Wow, reading comprehension much guys?
He's saying that with all the made up stuff posted on the internet, information is no longer about fact, but about entertainment and the story about the story.
Therefore this crap is a distraction from the actual truth.
Jesus, how about you step back and read the whole thing instead of immediately jumping to "OMG BAD PRESIDENT"

Jeez...
Video games absolutely are a distraction. So is TV, movies, and the computer, if you let it.
What he said is true. Stop it with the reflexive defenses from the perceived attack on your livelihoods. Maybe you should think about the facts for once... oh wait, I think you just proved his point.

This administration has repeatedly attacked anyone and anything that doesn't fall into line with their ideology. Never once has there ever been such a blatant attempt to move people away from their own thoughts and beliefs and into those who are in power. This is merely a litmus test to see if they can get away with a Fairness Doctrine that forces broadcasters to offer equal time to opposing views, which the Supreme Court deemed unconstitutional in '87. They refuse to believe that intelligent, thoughtful individuals could actually have an opposing viewpoint, and therefore it must be from failure of media to adequately propagandize for them.

Actually I agree more so with a4mula than your statement. Yes there are a lot of phoney stories out there. However I see this as a move by the administration being able to denounce all opposing media outlets unless it's certified by them. Would it go to the extent of the "Fairness Doctrine"? Possibly. However it could go the way of the sheep believing everything the gov't has to say and stop listening to honest bloggers. Bloggers that report the stories where the main stream media reports what the Administration wants.
Don't forget this is the same president that used in game advertisement to get where he is today and now he's stating that the same outlet of information is a distraction. Nor does he even mention Hollywood and it's films with its liberal slant on most things (most not all). Films and tv shows are distractions from everyday life with obvious fabrication to make stories. Some times the local news falls into the same category. But does he mention anything about that? Nope because they're in his pocket for the most part and he want's you to TRUST them.
Bottom line.. find your creditable news source or sources.. cross reference them from foreign and domestic stories. The last person you want to trust is the person that says "trust me". Unless of course you're about to fall to your deathand they're reaching out a hand... because honestly what do you have to lose at that point? HA!!

Once again, a comment from somebody who admits that he doesn't even know how to work one of these devices. It's funny that whenever somebody criticizes video games, it's always some older person who never plays games. Until they actually are FAMILIAR with what they are criticizing, then they should keep their opinions to themselves.

Read the whole speech. He talks about the amount the misinformation out there and that all of it because a distraction from the actual truth. He then says that education will help filter through the bs out there and get to the truth.
It was a speech at a university. He was saying that having a bit of knowledge will allow you to see through the lies posted on these moronic blogs. Because a lot of idiotic people take what they see on some random blog as fact.

On a serious note, it's deliciously ironic in a self-fulfilling prophecy kind of way that people are reading one or two lines from the speech and jumping to conclusions about what the President's message was instead of reading the entire story and getting a firm grasp of the speech, which is about the importance of having an educated population in the information age as well as the challenges that African-Americans face in obtaining that kind of education (he was speaking at Hampton U, a historically black college).
But of course, he mentions Apple and the iPod and that becomes the headline -- obviously it would here at Tom's and other tech sites, but nationwide in general news outlets, all we're hearing is noise about how Obama hates the Xbox instead of getting message that for developed nations, American students currently rank 10th in 8th grade math and science, and that African-American students rank 20th in the same category, lower than nearly every other developed nation. I'm guessing that's a more important point than Obama stating video games are -- duh -- a distraction.
