I watched the first press conference yesterday with Sean Spicer. In it he specifically addressed the lie that DJT said he had the largest attendance for an inauguration. He went over it for several minutes with a combative journo until he finally got the guy to see he was including television, online, and the on-site people in his number. By that metric it was easily provable that it was in fact the largest witnessed inauguration. Even then the journo wouldn’t admit that Trump was right. That the Atlantic would continue to repeat a lie that has already been addressed just makes them continue to look dumb.
Also, that press conference was one of the most entertaining ninety minutes of television I’ve seen in years. Seriously, its worth watching. Over and over they would go back to the crowd size confusion or other issues and try to catch Spicer in a lie based on nuanced changes in how they asked the questions. It never worked. I missed today’s, but I’ll try to catch it tomorrow. The winning is splashing all over everything!
