You're acting like the press never reports on crowd size. Jeez, Carlus - you just waking up from a very long nap? Crowd size has been covered since people started covering shit.

Whole thing goes away in a day if Trump doesn't mention it. Seriously, he's a child.

Wah.... press told people Metro sold less tickets for my inauguration. Lies! They lie! Just look at the size of my crowds!!

President Petty Pants.

Why this is different is it's all part of an ongoing narrative by the press to deny he has any popularity.

I too thought the POTUS talking about it at the CIA was petty. Trump needs to do better in this regard. My understanding of the OP this was about the press sec.

I'm noticing you are avoiding the BLATANT MLK bust lie by the press.

'The press' did not lie. One reporter for Time magazine sent a false tweet and corrected it within the hour.

You don't know that, you are taking him at his word. I don't believe him.

The press has shown a clear intent to attempt to destroy Trump. They have put their thumb on the scale wherever and whenever they can. They have been absolutely wrong in most everything about Trump. They have little to no credibility. It's their failing, not the POTUS' for calling them out on it.

Show me the pic of the SS agent blocking his view. He jumped to a fucking conclusion, not responsible reporting

FFS Carlus. We know he tweeted the error because we read the tweet. http://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2017/01/2 ... ust-tweet/

But the skittles! Doesn't anyone care about the skittles? There was a massive Skittles spill in Wisconsin, and those Skittles may have been intended to feed cows! Skittles for cows! How many Syrian bovine refugee super-bowl contenders have to die before we impeach the KGB operative? Focus, people!

I'm willing to accept your viewpoint that the reporter lied, but that is still not 'the press.'

Something I'm noticing in the language of the argument between the Trump administration and the news media, is the term "the press".

Is one reporter equivalent to the whole news outlet they work for? Is one reporter, or one outlet, equivalent to all reporters and outlets that make up "the press"? Is the credibility of AP and Reuters in doubt if a story some other outlets posted contains falsehoods? Is Breitbart part of the press, and is their history of reporting also under review as part of "the press"?

If the discussion is about reporters, or news outlets and their editors, there is a discussion that can take place in regards to journalism and ethics. If the discussion is about "the press", there's really nothing that can be said of any value, besides reinforcing the "us vs. them" narrative.

Doesn't wash for me, even if I believe his BS, at a bare minimum he jumped to a conclusion that MLK had been removed. Shows bias, MLK is gone, ergo I get to prove Trump is a racist.

Not responsible reporting. If he wanted to know, he should have investigated before reporting. He's a dumbfuck, and not a professional.

I'm not getting your point. You told MilSpecs she had no way of knowing the reporter corrected his incorrect tweet. I showed you proof and you don't believe it?

Read the tweet Carlus. He pointed out his error an hour after he made the error.

You guys have set new standards of proof. Providing a correction tweet should be proof of the existence of a correction tweet. What more evidence do you need?

SMH.

We've already agreed it was irresponsible, but now you deny the existence of a correction tweet? WTF?

[clubgop]

SMH - - crowd size is provable. Sorry, facts don't lie. Pictures don't lie.

It will be fun watching you guys try to spin your way out of a paper bag full o lies.

Uh uh all the while you said jack shit when Obama and Hillary blamed Benghazi on a youtube video.

Wrong. I condemned that action.
