Todd: Obama 'hates' new media

Feeling's mutual. Though I think most of us could have gathered that through his Senate's readiness to impose internet taxes...ugh.

But last night, NBC's Chuck Todd revealed an inconvenient truth about his President's view of new media...

"The rise of the internet media and social media and all that stuff - he hates it. Okay? He hates this part of the media. He really thinks that the sort of the buzzification – this isn’t just about Buzzfeed or Politico and all this stuff - he thinks that sort of coverage of political media has hurt political discourse. He hates it."

NewsBusters: Todd was likely quite correct, but chose not to disclose why Obama hates new media. It's because most of it isn't in the tank for this President and can't be controlled by him.

That's obviously not true of folks such as Todd and his colleagues in the old media who echo the current White House resident's talking points, mercilessly attack his opponents, and cover for his missteps.

It's therefore no wonder the President hates "the rise of the internet media and social media," and although Todd is very active on Twitter, one thinks he also hates this rise because it's making him and his colleagues less relevant.

So much truth in those three little sentences...provided to you via the new media!
