Obama Complains Internet Allowed Conservatives to Escape Liberal Media Monopoly
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/27/2017 5:11:40 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Interviewed by Prince Harry on BBC radio, Barack Obama blathered on about the internet in ways likely to warm liberal cockles.

Obama’s comments reflect his statist impulses. And they ultimately amount to a complaint that the internet has permitted conservatives to break out of the stranglehold that the liberal media used to exercise over the flow of information.

Obama sees internet as a “danger.” He’d prefer the good old days when the likes of Walter Cronkite and the New York Times controlled the flow of information.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Add me to your list, please.

Interesting libs are celebrating The Post - a film about a leaker.

Obama’s prosecuted more whistleblowers than any previous president. A leaker for the DNC was spun by the msm as a “arussian hacker” and threat to our democracy.

They pick and choose to celebrate the First Alebdment when convenient.

Did Prince Harry wear his Nazi uniform during the interview?

OBAMA:"...people can have entirely different realities. They can be cocooned in information that reinforces their current biases..."

We call that "LIBERALISM".

We call your commentary "PROJECTION".

Right. And bammy would totally suppress the remaining freedom of expression that we have.

Have no fear, bammy, your sycophants in the media and at facebook/twatter/google are already enforcing government control of speech.

Now that Obama no longer has the power to harass those who disagree with him, he’s become America’s badwill ambassador, going around the world to badmouth the U.S. and its President, just like Jimmah Carter has done for decades.

Since Obama is pro-Muslim, expect him to make the Middle East his hangout while abroad. He hates Netanyahu and Jews. Would be fun to watch Bibi deny him entry to Israel.
