    The media-voting-for-him joke was intended, I think, as a jab at suspicions that the “mainstream media” is in fact the “liberal media” which was biased in Obama’s favor during the election. Not the same as self-congratulation.Report

      Josh,

      Yeah I think you’re right about the intention of the joke. But the reaction from the crowd (to me) suggested that they didn’t really get it as joke so much as adulation. He did however get a good dig in with his apology/calling out of the Fox News Table.Report
