Chuck Todd weighed in on President Obama’s remarks from the 2013 White House Correspondents’ Dinner during Sunday’s “Meet The Press,” and seemed to take part of the president’s speech to heart.
“He wasn’t very complimentary of the press,” Todd said of Obama’s comments at the end of his speech. “There’s always this part at the end … and it’s usually the part where the presidents say, ‘You know I think that the press has a job to do and I understand what they have to do.’ He didn’t say that,” Todd said.
He continued, “I thought his potshots — joke-wise and then serious stuff — about the Internet and the rise … of social media. He hates it, okay? He hates this part of the media, and he really thinks that this sort of buzzification — this isn’t just about BuzzFeed or Politico … but he thinks that this sort of coverage of political media has hurt political discourse. He hates it. And I just think he was trying to make that clear last night.”
Ok, Chuck. If thatt makes you feel better.
