Conway accused the media of spreading a "falsehood" about the removal of the bust of Martin Luther King Jr. from the White House. But Todd told Conway she was using that error to avoid the question of "why the president asked the White House press secretary to come out in front of the podium for the first time and utter a falsehood."

"It undermines the credibility of the entire White House press office on day one," Todd said.

Conway said that Spicer was giving "alternative facts" when he made several different claims about the inauguration. Todd told Conway that "alternative facts are not facts -- they are falsehoods."

"You sent the press secretary out there to utter a falsehood on the smallest, pettiest thing," Todd said. "I don't understand why you did it."

This show is just in time to replace the now defunct Ringling Bros circus.

Except, he was correct (see ratings below) and it was clear that there were shenanigans in some of the images of the crowd as well.

That said, it would have been better to acknowledge that Obama's numbers were likely higher because of tremendous DC attendance (subtly pointing out the swamp) and the extremely tight security and protester interference with accessing the area.

So are you saying he was wrong but it's ok because the media does it too?

Are you saying that it's not possible to have two different accounts of a situation, both factually correct?

In tangerines defense (I can't believe I'm doing this) she did avoid the question. With that said, she was correct in all her deflections.

Man, remember when the media pored over every word Obama said, and dug in to find the actual "dark and menacing" intent behind all of his words?

We know the mainstream media is in bed with the DNC.

Are you expecting us to be surprised at this type of stuff?

I guess news is whatever we want it to be depending on the agenda. One person's fake news is another person's alternative facts.

The press lies to the American people everyday. Now they want to cry when someone else lies. It's hilarious.
