What about the lie about the MLK bus taken out?


The reporter admitted he was wrong and apologized.

You'll never see Spocer or Trump do that.

how is reporting the actual crowd size "sowing division?" This is classic Trump: the media is terrific when they say things he likes. When they don't (like reporting the actual crowd size when he wishes it was bigger) they're liars, dirt bags etc.

Lol the administration has proven to be a clown show after two days? That press conference was nothing more than Trump saying he will not wear kid gloves with the media. There was nothing trivial about the MLK bust lie either. With today's race relations ( thanks Obama) that could have been dangerous.

You seem to be its personification.

The media narrative is partisan and dishonest. It has needed a punch in the mouth for years.

The crowd size at the inauguration has zero impact on anyone aka no practical person gives a shite. However, when your President signs ACA into law and says if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor and then you lose your doctor/insurance coverage due to ACA regulations, that is actually something to bitch about.

He was referring to the Martin Luther King episode. But in regards to the crowd size they are trying to discredit Trump I mean why would they even bring it up?

I DGAF about crowd sizes. So Trump's comments don't bother me a bit.

Taxes and Obamacare, I Do GAF about and I would prefer to hear about them, but for now I'll be patient while he gets a few digs in.

Soon however, I expect to be hearing more about things that matter to me.

That's called reporting. When crowds gather, sizes are reported. That's how it works.

Just a random thought here:

Most people who support Trump probably have jobs.

What about the ones supporting Obama?

If I don't have to be at work it makes it a lot easier to attend the inauguration.

There are an infinite number of things to report.

Someone consciously decided that this item was important (at least to them).

Why?

When countries go to war, they report on which countries. Why?

When banks go under, they report how it happened. Why?

When someone is killed, they report what weapon is used. Why?

When football games are played, they report the score. Why?

When movies are released, they report when it is released. Why?

When crowds gather they report how large the crowd was Why?

I love that the President and his press secretary lies about something that "doesn't matter" (clearly matters to him) and people here are spinning it back on melters and media. What a clown show.

Some of you are correct it doesn't matter that much. But given the way 24 hour news and social media works it's gonna be reported. But Trump and Spicer shouldn't have addressed it. Once they did and lied, it matters much more. It's not difficult to comprehend.
