So long as she's being interviewed by someone who will hold her feet to the fire regarding her lies, the more Kellyanne Conway interviews the better. She's only digging her own holes deeper. We're still talking about "Alternative facts" and the "Bowling Green Massacre" and it doesn't make her look very good at all.

Now Fox interviews of her are functionally useless and only serve to catapult the propaganda. But Jake Tapper seems to be a smart enough cookie to avoid that trap.

"Mr. Trump is so full of shit."

Or maybe even directly to Ms. Conway, "You are so full of shit."

It is heartening to see someone in the news coming back hard on her crap.

But I thought he was okay. She was her usual in not answering the question, but was more reserved in her demeanor. Still nothing but bullshit and lies. As another person said an extra Xanax. Same old shit though.

stooge rattle on & on without interruption. It was just more free airtime handed over to Trump's flunky to deliver their propaganda without getting stopped after every damn sentence and called out to provide the source for her lies.

The press corps used to be a lot tougher and more confrontational than they are today, and just because Tapper mustered the courage to ask a couple of politely worded questions, this is not an example of journalistic excellence.
