He let them have it, and I’m sure Trump approved. It’s so good to see.

This isn’t wasting time. It’s war against the enemy, and they are going to lose.

Judge Jeanne revealed tonight that the photo of the smaller showing of people at Trump’s ceremony, than the number at Obama’s ceremony: THE PICTURE FOR TRUMP WAS TAKEN AT AN EARLIER HOUR OF THE DAY (before the spots were filled in. I think a lot of people waited until the last minute because of the cold weather.

FAKE NEWS STRIKES AGAIN ..!!!!!!

Every White House briefing needs to start out this way! Every singe one of them. This is a new era, they can’t and won’t get away with their seditious reporting any longer.

I was watching FNC after this press conference. Brett Baier, Krauthammer and them were clearly shaken up by this dressing down. Things are going to be different for them.

All that, and frankly Obama was symbolic, historically, as the first black POTUS. Funny how inexplicably expanded black victimhood had become during his admin, when in fact it demonstrated blacks truly to be on par with whites, but I digress.

As well they (Krauthammer & co) should be; Spicer said it was a two way street, that the news will be held accountable.

My recommendation:

Trump should avoid trying to match MSM tit-for-tat.
Instead, Spicer should do a special weekly media smack down
briefing show. Toss in some humor. Yes, respond to
the bullshit attacks as they happen (and they will)
but hone in on specifics once a week. The media is a
joke and should be treated as such. The show would
be a smash hit.

One of the news anchors also pointed out the ‘boo’s’ during the parade. They only turned the sound up for a few seconds at that spot and pointed out the boo’s. Well, there was a lot more enthusiastic cheering than there were boo’s.
I think it was NBC, it could have been CBS, because I did watch both depending on the TV signal.

The lower crowd numbers were also mentioned. Well, of course there were lower crowd numbers. There was a huge to-do about riots et al, people stayed away! BUT, the neilson rationgs were much higher for Trump than Obama, and they never did draw attention to how many viewed live, online.

They made it sound as though the police had a hands-off policy going on regarding crowd and protester control, so anybody in their right mind is going to back off and stay away after what we’ve seen going on with riots elswhere this past year.

Because I don’t watch tv often, I have a tendency to be aware of the mind control tactics and ‘suggestive’ comments made by the LSM.

They’re guilty of promoting disgusting behavior and bad manners as a result.

My son’s teacher would not play the inauguration live because she was afraid that something bad would happen, and she didn’t want the children to see that or to see the disrespect of the rioters. (She told them or at least my son that she voted for Trump.) Another teacher friend would not let her daughter travel to the inauguration with a school club because she was afraid for her daughter’s safety. The majority of the teachers at this school voted for Trump. My youngest son watched it live via the Internet with his teacher and class. My middle school daughter watched pre inauguration happenings in one class. She did not see the swearing in LIVE because her teacher at that time of day decided against showing the class. Teacher watched it though via her phone. Maybe she was scared, too.

ANd they keep on lying about the inauguration attendance with that lying picture taken hours before his speech showing empty spaces in the back. This is what they do, lie lie lie 24/7 to set a narrative. Yet, who pays in the end? They do. They’re the only ones who believe their polls and fake news, and fake pics. Then when an election is held they lose, and sit there crying about Russia. These people are deranged liars.

Yea how about not taking your advice. You still too weak to fight this battle huh? Then take a seat and watch.

You don’t win with these people by smiling and joking and not coming back at them hard.

It’s not wasting time. This is Spicer’s job. Trump is hard at work doing policy stuff.

Weak? No, smart. You don’t wrestle with a pig in the
mud because the pig loves it and you just get dirty.
I would prefer a fight......on my terms, not MSM terms.
The MSM would love to have a daily battle with the
Trump administration. If you want to fight the stupid
little battles EVERY day when so many important conflicts
are looming then you must be as dimwitted as the MSM.

The press secretary gets paid to do this while Trump is handling the real business. Let him scorch the press. They deserve it for their fake news, their fake polls, now their fake pics.

The press secretary already has enough to do dealing
with the dissemination of legit information every damned
day. And, you weren’t paying much attention to my
recommendation in the first place. I never stated
that he shouldn’t address the misinformation. I stated that
the press secretary should address the basics initially
then compile them and feed them back to and threw the
media at a scheduled time. The message to the public is
that the Trump Administration is EXPECTING the media to
come up with stupid ‘gotcha’ crap.

This MLK missing bust issue is the kind of thing I’m
talking about. A shit load of this stuff is coming
down the road. If you added this silly assed story
to other similar farces Spicer could have a weekly
televised segment where he ridicules and bitch
slaps reporter types with a nice sized TV audience.
I think it would be a good way to turn things around
and make the MSM more accountable.
