This is great for Tennessee fans. We can now proudly and responsibly tell Alabama fans that OUR football program is the best in all of the land!

Alternative facts...I like it.

Why stop there, we clearly have a better Basketball team than Kentucky.

GBO!!!

The same guy that said there was no proof any part of the federal prison population was illegal immigrants. And that Georgia was most likely going blue for Clinton. And let's not forget he was part of the leaks making sure the right questions were asked for democrats. He's a moron first class.

Alternate facts equal lies.

What an a-hole. So let me state up front that I don't have a problem with the question. My issue is that it is so blatantly obvious that he is a partisan hack rather than someone interested in reporting actual news that might help improve relations within our government and civilization. He must have asked Kellyanne the same question a dozen times trying to get a response. And again... it's not that I have an issue with him trying to get an answer. But two things are obvious:

  1. in the grand scheme of things, the issue he is bringing up is so very minor in comparison to all of the other news that could have been reported
  2. can anyone give even one example of a journalist ever pushing this hard against a democrat? My goodness, if he would have been this persistent in asking Hillary about her emails then he might have some credibility.

KellyAnne masterfully handled herself well in that interview media attack. She is well equipped for that position. If these are the kind of people that Trump is putting in his cabinet based on their skills for each position, then I think we will be in great shape in the foreseeable future.

Outstanding KellyAnne...

First, yes, when that turned out to be false for at least some people there was a lot of media criticism of him for it.

Second, it's substantive policy. It's worthy of discussion and criticism of Obama. Trump's literal obsession with defending his ridiculous exaggeration of the size of the crowd, this just pathological need to be worshipped, is now way past alarming.

It's nuts how much he can't withstand just minor crap. He has to fight back over the most trivial of things. I can't believe he has the power to end life on the planet. He might do it, just out of spite.

I'll give you partial credit counselor, but again your bias is showing.

Yes... Obama took some criticism, but not nearly as much as you're alluding to. However, what he did not get was repeated questions during the same interview asking why he lied!!! That was the whole point.

Why didn't the media repeatedly push him for an answer regarding such a blatant lie about people's healthcare, which again is much more relevant than a headcount at an inauguration? You know the real answer... you just can't allow yourself to admit it.

We're talking about crowd size... not something that really matters and actually affects our country. Is this really the most important event that occurred yesterday?

Not at all.

The media were morons for focusing on it. Trump is an idiot for focusing on it. This is the next four years.

Chuck Todd is not a journalist. He's paid to shill for the Democratic Party.

I think I'll just sit back and enjoy the meltdowns and attacks that will be coming from these water carriers as they do the bidding of their masters. These people put Party above all else. No honor.

Out of 100 things that occurred yesterday, they ignore 99 other things to press Kellyanne about this?

The same can be said on any other given day. The media can pick and choose anything they would like to focus on any day and make hay about it.

They have their marching orders, and that is to destroy Trump. It will be furious and incessant for the next few years.

I'm going to enjoy the show.

If Trump wants to bury them and expose their agenda for all to see, he will have to deliver on his platform and communicate directly with the people.

Trump knows that the arch left thinks that they can prevail even though they lost the election. He knows that they will never stop, and that the media is on their side. Trump is aware that they have to be crushed.

There is no way to work with them. They have to be defeated. I hope they round them up, and haul them off in boxcars to concentration camps.

Trump made it a story. That's going to contribute to his downfall. He refuses to let a minor negative go unchallenged and ends up creating a major negative. The fact that his inauguration was more poorly attended than previous ones and that the protest had more people than expected was minor and would have passed. His ego caused him to make crazy counter claims and he created a story where none would have been. They need to continue asking about it. Maybe then Trump will learn just to keep his mouth shut about trivial matters.

And yet you seem to have no issue supporting the American press "facts"...

  • like Trump removing the MLK bust
  • like illegally feeding questions to a POTUS candidate prior to debates
  • like the press editing out part of the 911 call from Zimmerman to make it appear racist
  • like CNN dubbing in war sounds and images to make it appear a correspondent is reporting is a war zone
  • like NBC staging a "rigged" General Motors truck explosion
  • like CNN airing "audio" of the Michael Brown shooting that was never verified
  • like the gang rape fabrication against UVA and similar accusations against Duke
  • like George Stephanopoulos lying about his investments and involvement with the Clinton Foundation while presenting himself as a non-biased reporter on the subject

And these are just some that come to mind. You should do some research... the media has been fabricating things for years and it is only getting worse, and that is what ultimately may damage our country more than anything else.

The group we are supposed to trust to report the news... is actually making up news to either drive up ratings or support their own political views.

Classy.

Comments like this are why it's so easy to discard your opinion as beyond worthless.

Go back to the Iverson rant. The media doesn't have to go to Trump's level, either. Its happened before and it will happen again, but the media has been trolled on several occasions during the campaign running head first into stories and only made to look like fools later. My advice to the media would be for them to not take the bait all the time or at the very least, ask if an event is even newsworthy.

I'll ask you, is the crowd size at the inauguration worthy of being reported on? Does (or should) the average American care about this?

The bigger question is why tiny hands would be so butthurt about it? He's a small, thin-skinned cheeto.
