Barack Obama Shows What Fox News Destroyed In American Politics
The conservative network started the trend and it's been turbocharged by social media, the former president told "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah.

Barack Obama reflected Thursday on what he could do when running for the U.S. Senate in Illinois in the early 2000s that he most likely couldn’t do now — because of Fox News and social media.
In an interview with “The Daily Show,” the former president recalled campaigning in rural, mainly conservative areas and still connecting with voters on a personal level, even though they were skeptical of his progressive ideas.
“There wasn’t the filter that has been created by Fox News or the media infrastructure, the right-wing conspiracy theory folks, and so they came at me with an open mind,” he told host Trevor Noah.
“I could listen to them and they could listen to me and at the end of the day, they might say, ‘Well he’s a little liberal for our taste, but we have something in common,’ ― like the love they have for their children,” Obama continued. “There was some sense of connection.”
Just think, at one time the black Obama was able to connect well enough with the systemically racist country, the US of A, to get elected..........twice
But alas, Fox news destroyed it all
Who knew?
I think Orange man should at least been blamed instead.
Besides, January 6th.
