The take away is Trump had YUGE crowds, and he's lying about the metro totals, and his ratings on TV.

The reporters who had been waiting for an hour looked rightfully disgusted to the core. I can only imagine their off the record comments.

Hello media: do your freakin jobs. This is America. You are supposed to be journalists. Tell the freaking truth. Check the facts. Tell it like it is.
Do your freakin jobs.

(20,049 posts)They fed the ratings machine to rip President Obama apart over BS topics. Then there's how they legitimized Trump, and harped on Hillary's emails. They're responsible, too. Thus my boycott. But, in my defense of my lapse, right now they haz a small sadz over the Dictator in Chief they helped elect. Which is kind if interesting to watch, in a voyeuristic way. In extremely small doses.
I'm know I'm being selfish, but I can't wait for the Obama's to get back from vacation. I hope they deeply enjoy their well deserved time off, but I can only come up with so many suggestions for the direction we need to move their foundation, and the future. Plus, I miss them so much already. More even today than yesterday.

(5,591 posts)Though I honestly don't understand how, after being played for easy fools (or is it tools?) by the Cretin forever, these journalists can can expect to be respected by anybody in this new administration.
It is one gigantic bad joke.
