    I'm waiting on director Brennan to release the CIA recon photos but Trump said it was the biggest crowd ever and that's good enough for me.

    It's going to be President Trump for 8 years, not 4. Might not even be a Democratic President for longer.

    So, carry on MSM. You haven't learned a thing.

    I think Trump was making a comparison to Obama's 2012 inauguration, but I agree that I don't think it was as large as Obama's 2009 inauguration (God... I hate typing that word).

    Are you only interested in news with conservative bias, such as Fox News, which by the way, is definitely part of the MSM?

    Has the press made a big deal of Trump's announcing our withdrawal from TPP? This crowd stuff is not important but the MSM is going to focus on minutia for the next 4 years simply because they hate Trump. But, the one thing the media is forgetting is that they made Trump. They gushed over him when he was a NY socialite and couldn't wait to interview him when he was a presidential candidate. I guess today they figure they'll get their best ratings by reporting mindless stories to intolerant liberal haters who will eat it up, they've already convinced the low info voters he's a homophobic racist without a shred of proof. The MSM will simply keep feeding the haters anything they have to in order to keep the hate alive.

    While you may have a point about the MLK bust, which parts of the story that was actually written were untrue?

    I kind of agree with the second part. It is a very petty thing for the media to go after Trump's audience size.

    As for the first part of your post, which parts of the story are untrue? Or were you referring to Spicer's response?

    Lie by omission is a lie, not any different from all other lies.

    So because the MLK bust story was not mentioned, all the stats on the audience are false, too? Does anyone at all have evidence to support that? Even Spicer didn't offer much.

    It's funny, though, how much Trump is incredibly concerned about the size of things.

    I frankly could not care less about the size of the audience, that MLK bust anti-Trump smear was not even mentioned though once again proves the media dishonesty, lies and bias and this is an infinitely bigger issue than anything else in this story.

    It's funny how libs are incredibly unconcerned about media corruption, collusion, dishonesty, bias and incompetence.

    So you're dodging the question. Fair enough. It can be a useful tactic at certain times.

    Perhaps... I don't know. While I may hold some liberal beliefs, I'm not a liberal. I think we should just focus on the story this thread. I'll give you the bias, and I'll say that bias does show some level of incompetence, but where was the corruption, collusion, and dishonesty in this story? Can anyone show evidence to support Spicer's claims that directly conflict with those written by CNN (which at least offered sources to back them up)?

    Seriously, Trump was viciously smeared and slandered and you don't find collusion and dishonesty in this story? Lest we forget that this is merely the latest in the media's 2 year long anti-Trump campaign based on lies, innuendo, distortions, deliberate omissions and plain fake news.

    That would be Obama but it certainly makes him look bad. Who the hell cares of the crowd was not as big. He is president and that should be the end of it. As such make sure you have your facts straight before you accuse others of lying. Its his biggest fault that he does not take criticism well. It would be refreshing to see a president admit once in a while they made a mistake or were wrong. The subject should never have come up. Pick your fights carefully

    I hate to say it but is a very petty thing for Trump to dispute the fact it was smaller. Who the hell cares ?

    So you can't disprove the numbers told in the article?

    I'd bet you really good at avoiding car accidents, too.

    I think all sides should be ashamed of this story.
