Obama adviser says People magazine ‘equally important’ as national news media outlets

To a huge portion of his base, Oprah, Entertainment
Tonight, and The View, are their source for "news", and the "truth".

I don't ever recall another president talking to entertainment tonight and people magazine as much as this guy. And just skips news outlets.

My mom reads People Magazine all the time. Well anyways she used to. She didn't understand when I tried to tell her that it wasn't an important newsmedia outlet. She thought it was the real thing.

My mom is the same way. She thinks it is the news and it is not. I think she knows more about hollywood than whats goin on in the world sadly

Give him a break. He feels more comfortable hanging around the hollywood crowd. Bisectuals like to be around their own.

He's too worried about being "cool" to bother with anything important. I hope he enjoys his goodbye tour.

Bisexuals is what you mean.

Do you know why?

It's because you can buy the front page and cover stories in People magazine

Same with Entertainment Today

I worked in film promotion for many years, and although its not as if there is a number on the masthead where you can call to buy the cover, everyone knows you can do it

All it takes is $$$

Politicos often buy the front page of these magazines, fwiw

Back after Lady Diana died, the Crown went on a spree buying all of these mags to attempt to rehabilitate Camilla and Charles with sympathetic articles and basically PR disguised as reporting

There is MUCH more of this going on than most people realize

He is enjoying it right now. The tour has been going on for over 2 years. This joke of a president has been campaigning and golfing more than running the country

typical of malignant narcissists, he doesnt DO unfavourable venues.

You know all the literary suckspittles and lickspittles write for fanzines

Well,if THAT doesn't tell ya something about the sorry-ass state of this Country,nothing will.
Talk about a dis-connect.

He sunk in the knife and lit all the fuse,
and now he lies and makes entertainment news...

NEWSWEEK COVER: Obama Must Go!

[link to www.businessinsider.com]

"PEOPLE" is written to a THIRD GRADE READING LEVEL! What the hell are his idiots in the administration thinking? Oh, I forgot. Thinking is NOT their long suit. In fact, it's something most of them are totally incapable of doing without substantial help.

Only an idiot surrounds himself with those who agree with him about everything all the time. I think Obama is qualified and fits that criteria quite accurately!

I voted for him in 2008 but I can tell you that I'd even vote for a friggin' republican before I'd vote for Obama again.

yeah we've got some lib asshole at work that brings in Newsweek and People for the mens' bathrooms. I think he's the only person keeping them in business. The absolute rubbish they publish - and are still publishing - after all these years, is mind boggling. I'd like to see them both go extinct.

Maybe when he gets smoked in the election he can have a bisexual reality show on the logo channel

THE O WORD!

What he thinks he is communicating: these media matter just like major news media.

What we hear: major news media is as irrelevant and full of fluff and propaganda as this crap.

Yeah hearing was interviewed by ET was priceless...I heard the WHouse also said that no questions will be allowed in the debates regarding the Simpson Bowles commission...fluff and puff...

I find this insulting that the president of the united states think we all have the same miniscule IQ as he does and only look at the pretty pictures.

That is because that is all he is capable of. Lesson to America, do not hire a boy to do a man's job.

or prepay a basketball american to work unsupervised

HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED ....... ALL OUR DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTS ARE MUCH BETTER LOOKING THAN THE REPUBLICAN ....ANYONE ???

When is Obama going to do the National Enquirer?

can you possibly be more superficial?

No, no you cannot

git

Im sorry but this is not a sleep over with your 10 year old friens. Nor is this housewives of orange county. Go read a book or something till the grown ups get done discussing your man crush

Ignoranus: A person who is both stupid and an asshole.

PRESIDENT OBAMA IS A GOOD LOOKING ,CHARMING MAN ,AND IN OUR HOLLYWOOD CULTURE ,PEOPLE LOVE ,TO LOVE THE WINNERS............................... I ALMOST FORGOT SMART.... SMART IS A GOOD THING AS WELL.
