Presidents and Their TV Preferences

Yesterday the New York Times printed an unflattering, 4,300-word profile of U.S. President Donald Trump’s love for cable news television, tweeting and desert. The Times insists that this president only has the attention span of a “jack-rabbit.” So he’s forced to rely mainly on verbal meetings and Fox News to get most of his information. Of course, when Barack Obama watched television—and he watched a lot—it was always a much-needed break from a long, grueling day at the Oval Office. Trump does it because he’s shallow. That’s how the Times sees it. On today’s program, we look at the TV-viewing preferences of the past two U.S. presidents—as well as the other important stories of the day.
