WH Spokesman attacks media in first address

Nope.

I was wrong.

I'm still not tired of the winning.

Finally being treated like the fake news outfits that they are!

No one had numbers, because the National Park Service, which controls the National Mall, does not put any out...

Okay and fair enough.

[But]This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration -- period -- both in person and around the globe.

oh and

At a speech to CIA workers earlier Trump extraordinarily claimed that 1.5 million people turned up to his inauguration on Friday night.

It was a gross exaggeration compared to what his press secretary said at the briefing when he claimed that just 770,000 people had turned up.

a) Fake news media, b) fake Trump, of c) fake press conference, d) all of the above?

A circus already, on day two

Don't know (or care, really) if this was the most watched in person. I watched it, and the Mall certainly looked packed.

I absolutely have no doubt that this was the most watched inauguration on a global scale; I imagine it was the most streamed event ever. That's just the nature of evolving media. I watched it on my laptop in my kitchen, I imagine many, many millions also did similar worldwide.

WAY off-topic, but I remember the scifi show Buck Rogers once did something with the Olympics. It was held in their modern version of New Orleans (which was an undersea city by the 25th Century), and the events were held in small rooms with no spectators- everyone watched it on TV, or what then was assumed to be TV (we'd now say streaming, I guess).
For such a cheesy show, I imagine they were dead right on both the eventual fate of Nola, and of "events".
