PRESIDENT OBAMA AT COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS AT HAMPTON UNIVERSITY:
"You're coming of age in a 24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of arguments, some of which don't always rank that high on the truth meter.... And with iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations ... information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation."
Translation: “I can’t control all this new media – yet – and it will distract you from my message.”

UPDATE: Kill the messenger.
