As Twitchy reported, since he’s apparently got nothing else to do, President Obama headed off to the bright, shiny lights of New York City for a fundraiser and a “Daily Show” hit. That’s where he unloaded to Jon Stewart about the media:
Obama tells Stewart it's "tough to get everyone [in media] focused the same way," per pool report.

"The media are a bunch of different medias," says Pres Obama on The Daily Show. "Some get on my nerves more than others."

@markknoller @POTUS And I suppose getting distracted by golf balls and celebs is any better? They willingly do his bidding, why complain?
