fuck everyone and did his own shit.

Transparent presidencies can't have that attitude I guess.

>>91783

That's right. Fox takes it up the ass.

>>91783
He also suggested people to not watch those outlets that "suck his cock". Instead, he suggested we go out and talk to real people, and deal with real issues.

>>91791
>blogs
>fact-checking

>>91788
>As oposed to bush when he made it illegal to photograph the coffins of deal solders sent back from iraq

First of all it's OPPOSED

Second of all Bush didn't make it illegal, that started back after Vietnam, what he did was refuse to make it legal, which okay, you might have a point about that

But he never told people not to read or watch or listen to whatever they chose. That's a fact.

And a lot of the soldiers corpses media thing is about the families and trying to have respect for them and their suffering but whatever we don't expect you sub human Obama lovers to actually think about things from any perspective except your own selfishness

>>91792

As a secondary point, though, Obama was telling this to POLITICIANS. Because politicians were being surrounded by controversy and rumors and misleading shit 24/7 and honestly, can you say that anyone in DC gives a fuck about the average citizen anymore?

>>91800 a lot of the soldiers corpses media thing is about the families and trying to have respect for them and their suffering

hahaha, what an idiot. Forbiding the photos was indeed put into practice by bush after one artice was published that was againts the war that used a pic.

It was such a blind grab by bush, that even local newspapers were getting notices when they would have an article with a pic of a dead solders coffin.

It wasnt showing respect to ban the photos, it was sweeping another dead kid under the rug and not providing the respect he deserved having died for his country.

Fox = mouthpeice for the right

CNN = mouthpeice for the left

FOX = Bullshit = CNN

>>91792
this is nowhere near a transparent presidency

sorry to burst that bubble bro

>>91802
The politicians in question, aka the Democrats in Congress and the Senate, have been doing nothing but turning off their phones and shit canning their email accounts to avoid listening to the people, hence why they were forced to listen in Massachusetts this past month

>>91789
But nobody takes those tabloids seriously except stupid people, who would just come up with shit on their own if there weren't any tabloids. In any case I doubt that would happen in America because the restriction of the government's infringement on freedom of the press is one of the more explicit lines in the bill of rights.

>>91813
Well come on, CNN is less biased as fox. Rember that fox was showing old footage at rallies and cutting away from any live feeds that made it look bad (Like the obama q&a)

OK Senators and Congressmen...don't pay attention to the media...just gather up a bunch of uninformed people, had them a question or two to ask you....then promise them stuff....That's what I did and look at me, first black President

CNN lately has made a fair enough shot at trying for the middle ground on some things

They've failed a lot in that as well but they aren't blatant like MSNBC or Fox, at least not AS blatant

Not a big CNN fan but they deserve some cred for that

>>91798

Nice job of completely not making a point.

>>91791
It isn't about facts. It's about controversy bias.

>>91815

So Very True Bro, on your statement of transperancy

But you lack knowledge on why the demonkats lost in Massachusetts. Our Country rightfully fears a concentration of power in one entity. So Dems with a congressional supermajority scares everyone who believes in checks and balances.

I'm a Left Leaning Independant who agrees with healthcare reform but even I would have vote for the playgirl fag

>>91824

>>91549

You know what...

I agree. For the first time since he was put into office I can look at Obama and say hes right. Hes fucking right. I'm so tired of TV pundits. I'm tired of Bill ORLY, I'm tired of Faux News. I'm tired of Keith Olbermann slobbing on Obama's knob. I'm tired of Chris Matthews getting a tingly feeling in his leg when Obama talks. I'm tired of people who watch televised mass media for 20 minutes and think they're informed. Fox News, MSNBC... one leans Republican one leans Democrat, but thats about the only difference I see. Take that away and the shell that remains is biased, unfiltered shit. Just shit. They're both shit. Stop watching them and read a fucking newspaper. I don't care which one, just start reading a newspaper. The NY Times, the Wall Street Journal... whatever your flavor, read a fucking newspaper. You'll be much more informed than if you sit in front of the TV listening to some big headed pundit blow hot air through your speakers. You don't need TV, you need to be informed.

On that note, people need to stop going to websites like the Huffington post for their news (and whatever the right wing counterpart is). Going to websites like this and reading their retarded slant does NOT make you informed, in fact it makes you far more stupid than the people who are mesmerized by the TV.

Pick up a fucking newspaper you ignorant cunts. This is the first point that I can agree with Obama on in a while.

Mr President, I've lost my job, my house is being forclosed on, I can't afford to send my kid to college....

Don't worry, vote for me, I'll make government programs to fix all that

We the President nao.....

>>91833
>But you lack knowledge on why the demonkats lost in Massachusetts.

