ICYMI: Obama Says Fox Viewers 'Living on a Different Planet'
To
the millions of Fox News viewers across the country, former President
Obama has a message for you: you’re “living on a different
planet” than the rest of Americans who tune into mainstream media.
The
44th president made the remark during an appearance on the premiere
of Netflix’s new series, “My next guest needs no introduction
with David Letterman.”
The
comedian asked Obama which he believed was more dangerous to
democracy, a president’s demeaning behavior toward the press or a
foreign country meddling in U.S. elections. Both questions were quite
obviously directed at President Trump.
“One
of the biggest challenges we have to our democracy is the degree to
which we don’t share a common baseline of facts. What the Russians
exploited–but it was already here–is we are operating in
completely different universes. If you watch Fox News, you are living
on a different planet than you are if you, you know, listen to NPR.”
The
jab at Fox News is nothing new for Obama, who repeatedly
criticized the
network in the past, saying, for example, that the network is
“destructive” to the long-term growth of America and claiming the
station was “entirely devoted to attacking my administration.”
He
also once complained about his polling numbers thanks to the
network.
“I
am convinced that if there were no Fox News, I might be two or three
points higher in the polls,” Obama told a New
York Times Magazine journalist.
“[T]he way I’m portrayed 24/7 is as a freak! I am the
latté-sipping, New
York Times-reading,
Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant
liberal. Who wants somebody like that?”
His
latest comment, however, is the first swipe he’s taken at Fox News
since leaving office.
Letterman
will interview George Clooney, Malala Yousafzai, Jay-Z, Tina Fey, and
Howard Stern over the next five months as part of his six-show series
on Netflix.

My comments: Obama is right, Fox viewers do live on a 'Different Plant' than he and his LEFTIST sycophants. Fox viewers typically want to maintain America as Founded--On e Nation, Under God, with Liberty and Justice for ALL, and Abhor the godless, Socialist, Secular Humanist RELIGION Obama espouses.
