Calling Out Trump On Lies About Inauguration Crowd Size

The very first thing the White House press secretary brought up at his first meeting with reporters was lie after lie angrily accusing the media of minimizing the crowd size at the inauguration, despite video and photographic proof of it's size. He then goes on to make excuse after excuse for why the crowd was so small, even though he also claims it was huge. (OK, technically the second, the first thing was complaining about a mistaken story/tweet about the removal of a bust of MLK that had been quickly corrected)

BONUS: White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer lambasts the media (the speech this video addresses) in comments. This...THIS is the most important thing to the Trump administration on day one, not any of the empty promises he made but whining and crying about not looking good on TV using easily debunked lies...now being called "alternative facts" by the Trump team. Alternative facts are lies.

Bonus Video: the actual "press conference" with Sean Spicer


Now he's tripling down and claiming he is still right, that more people watched this inauguration than any other, now claiming it's because they watched online....but refusing questions about the crowd or TV ratings and not admitting to any error at all.
He also complained that they (he) may get some (all) facts wrong when giving briefings (indicating that it's not important), but will always correct reports they got wrong (didn't this time) and should be given leeway if they end up telling the truth in the end (which they still haven't on this first issue)...then he instantly goes on to complain about the erroneous story about the missing bust of MLK that WAS corrected before they even knew it was reported, clearly not giving the media an iota of the respect and leeway he expects from them in the same circumstance.

If you start typing "Alte" it into Google right now the third auto suggestion is "Alternative Fact Orwell" - At least for my google bubble anyway.

Not disappointment at all.
All Trump is doing is telling the media to fly straight.

Yes it is/was a poor choice of topic to use.

But I wonder were the picture taken during the inauguration or some hours before?

Sure the rain has caused 10% or so to stay home.
Just asking are we comparing apples to apples?

Trump has done great first few days.

@bobknight33 , your take? Is this what you were promised from Trumps first day in office, or are you disappointed yet?

Shouldn't they tell them by example, then? Claiming the biggest crowd ever when it's clearly not, and attacking truthful reporting? The press secretary needs to fly straight first, so far the only thing he's done is lie and lie again.
Today he's lying about illegal voting costing Trump a win by 3000000+ votes, with absolutely zero evidence and contrary to investigations by election officials and any rationality, 3-5000000 votes they claim were frauds all cast for Clinton, zero for Trump, 3-5000000 more than ever before. If true, we need to disqualify the results and hold another election, because 5000000 illegal votes is significant enough to invalidate the whole election. I'll give them the benefit of a doubt....it's true....time to hold a special election in April.

No, the time stamp shows it's exactly the same time....well, 2 minutes difference. Both at noon.

Funny, they blamed everything but the rain...magnetometers slowing the crowd (that weren't actually there), public transport records (that showed there was much lower than previous inaugurations), grass covers making empty space stand out (that were used before), intentionally misleading angles (from exactly the same place as the comparison photos), etc. Each one a proven lie.

Trump and his press secretary have had numerous damaging public tantrums over just dumb minutiae like his small crowd size and spouted numerous verifiable lies in the first few days, and been sued for unconstitutional actions.
Flying straight?
Yeah....great.
