Sunday on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” during a very contentious interview, President Donald Trump aide Kellyanne Conway told host Chuck Todd, “We’re going to have to rethink our relationship here,” if he continued to ask why press secretary Sean Spicer told a “falsehood,” about Trump’s inaugural crowd size.
Todd asked, “I’m curious why president trump chose yesterday to send out his press secretary to essentially litigate a provable falsehood when it comes to a small and petty thing like inaugural crowd size. my question to you is why do that.?
After her answer Todd again said, “You did not answer the question. Why did the president send out his press secretary who is not just the spokesperson for Donald Trump, he is also the spokesperson for all of America at times. He speaks for all of the country at times, why put him out there for the very first time in front of that podium to utter a provable falsehood? It’s a small thing, but the first time he confronts the public it’s a falsehood.”
Conway said “Chuck, if we’re going to keep referring to our press secretary in those types of terms, I think we are going to have to rethink our relationship here. I want a great open relationship with our press.”

The white house needs to start it’s own internet UNEDITED news feed. When a press conference or anything that is edited by the media they immediately put the complete version on the internet. Start out by showing the real videos of the actual crowd while Trump was speaking.

” why put him out there for the very first time in front of that podium to utter a provable falsehood?”
‘provable falsehood’?
I saw some footage of Trump at the Inaugural introducing Conway as the person who volunteers to go into the “lion’s den” when no one else will, and emerges with blood dripping out of her mouth (paraphrasing). Yup.
The propaganda machine....thanks for the imagery.
We need to rethink our relationship. It’s not me; it’s you.
Make the press corps move outside under an umbrella and use port-a-pottys.
If I were her, I think I would have just said, “If you have questions for Mr. Spicer, you need to talk to Mr. Spicer.”
Did they recall in the conversation how in 2009 Obama supporters stayed home in droves due the huge Conservative protests planned and the expected violence and high-danger potential for poor Obamabots to attend.
Oh, no wait...
Anyone remember ONE TIME the press used the term “holding him accountable’ when talking about Obama - any time in the last eight years?
I don’t remember hearing it ONCE. NOT ONCE.
Nope. What if your large company found out their CFO didn’t pass e-verify? Wouldn’t he or she have some ‘splainin’ to do? Wouldn’t he have to go, if he had no explanation that made sense?
The propaganda arm of the Obama admin never once asked the man why. Why can’t you, our President, pass the test we ask of employees to prove they have the right to work in America? It is a fair question.
The media knew the answer and knew not to ask. EVERYONE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY WAS THINKING THE NAKED EMPEROR HAD CLOTHES ON.
Never! Not one single time did I hear the press saying anything even close to holding Obama accountable no matter how destructive his words or actions.
What relationship? The administration and the press are adversaries. Surely Conway was astute enough to recognize that long ago?
The GOPe allowed themselves to be treated as an abused wife. The msm could belittle and berate them to their hearts content and GOPe kept letting them in. They would gladly apologize for acts not committed and the msm grew to expect the docile response to poor behavior. President Trump can be likened to the wife who greets her abuser with a loaded shotgun one day. His message is very clear...either learn some manners or be gone. The msm is stunned and confused. They are still at the stage of posturing and threats. It will be interesting to see what they do once they realize that their world changed big league on November 8th and that they no longer have any leverage.
You have to give her credit, she will walk right into the devil’s den and start kicking a**.
Has anyone called out the press for their little inside joke of wearing that bright neon pink color all week? I didn’t catch on for awhile, just wondered where that awful color suddenly came from and why it showed up all the time on the t.v. people. Then it dawned on me that it was the exact same color as the “p” hats the so-called women wore at the stupid protest.This was signaling solidarity and flipping the bird to everyone else.
The leftist press has never been spoken to that way by a Republican. I'm sure Chucky had to change underwear after that.
Rock on, Kellyanne. No more kowtowing from our side.
Get used to it. The media will be relentless. But they will also be easy to snooker. We need to start a little “news leak” factory, feed them total crap honey trap “stories” that they will run with like a dog pack. If they want to play disinfo we should oblige them.
Fox News should not be in the same category as NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, (MSNBC, PBS, and others).
If it was important enough for cnn to use a false picture to make a false impression about the inaugural, then it should be equally important to tell the public that it was a lie.
Who decides what is important or not!
The media is having fits dealing with a man who isn’t afraid of them... owes none of them.... and will not take their attacks... and can reach the people without them.
Go ahead and fix it so Trump will win another election!
So good to see FR back and running... I missed having this site to go to when it was down!!
Did anyone hear Brit Hume say right after the swearing in, that he had misjudged .. been wrong about... Donald Trump in the beginning and he didn’t want to make that mistake again.
