President Biden on Wednesday bemoaned the partisan divide currently playing out on cable news channels across the country and predicted a drop in ratings in the coming years.
"One of the things I find fascinating is happening and you all deal with it every day and it will impact on how things move is that a lot of the speculation and the polling data shows that the cables are heading south," Biden said during a press conference from the White House. "They're losing viewership."
Biden called out Fox News specifically saying the conservative news network was "okay for awhile but it's not granted and a lot of the rest are predicted to be not in the mix in the next four our five years."
Biden added that many cable news viewers have "put themselves in certain alleys" and observed that the vast majority of the media-consuming public seeks out news sources that reaffirm their political worldviews.
