Dont tell me to stop watching Cable News...

40 % of U.S. viewers watch Cable News.. The thing is; those who do watch Cable News spend twice as much time watching Cable news than those who watch local networks.

Back to my title: I wanna watch cable news to see how MSM Reporters are decimating info...
Lots of talk today about" Lying through his teeth Spencer”....Someone brought up the point that the Reporters covering the W.H. Pressers, should back each other up and force Spencer to answer the question directly and not change the subject..Problem is, most reporters wanna separate themselves from the others in order to please their bosses.

So I’m gonna continue watching this bullshit and continue writing news executives, threatening them that my friends and I are gonna quit watching unless they learn how to stop Spencer from lying, by following up the questions he is not answering

If the White House spokesperson is pumping out bullshit, why would it stop flowing when they call him on it?

They can do corrections in the reporting and the fact checking, we just have to know we are watching a liar's performance.

For example, Friday he was called out on how Evelyn Farkas had left the State Department at the end of 2015, so how could she be disclosing confidential material and unmasking names?

His obtuse response was to go ask her how she is doing it - and stop focusing on the timelines and process.

Fact checking a liar while he is lying is pointless.

See? We know the truth of it, and it has never come from Spicer - or the Liar-in-Chief.
