Barack Obama says presidents shouldn’t watch TV or read social media. The former president spoke Wednesday at a technology conference in San Francisco. He said presidents should avoid TV and social media because it “clouds your judgment” and “creates a lot of noise.” Obama said presidents have to have confidence that whatever data is out there has been sifted and sorted, “and that requires not just a good process but making sure you have a team that’s got a diversity of opinion.” He also said social media has accelerated the rise of division and has made people more tribal, more polarized and less willing to listen to each other.
