Obama takes a swipe at social media firms for undermining democracy as he claims 40% of the country think Joe Biden was elected fraudulently and similar amount don't believe in vaccines
President Barack Obama criticized social media outlets for filling what he calls a 'demand for crazy' and spreading disinformation in a way that he said he's underestimated.
Obama, 60, spoke with Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg Wednesday at an event hosted by the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics and The Atlantic.
'I do think that there is a demand for crazy on the internet that we have to grapple with,' Obama said.
While praising how easily available information had become in the United States, he did say it led people to mass belief of conspiracy theories.
'Roughly 40 percent of the country appears convinced that the current president was elected fraudulently and that the election was rigged' he noted, with about 30-35 percent not taking advantage of vaccines for Covid-19, which he called a 'medical miracle' that had been clinically tested out by a billion people.

Fox that bit nine people on Capitol Hill including a Congressman tests positive for RABIES after being euthanized as DC Health officials discover her litter of babies
A fox that bit nine people on Capitol Hill has been euthanized
DC Health officials said the animal tested positive for rabies
The vixen, which has been nicknamed Capitol Hill Fox, was captured on Tuesday
Authorities captured her kits on Wednesday morning but have not yet decided what to do with them
The attacks prompted a warning from Capitol police, noting that more foxes may be roaming the DC area: 'Please do not approach any fox you see'
A parody Twitter account has also been created in the creature's honor
Authorities captured the fox's kits - or babies - earlier Wednesday morning but have not yet decided what to do with them.
Representative Ami Bera (D-Calif.) was among those attacked by the wild fox on Monday night. The vixen bit him in an 'unprovoked' attack near the Russell Senate Office Building.
'I didn't see it and all of a sudden I felt something lunge at the back of my leg,' Bera told the New York Times.
The congressman was taken to nearby Walter Reed National Military Medical Center at the recommendation of the attending physician of Congress where he received treatment for tetanus and rabies.
Bera's spokesperson said the lawmaker received seven shots in total, noting he received 'one in both buttocks.' He will receive three additional shots for rabies in the coming days.
'I feel healthy and am glad to be back at work,' Bera tweeted Wednesday. 'Despite the dustup, I hold no grudge or ill will against @thecapitolfox. Hoping the [fox] and its family are safely relocated and wishing it a happy and prosperous future.'
His spokesperson added that Bera, a doctor himself, 'encourages everyone to stay vigilant around wild animals and to speak with their physician if they get bitten'.
Politico reporter Ximena Bustillo also detailed a vixen attack, alleging the vixen nipped her from behind Tuesday.
'That feel when you get bit by a fox leaving Capitol cause that's of course something I expect in THE MIDDLE OF DC,' she wrote on Twitter. 'I didn’t even see it.'
She added: 'I’m from Idaho, I know to not try and pet it!'

Trump & Fox are desperately spinning up a fake scandal to distract from his real ones. So it's a day that ends in Y.
The more his misdeeds are exposed, the more they lie.
For those interested in reality, here's a good debunking of their latest nonsense.

Judge dismisses Trump's request for recusal from Hillary Clinton RICO lawsuit, says the cases cited in Trump's motion 'do not appear to support his arguments'
ssheth@businessinsider.com (Sonam Sheth) - Yesterday 9:04 PM
A Bill Clinton-appointed judge rejected Trump's request that he recuse himself from Trump's RICO case against Hillary Clinton.
Judge Donald Middlebrooks ruled that to warrant recusal, "more must be involved than solely my appointment to the bench" 25 years ago "by the spouse of a litigant now before me."
Middlebrooks also pointed out that 3 cases cited in Trump's motion for recusal "do not appear to support his arguments."
A federal judge on Wednesday rejected former President Donald Trump's request that he recuse himself from overseeing Trump's sweeping lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, people linked to her campaign, and former FBI and DOJ officials.
Trump's lawyers said in their motion for recusal that US District Judge Donald Middlebrooks should step aside because he was appointed to the federal bench by then-President Bill Clinton.
"Due to the fact that Judge Middlebrooks has a relationship to the Defendant, HILLARY CLINTON's husband, by way of his nomination as Judge to this Court, this amounts to prejudice so virulent or pervasive as to constitute bias against a party," their filing said.
Middlebrooks in his Wednesday ruling acknowledged that Bill Clinton appointed him to the court. "Although former President Clinton is not a party to this lawsuit, I will give Plaintiff the benefit of the doubt and equate the interests of the Clintons for the sake of analysis here," the filing said.
Even so, the judge found that Trump's argument doesn't hold water, writing that "to warrant recusal, something more must be involved than solely my appointment to the bench twenty-five years ago by the spouse of a litigant now before me."
He also pointed out that the three cases that were cited in Trump's motion for recusal "compel no different conclusion, and indeed do not appear to support his arguments."
In an accompanying footnote, Middlebrooks said that in the first case, Hamm v. Members of Board of Regents of Florida, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals "held that a district court judge did not exhibit bias sufficient to warrant recusal based on certain statements he made at trial."
