Sean Spicer off to a good start

[blue32]

Clinton lied as Secy of State and her whole campaign. As the facts came out about her illegal email server that proved her recent statements we outright lies, she told a new one. The administration lied about benghazi, NSA spying, giving weapons to mexican gangs, etc.

But let's quibble over crowd size.

It's not even funny.

I'm sure we'll get another 40 twitters from Rasta on it. I also believe Trump just gave most (all?) uninsured American's a 700 dollar tax break immediately with the EO on Obamacare..... silence...

There shouldn't be quibbling over crowd size. It's trivial, but Mr. Spicer basically scolded the press in a meltdown mostly full of lies and then left without taking questions. Do you think that's normal?

He's right to scold the press. They have an agenda that isn't about accuracy or ethical journalism, or even integrity.

Posted elsewhere, still spot on.

Then why the makeup sex today?

The press did not pick the fight over crowd size. Trump and Spicer picked that fight.

And the press was correct on the subject; Trump & Spicer were incorrect.

App reviews are now evidence. Also, you ever hear about picking your battles? Why start a war over crowd size?

When your enemies are falling on their own swords, no need to get involved. Just sit back and watch.

I'm talking about the press destroying their own credibility.

Sure they did. There were stories all over the news and WWW about the crowd size.

App reviews are human beings making comments on CNN's content. Spot on, too.

You honestly can't be serious...... They said nothing about sizes yet like clockwork the press throws up a bunch of disparaging shit up on their sites; THEN the administration called foul.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Wahhh! More people went to my party then you said! Wahhhh! It was a good party too! Wahhhh! Even 3 Doors Down Played!

You think that the size of the crowd at an inauguration is not newsworthy and should not be reported?

CNN tv ratings in free fall. Fox news triple CNN and MSNBC combined.

http://www.politico.com/media/story...s-channels-a-year-for-the-record-books-004902

For much of the year, CNN seemed to have a fighting chance of catching Fox News in the core 25-54 demo, with the channel often topping Fox many nights during the heat of the campaign. Trump’s election, however, ended that momentum as viewership began to trail off in the days following Nov. 8.

The same could not be said for Fox News. As the AP’s David Bauder wrote, Fox News ratings declined only eight percent in the five weeks following the election, when compared with the peak of the campaign in October. In that same period, CNN saw a 51 percent drop, while MSNBC ratings dropped 41 percent. Fox’s comparably stable ratings ensured that the channel would have sole control of first place among cable news channels come the year’s end.

If it was one time, I'd agree with you. But the press has a narrative and pattern at disparaging and/or trying to delegitimize Trump. So he spoke on it, and clarified that in todays briefing.

If the media is reporting 200,000 showed up, who lied first?

I watched the entire thing from 10AM to 6PM. It was not reported accurately. The picture they used to do the comparison was a picture of the place before the speech.

Like I said I don't really care about the crowd size. I just thought Spicer's behavior this weekend was bizarre to say the least. It wasn't even so much what he said as it was how he said it. He wasn't speaking so much as preaching, scolding the press like he is holier than thou and then leaving. I thought he did okay today and hopefully that's more representative of how he intends to convey information.

If they wanted more Trump supporters to ride the metro they should have privatized it.

Bill Clinton did the same thing. It was good then, too.

When your enemies are falling on their own swords,

making America great again eh? So we are now the enemies of the president? Trump never attacked the media eh? Trump never attacked the CIA eh? Trump never attacked the war record of John McCain eh? He's such an inclusive guy......FAIL I see a man unqualified stumbling into a very serious job.....and he is more worried about his popularity than is healthy for a man facing a great responsibility.....breath held......and I'm not falling on a sword anytime soon. Trust is earned and Trump has spent a lot of time mucking that up .......I'm waiting for him to earn some....so far, not seeing it

They tried that twice before and it ended up costing more due to private contractors doing what they used to....I'm all for trimming fat and govt...it just has been tried and not worked before....now that he's eliminating trade agreements with asia and north America.....notice the market dropping like a cheap date?

Some people have clearly declared war on the president. They lost legitimately, so this is all they've got, it seems.

Maybe they should organize and try to win back some of the 1000+ offices they lost across the country hawking the ideas they do. Yep, falling on their swords.

That's the Clinton '92 campaign slogan. What rock were you under?

You said employee freeze never worked. Clinton did just that, and he didn't hire replacements when people quit or retired.
