CNN: White House press secretary attacks media for accurately reporting inauguration crowds

[highplainsdem]

Love the headline. More and more in the media not putting up with the BS from Trump and his flunkies.

Some longtime White House correspondents were stunned by the tirade.

Glenn Thrush of The New York Times wrote on Twitter, "Jaw meet floor."

Karen Tumulty of the Washington Post said Spicer's assertion about "what you guys should be writing" was "chilling."

Ari Fleischer, who had the same job as Spicer during the George W. Bush administration, tweeted, "This is called a statement you're told to make by the President. And you know the President is watching."

And Brian Fallon, who was in line to become press secretary if Hillary Clinton had won, wrote, "Sean Spicer lacks the guts or integrity to refuse orders to go out and lie. He is a failure in this job on his first full day."

"I've run out of adjectives," wrote Chuck Todd, the moderator of NBC's "Meet the Press."

1. Cover the real news and people will watch. Imagine the ratings

when a million women storm the gates of the White House to remove this shit stain.

2. M$Greedia says

they're not going to be the Trump PR agencies - this will be fun given that they cashed in on his unreality

3. It must be a nightmare to listen to a Trump tirade about the numbers

AND, to have the job of trying to calm him down and keep him from tweeting. It kind of amusing that his staff and aides are way in over their heads. There is no way they can dress him up to present a sliver of decency and capability for the job. It's not possible to put lipstick on this pig. And yet, they try.

4. About time we saw an honest headline.

5. Why yes... ATTACK!

That's surely the way to ingratiate tRump and his cabinet to the American public, the press and everyone else around the world who's watching.

Hell, Spicer, why don't you come down on the floor and kick one of the male reporters in the balls and grab one of the females by the crotch... then you'll really be the star of this shit show!!!

6. Good coverage of the marches on CNN

I have to say they're not just discussing the disgusting outburst at the CIA or Spicer

7. You know you suck when you make Fleischer and Kristol look reasonable

9. Thread winner.
