cable chatter

"They did not send us here to get bogged down with the same old delay, the same old distractions, the same talking points, the same cable chatter," he said. "They did not vote for the false theories of the past, and they didn't vote for phony arguments and petty politics, and they did not vote for the status quo."

These words are from Pres Obama. Could you please tell me what is cable chatter? Thank you very much.

The sort of chatter that may be heard on cable news networks.
