Id love to hear a reporter ask that they never had this problem while ocovering the last 8 years of the obama presidency, so why is this an issue with the trump presidency…

Default position from the point of view of the media and public should be that everything said is a lie and it is up to the Trumpkins to convince us otherwise. That will save a lot of time and angst.

Just doing a Google, 32 million watched on TV/Cable (Neilson). Can some tech savvy type provide any numbers for streaming views. Regan had 42 million and that was before cable.

ā€œThat doesn’t mean that you were intentionally trying to deceive readers and the American people, does it? And I think we should be afforded the same opportunity,ā€ he said. ā€œThere are times when we believe something to be true or we get something from an agency or we act in haste because the information available wasn’t complete.ā€

Wait a minute, did he just take the Obama Administration’s side in the dust-up over who said what after Benghazi?

ā€œThere is an attempt to go after this president and say, well that can’t be true,ā€ Spicer lamented. ā€œThere’s a rush to judgement every time.ā€

So far it’s proven to be the correct course of action. You literally lied about crowd size the other day and now you’re lying about lying about it, so, yes, we should assume everything you say is untrue.

Or why that is only half that of the Canadian man-child Justin Beiber?

Something tells me Sean’s past girlfriends always believed in different ā€œfactsā€ about the length (and girth) of Sean’s little Sean than did Sean the Bigger. He’s a bit touchy about ā€œfactsā€ and numbers.

Life was probably easier when burning bushes clued you in on the issues of the day.

LOL – that would be funny, but I’m sure the reporter would be barred from WH press conferences henceforth. Unless someone is about to retire, I can’t imagine they’d risk it … too bad, though, because it would be a beautiful site watching SpiceBoy’s face get red-hot in an instant.

The lies will always keep on. Now he wants to count the internet numbers. If you add all of that stuff in than it may be true given passing looks and such, but that is not the point that was originally made. The case was made that it was most widely attended in person and numerous lies were told.

The issue is not really that there were falsehoods per se, although a problem, but if he willing to lie about small things that can be easily proven wrong than what about things that cannot be? It is hard to trust a person like this. Everybody in this administration takes everything personally and has the thinnest skin possible. Making a personal fight helps brush things aside so the issues never get addressed.

LOL…the assholes who jumped to conclusions over Benghazi asking for the Nation’s understanding on the first day of the Trump Clusterfuck Administration and in the future when they fly off the handle and insist that their inaugural was the most watched ever. If you count all the tablets and iPhones. And Facebook.

A thing that sounds like hyperbole but is the literal truth. We’re going to be saying a lot of things like that over the next several however many months, methinks.
