Obama - Too Much Media Is Ruining Our Democracy

Imagine that....too much information out there.

"Meanwhile, you're coming of age in a 24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of arguments, some of which don't rank all that high on the truth meter. With iPods and iPads; Xboxes and PlayStations; information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment. All of this is not only putting new pressures on you; it is putting new pressures on our country and on our democracy."

This 0bama guy is sounding more like a dictator with every new speech.

Worst president ever.

@luckitz So who decides what information is anti-democratic. Him and his Pravda media of CNN, MSNBC, etc.? I don't think so. He's upset because information that he would like to hide is getting out there anyway and can't stop it.

I bet his merry band of thugs is looking into regulating it though. Keep your eyes open everyone and stay frosty!

Yeah, that pesky information is putting too much pressure on the lying, thieving scumbags who want to hide the fact that they are enslaving you while stealing your children's future.

Can't have that. Better stop all of that information getting out. Time to repeal the First Amendment then.

why did you erace my coment do the reserch you will see im right with facts

[fletch42]

You people are dipsh*ts. He didn't say too much media is ruining democracy. He said that there's a lot information out there, more than ever, and more that isn't truthful than ever...that people buy into lies because they're entertaining (yes, I'm looking at you FOX). Try to live for just a few minutes every day in reality guys. It's not that hard.

Sounds like he knows what he is talking about. It was after all BS in the mainstream media that got his sorry butt elected or covered up the"selection process that put him there. Like all liberals he just can't handle the fact that there are other points of view in America and he would love to shut them down and shut them up. Didn't he raise something like 365 million campaign dollars using the infamous media monster, the internet? Doesn't he still use media to badmouth and blame George Bush?

[granniefromky]

Hey, starman, you left out "epansipation".

[footpedalscott]

In other words, conservative media is a distraction. "Doesn't rank all that high on the truth meter." Ever heard of freedom of the press? Obama, get the HELL out of our country!

[reallysecretusername]

@luckitz The "State" has an obligation to keep me safe. Beyond that the "State" should back off and leave free people to Pursue their individual Happiness. Got it, don't believe you do!
