President Obama reportedly told a group of news columnists this week that he does not watch enough cable news to grasp terrorism fears in the country following terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California.
The characterization of Obama's comments was included in an article from Friday's issue of theNew York Timesand has since been edited out of the piece without correction, Mediaite first reported. Several journalists also drew attention to the excerpt on social media before its removal.

"In his meeting with the columnists, Mr. Obama indicated that he did not see enough cable television to fully appreciate the anxiety after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and made clear that he plans to step up his public arguments," the Times piece read.
The article outlined a meeting, originally meant to be off the record, that Obama held with a group of columnists Tuesday during which he defended his response to the terror attacks. Obama saw his career-worst rating on terrorism following the coordinated shootings and suicide bombings in Paris that killed 130 people, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll released last month.
Following the attacks in San Bernardino that killed 14, Americans now rate terrorism as the top problem facing the United States, according to Gallup data published earlier this week.
The Obama administration has responded to several national crises, such as the Department of Veterans' Affairs fake waitlist scandal last year, by indicating that the president learned of the controversy through news reports.

And, of course, he skips all his intel briefings...so.
Too lazy to learn how to navigate with a TV remote leaves Obama stuck on pbs.
D’oh! You took it right off my typing fingers.
I was going to say, he completely ignores his PDB’s.
Only a MUSLIM would mock the American people like this. He’s implying Americans are afraid just because Fox is sensationalizing the terrorism threat. He can go F himself to hell.
And this is a President? Damn rotten Democrats. These fools have destroyed America. No coming back, we will never recover.
SO what makes him think Americans want “gun control?”
Yet he has had time to visit with at least a 1000 CEO’s on a daily basis.
Priorities after all. Destroy Christian American to her knees and make sure he and his ilk will have billions to live on the rest of their lives. Heck buy some islands, won’t be able to live here we will be on fire.
As others have noted:
We’re not afraid. We’re ticked off that we have a government that is on the other side.
He really despises us, doesn’t he?
So rather than admit he’s one clueless bastard, he infers that watching cable news is not good for you, because it instills unreasonable fears of non-existent threats.
1. He is clueless
2. He’s an insufferable jerk
3. He’s incapable of grasping issues over that of a 9 year old’s level of perception
4. He refuses to bring himself up to speed on the threat of terror
5. He exposes the United States to massive destruction
6. If 1-5 are false, then he’s a terrorist
So...where does he get all of his other garbage? You know, global warming info, gun control polls, and celebrity gossip?
F U B O !
He learns everything he knows from the media, but he doesn’t watch the media. Thus, he knows nothing.
Exactly...we are very ticked off.
Great talker. Great liar.
Or rather still figuring the NCAA bracketology channel.
Then, why is he always hammering Fox News? (Fox News has become his friend) Ignorant bastard!
0bama spends his time watching ESPN while he is working out in the gym.
