Obama spoke with "CBS Mornings" co-host Nate Burleson and said it concerns him that Americans are having trouble agreeing on basic facts — that "we almost occupy different realities."
"The thing that I'm most worried about is the degree to which we now have a divided conversation, in part because we have a divided media, a splintered media," Obama said.
He noted that when he was growing up, "you had three TV stations ... and people were getting a similar sense of what is true and what isn't, what was real and what was not."
