Hahahaha. Oh man. You guys crack me up sometimes.

he didn't lie

Why don't you say Trump never lies ? Or maybe tell us Trump lies very rarely, way less than Hillary or other politicians. Come on, go ahead and share with us exactly how deep your delusions run.

By doing actual investigative reporting instead of the partisan hackers that passes for journalism.

I'd like to see a list of Trump's lies.

I want actual quotes of Trump and not someone's spin.

First two days: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-trump-us-president-false-claims-inauguration-white-house-sean-spicer-kellyanen-conway-press-a7541171.html

Off to a good start, though I'm sure you'll call them by some other name... a false assertion perhaps, or an alternative truth....

Oh no, @Patrick, the experts have to suss the comments for us and place them inside a frame of their creation to show us they were "lies".

The two funniest things:
* He's doing pretty much what he promised, esp. re: Somalis and other unstable, war torn states.
* The Media carried on for weeks prior to the election about how dangerous the Trump Voters would be when he lost. 99% chance of victory right up until the late evening of Election Day!

The two next funniest things:
* The Media was bragging about how it was "270 to Win", and yet now is promulgating the "Didn't get the popular vote" thing as part of their delegitimacy campaign.
* Hillary lost, and it's the Dems that have gone hyperbolic.

@Curious2 He's closing down the "Invite" side of Neoconliberal "Invade-Invite", at least to some degree. The part the "expert narrators" avoid is that most of these countries have been subject to US interventionism, overt or covert or via proxies (ie Yemen & Saudi) in the recent past.

The sole exception is Iran, but travel restrictions (remember Obama and Russian Sanctions) are an ordinary, common means of a State to express displeasure at another.

I'd like to see white supremacist quotes of Steve Bannon.

How should the White House handle a media that isn't afraid to lie?

13   HEY YOU   @   2017 Feb 3, 4:14pm  

Well let me get this lying thing straight.
I've probably told as many lies as anybody here & on the internet.
All patnetters are geniuses.

Now because I am a liar doesn't mean you aren't.
"YOU GONNA LEARN TODAY!"
Any one that has talked about Santa Clause,Easter Bunny,Tooth Fairy (plenty more where these came from) is a GOD DAMNED LIAR!
Let me repeat that,
GOD DAMNED LIAR!
Sorry! You would never LIE to your children or grandchildren.

Another Expert Education Troll by HEY YOU points out HYPOCRISY!

The media I believe is starting to not book Kellyanne, Pence, and is starting to send second string reports to the Press Secretary briefings. There is even a movement to stop covering the administration live. Hilarious! :)

So I think we have our answer: the media will cover the administration by very "slow news" methods, and only after major fact checking. This is the result of what can only be called an adversarial relationship and an administration not afraid to produce outright propaganda.

I'm liking it!
