On Sunday mornings broadcast of CNNs Reliable Sources, White House advisor Kellyanne Conway continued to wage war on the mediaand CNN specificallyby arguing the network shouldnt be so critical toward the president because Donald Trump simply doesnt know any better.
Conway took umbrage with the medias insistence on covering such non-stories as the president of the United States continually lying to the American public. After host Brian Stelter argued that his network was committed to covering the many scandals emanating from the White House, an incredulous Conway pushed back, demanding to know what scandals Stelter was referring to.
The scandals are about the presidents lies, replied Stelter. About voter fraud; about wire-tapping; his repeated lies about those issues. Thats the scandal.
Despite overwhelming evidence that the White House is indeed lying in both of those casesthere is zero evidence to support Donald Trumps claim that 3 million people voted illegally, or that his office was wire-tappedthe administration continues to promise investigations into both matters. But Conways response on Sunday was a new approach to how the administration handles allegations of lying

Anybody see that horror show? Stelter would do well to have a few obvious facts at his fingertips, in order to counter her BS, and the guts to more assertively STOP her in her tracks
I actually watched over 20 minutes of gishgalloping insults before I turned on Joel Osteen for something less soul killing
Has she ever been on with Joy Reid?

It's lying. If it's lying under oath, it's perjury. It isn't recognized as "truthful hyperbole". It's not the truth. It's lying.
By going public with "it's not lying if you believe it" meme should provoke an ethics violation against her by the state bar.

Again, will she ever go toe to toe w/Joy?
Or anyone who will insult her, uh, tit for tat?
What's with this wimpy, faux politesse in the face in the face of intransigent, strident, truculent, overarching mendacity?
