1. No. Still important, but there's nothing left to say on it. We have to stay vigilant and point out crap as crap and facts as facts.
2. Not really, only in the context that if President Whiny Pants wants to claim more people showed up for his day.... we can look at actual facts (numbers,) and see he is mistaken.

Now, can we move on?
Nope. The press are a bunch of hack bitches they did a hack job right off the bat and you're covering them for it. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Be it names scribbled on a starbucks cup or bust in WH the media has a narrative to push and you are going to dutifully suck ut up without reservation.

Except that metro sales don't tell us how many people attended the inauguration. There are other ways to get there than buying a metro pass. So it isn't proof of anything. He had a pretty good sized crowd, backed up all the way to the monument, no doubt smaller than Obama's in 2009, but nowhere near as small as the misleading photos taken after Trump left for the White House, that you think make the claim so laughable.

1. This is where I disagree. ClubGOP has it right, to a great extent the damage is already done. A bunch of folks are walking away with the confirmation Trump is racist.
2. I agree Trump was being whiny at the CIA, wrong venue. But I'm fine with the Press Sec giving the Whitehouse position, because the press keeps making an issue about popularity of Trump.

Both these are related. To me, the press is showing the same agenda they showed during the election, frame Trump as hateful, racist, unpopular.

Now, it's early on. Trump has to find a way to rise above rolling in the mud with a hateful, vengeful corporate media establishment.

Prove it. You made a claim. The point is yours to prove. I know what I said and how I feel about that far better than you do. I don't care, though. You never acknowledge it when I do blast a D. You only call me a liberal hack when I blast someone on the R team.

I can hate both sides, equally. You know how I know that? Because here I am, doing just that.

I'm not rehashing the Benghazi You Tube thing again.
You prove it. You're the one shilling for the MSM , I am just a humble consumer. You think it is ok to go off and tell a lie on the frontpage but post the correction sheepishly an hour later to an empty room.

:lol:

513,000 - 193,000 = 320,000 people opted to walk? Have you ever been to DC? Most hotels aren't within walking distance.

Metro Ridership: As of 11am, 193k trips taken so far today. (11am 1/20/13 = 317k, 11am 1/20/09 = 513k, 11am 1/20/05 = 197k)

Where, amazingly, you can travel to D.C. on an earlier day, book a room you are actually allowed to sleep in, and spend the additional days sight seeing before the inauguration -- you know, vacation stuff..

If the corporate media wants to be taken as professionals, they should act like it and practice Journalistic Ethics, not be giving the American Citizens Golden Showers.

Look at the size of the crowd when he's giving his speech.

You can't have a crowd that size and have everyone going by metro, that's just math lady. Metro sales don't mean jack, use your eyes.
