White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters Friday that President Obama did not watch any of the Republican National Convention coverage last night. “The only thing I would read into that is what I have been saying for the last several days that the president tends to consume his news the old-fashioned way, via print,” Carney explained. “And by that he means no disrespect to the professionals in the broadcast media business. But he’s certainly aware of in general terms what was said.”
