    SERIOUSLY?!!! Obama Blames Dem Losses on 'Fox News in Every Bar and Restaurant'

    President Barack Obama has lashed out at Fox News at various times during his presidency and it's continuing in the final weeks of his time in office.

    In an interview with Rolling Stone, Obama was asked if he still believes the U.S. is a "progressive country" following the election of Donald Trump as the 45th president.

    He pointed to Democrats' failure to reach working-class white voters, as he did in 2008 and 2012.

    He said:

    In this election, [they] turned out in huge numbers for Trump. And I think that part of it has to do with our inability, our failure, to reach those voters effectively. Part of it is Fox News in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country, but part of it is also Democrats not working at a grassroots level, being in there, showing up, making arguments. That part of the critique of the Democratic Party is accurate. We spend a lot of time focused on international policy and national policy and less time being on the ground. And when we're on the ground, we do well. This is why I won Iowa.
    It comes after Obama, in a sit-down with Bill Maher before the election, said that "if I watched Fox News, I wouldn't vote for me either."

    Reacting this morning on "Fox & Friends," Herman Cain said it's "sad" that Obama doesn't want the American people to know the truth, criticizing the president for repeatedly trying to convince people not to watch Fox News.

    Watch the full report above from James Rosen, who earlier this year called out the State Department for having edited out one of his questions from a 2013 briefing video.

    If Trump had said this about CNN it would be front page on CNN's website. I couldn't find this story anywhere there on the front page. Of course when Trump has said something about CNN, it's front and center on their web page. Trump would be ridiculed by CNN, but no story at all on CNN about this about Obama.

    We eat at a Mexican fast food eatery once a week. They have "all Fox News all the time"! Since we don't have pay tv, we enjoy watching it there.

    BTW, I notice the CNN website is barely mentioning the "recount" now.

    It would be best to not call attention to their ignorance. If they keep it up, they won't be bothering us for at least 16 more years.

    Let them blame FOX news, encourage it.

    So the Mexicans don't feel threatened by FOX huh? :)

    I have to say most of the places that have TV that I see have CNN.

    Fox News Channel Scores Most-Watched Month in 4 Years
    Election insanity pays dividends for cable news — again

    November was a great month for Republicans — it was equally successful for the rightest-leaning cable news channel.

    Today, Fox News is buttoning up its top month in four years — since the last election — in terms of primetime total viewers. November 2016 is FNC's second-highest-rated month as far as total day tune-in goes.

    It's now 179 months straight that Fox News Channel can claim cable news' top spot when ranking respective overall audiences. The net has even been No. 1 across all of basic cable for 14 straight weeks, and for sixth months of the year thus far....


    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)
