Obama: I Don’t Watch Much News, ‘Whatever They’re Reporting About, Usually I Know’

Boy thats funny cause everytime there is a scandal so far the whitehouse has claimed they first saw it on the news.

Obama: I Don’t Watch Much News, ‘Whatever They’re Reporting About, Usually I Know’

President Obama spoke at a fundraiser in Seattle tonight, and one of the issues he touched upon was cynicism. Specifically, how the media plays into people’s cynicism. And the president said that he doesn’t watch the news that much because he generally knows what they’re talking about already.

POLITICO reports that Obama said he’s fighting however he can to combat cynicism from becoming a dominant theme in the upcoming midterm elections. And when the president brought up the media as partly to blame, he remarked, “Whatever they’re reporting about, usually I know.”

If that line strikes you as odd, it’s probably because a number of times, in reaction to a variety of different scandals, the president or people speaking for him said he learned about these scandals in the news.
