President Barack Obama criticized the media Tuesday for letting its fascination with “shiny objects” distract from more important issues.
“Some get on my nerves more than others,” the president said during an appearance on “The Daily Show,” his last with Jon Stewart as host.
“What I’m most concerned about is not that it’s unfair or too tough on government … but that it gets distracted to shiny objects and doesn’t always focus on the big tough choices and decisions,” Obama said.
