I hate how they allow her to come on and spew lies. And hardly challenge her. The media is doing a disservice. They are scared of being shut out.

I saw a bunch of pundits on TV the other day, considering exactly that question. They all agreed Conway was very, very good at her job, so they couldn't ignore her. My conclusion is that the media like anything or anyone who creates excitement, and Conway uses two methods to do this. First, she acts as a mouthpiece for the outrageous activities of this administration, and their actions generate excitement, controversy, etc. Second, she lies, and that gives the media an opportunity to talk about how she lied. Double whammy.

Come on the air and lie every time, and enough is enough. She has nothing of value to contribute.

(Although the Bowling Green Massacre movement has given me a lot to laugh about on an otherwise gloomy day, I admit.)

Got to admit that she is very good at BS. That's worth a lot in Trump's admin.
