Fake news backfired tremendously on the shitlibs, can't wait to see how their latest hashtag works out.

#MeltBitches

#MAGA

Chuck Todd throws out #AlternativeFacts and gets BTFO by a girl (Kellyanne Conway)

My roommate and I were just saying this when I saw this thread. Libs are so transparent in their strategy now; the Trump movement is lapping these clowns in the media.

Fake News was more of an indictment against our society, who is filled with idiots (on both sides, mind you) that share anything they say that agrees with what they believe, whether it's true or not. The more inflammatory a headline, the better.

Alternative facts, though...that came straight from the administration and to be quite frank, is embarrassing. Trump and his staff don't need to bicker with the media over the size of inauguration crowds because anyone with a brain realizes that shite doesn't matter.

Instead, Conway and Spicer only exacerbated the perception that Trump is a whiny crybaby who's more obsessed with how he's thought of than actually getting to work.

Regarding that, check this out:

quote:

Trump spent most of [his] ABC interview boasting about himself.

He said his CIA headquarters speech "was one of the greatest addresses ever given.” “That speech was a home run,” Trump told David Muir. “See what Fox said. They said it was one of the great speeches. They showed the people applauding and screaming. … I got a standing ovation. In fact, they said it was the biggest standing ovation since Peyton Manning had won the Super Bowl, and they said it was equal. It lasted for a long period of time.”

Four times, the president referred to himself in the third-person. Trump plugged an “extraordinary poll” that he said found that people “loved and liked” his inaugural address, insisted he could have “very, very easily” won the popular vote in the election ... had he simply tried. And he said a recent visitor told him that their meeting “was the single greatest meeting I've ever had with anybody.”

Crowd size still really matters to the new president: “As the two toured Trump's new home, the president stopped in front of a framed photo of his inauguration crowd. ‘Here's a picture of the crowd,’ the president explained to the nation he now leads. ‘Now, the audience was the biggest ever, but this crowd was massive. Look how far back it goes … And I would actually take that camera and take your time [scanning the crowd] if you want to know the truth.’”

The "smarter/smarmier than you" progressive set LOVES buzzword bullshite like this.

"Alternative facts" was a beat to death punchline this week on the soccer podcast I listen to. Every time they said it the snobbery was palpable.

I saw that yesterday. This is classic thin skinned Trump.

The difference between AlternativeFacts and FakeNews?

AlternativeFacts are facts. They are FACTS the MSM wants to suppress.

FakeNews is news comprised of lies. e.g., an assertion that facts the MSM wants to suppress are not true.

Except spicer, et al presented lies, falsehoods.
Bend over backwards, contort yourself, and Spin my brother .
Alternative facts would have been we had a extremely large crowd size maybe the second or third largest ever in person. Alternative facts do not include the highest TV ratings, which is false. Alternative facts do not include a higher number of metro riders during the same time., Which is also false

They didn't say "highest tv ratings". They said "most watched".

Ever heard of the Internet?

It looks like Trump is throwing out random quotes about crowd size, illegals voting, etc., because he knows the liberal media will go ape-shite trying to "correct the record". Meanwhile, he has been hard at work delivering on his promises to the American people, and dismantling 8 years of Obama's failed policy.

It's working too. The media doesn't even realize that they are being played.

Just remember folks. The same people that spent 8 years touting the massive recovery of the economy with historic low unemployment rates while ignoring the historic low labor participation rates are now telling the Wharton Business graduate he doesn't know how economics works.

Just saying.

But does he apply that knowledge? Repeated bankruptcies say hello

What's funny is there are a lot of liberal who have come out of hiding since their embarrassing failure has left and are really hitting Trump hard during his first week over stupid petty crap (which Trump is playing them)...the lib's and the msm thinking is a big issue, which as usual, he will end up being right. What President Trump has done since elected and his first week is making 0bama look like the weakest most pathetic POTUS in history. 0bama never once was able to talk to CEO's, Union leaders or any other smart people because he is an idiot, so he covered up his weak mind by acting as he didn't have the time or he was above them and the msm covered for him. 0bama was in way over his head didn't have a clue how to negotiate (see Iran deal or Bergdahl swap) you liberals are fools and until President Trump does something as dumb as the Iran deal or Bergdahl swap...STFU. No...keep acting like fools, it's comical.

That's what Spicer said in the press briefing on Monday or Tuesday.

Also, are you and the left so intellectually dishonest that you continue to say alternative facts = falsehoods? Let me give you an example. A building is red on the north side and blue on the south side. A person on the north side says the building is red. A person on the south side says the building is blue. Both are facts.
