CNN panel agrees Sean Spicer can't be trusted: He already 'has people comparing him to Baghdad Bob'

If the White House intends to use “alternative facts,” CNN’s Brian Stelter urges the media to shout out the actual facts louder.

In a Monday morning panel on CNN’s “New Day” host Chris Cuomo outright called press secretary Sean Spicer’s numbers about Trump’s crowd size “wrong” and explained that Trump’s White House is now claiming they were given incorrect information.

Media analyst Bill Carter couldn’t believe this was the first thing Trump’s administration chose to do out of the gate.

“I mean he has people comparing him to Baghdad Bob the first day in office, saying, ‘I can’t trust this guy,'” said Carter.

No one with an ounce of integrity can maintain that kind of job-- persistently lying and confronting the press with Trumpy's falsehoods.

Now, Propaganda Barbie will outlast everyone. She's as natural a liar as Trumpy.

No doubt he was given orders as to exactly what he was to say and do by Donald Trump. He followed orders & now Trump is leaving him hanging out to wither in the wind all alone.

Everytime they bring up crowd size it gives the media a chance, to once, again show everyone how wrong they are with a simple visual, reminding everyone what liars they are.

They really have no idea what they're doing, do they?