Ah no, and this November will be proof of that, because the American people are looking to be about ready to throw every Democrat they can get their hands on our of office and what will that do? Put everything back in the hands of the Republicans

Obama and his hope and change will be dead for certain at that point, one of the greater media generated fiasco phenomena to hit this nation will wither on the vine before producing any tangible real results and liberals everywhere will be demoralized for a generation over the event.

>>91836
fuck the newspaper

>>91842
Then watch local news or news hour.

>>91844
Why you assume so much

Do you not know what happens when one assumes?

You make an ASS outta U AND ME BUDDY

I watch local news, I watch national news, I watch cable news, I read the internet, I read local papers. SOMETIMES I EVEN READ THE LOCAL PAPER....ON THE INTERNET HOOOOOLLLLYYY FUCK

This isn't rocket science dude, he's telling people to stop tuning in so they'll agree with him more. That's pretty fucking pathetic

obama is a communist, just to make that clear.

>>91819

I voted in the Texas Primary for Obama at 8:00am, that same day I voted in the Texas Caucus and had to wait from 7:15 to 2:00am the next day to fo so. I also got elected as a precient captain of the democratic party in the process. I volenteered countless hours to the Obama campaign in the state of my college residence Pennsylvania a "battle ground state". Pasty voted for him in the general election

But even I know CNN is bais bullshit Obama love fest. I didn't put this much effort into a campaign to not hold the guy accountable to the shit he fails to accomplish.

>>91841

Oh god this country is going to shit. Republifags seem to make the critical error of thinking that because independent voters are fucking RAGING at the Democrats that suddenly the Republicans are popular again. They can be, if they play their cards right and play to what the voters are calling for, but people are going to have a very hard time forgetting what the country was like for 8 years under Bush.

On the same note, I've heard some retarded comments from Democrats concerning what Obama should do after Scott Brown kicked ass in Massachusetts. Several editorials I read advised Obama to move even further to the left. What the hell? So independent voters fucking slaughter the idea of Obamacare and every other part of Obama's left leaning agenda in the Massachusetts election, and thus its a good idea to move even FURTHER left? Wow, just wow.

>>91842

Fuck you.

>>91857

As are you good sir, supporting people with your tax money for welfare.

Cable news is irrelevant now that single people and programs can exercise more influence than entire networks.

How many government officials has Glenn Beck retired now?

>>91861
>Republifags seem to make the critical error

There is no critical error, Republicans are up over Democrats in generic and specific ballots all over the nation, even Barbara Boxer in California is running scared, Obama's former seat has a high chance of going Republican, they're up in nationwide favorability polls, they are about to take potentially 70 to 150 seats in the HOUSE, that's not just a landslide, that's a slaughter

There is no critical error there however I do agree with
>play to what the voters are calling for

However, people HAVE already forgotten whatever it was you think was bad under Bush, for the most part. Even BUSH is up as someone people would want back over Obama at this point in the polls. Pretty telling.

And what happened in Mass is what happened in 06 and 08 in reverse, why you think after just watching it happen for the Dems for two elections, then watched it occur for Republicans in Mass, you think it isn't about to keep happening for Republicans this year I'll never know.

>>91880

What I meant by critical error was that some Republicans assume that the fact that the Democrats are poised to get assraped this coming election automatically means that the GOP is back in high favor. This is not necessarily true. What is telling, however is that 1. the Democrats fucked up and the majority of voters are pissed off enough at Obama/Pelosi/Reid to vote Republican and that 2. you know, it took the country 4 fucking years to vote out the Republicans in congress, and one year into the Obama presidency the Dems are about to be slaughtered. Interesting... How did they fuck this up? Everyone hated Bush! Fuck, they had a free ride, a super-fucking-majority in both Houses. They had the Executive... and they still didn't get anything done. What the fuck?

>>91912

Also, I hope Republicans take this lesson well, that they have a golden opportunity here and they should be wary of the fact that they could fuck it up reaaalllly easy. Like the Democrats did.

>>91919
They'll fuck it up

They're politicians

They don't really have a choice

That I can agree with you.

Dear people of America,

Stop watching the news. They're running out of good things to say about me.

Sincerely,
Barack Obama.

Good news comes from the internet. You just have to make sure it's legit.

I haven't watched television consistently in a good 3 years. I'm definitely a better person for it.

Sooo if I'm not getting my news from the news agencies... where the fuck can I go to find out what's going on? Who/where are these "folks" I can just go talk to?

Feh i stick to indepandent news sources along with the newspaper

Course remeber to check your facts just cuz one site says it doesnt mean its so

Baaaw all you want Obama. FOX is laughing all the way to the bank.
