protesters and crowd coverage. here s what sean spicer said earlier today. this was the largest audience to witness an inauguration, period, both in person and around the globe. even the new york times printed a photograph showing that a misrepresentation of the crowd in the original tweet. in their paper showed the ul extent of the support that existed. these attempts to less b the enthusiasm of the inauguration are shameful and wrong. the president is committed to unifying our country, and that was the focus of his inaugural address. this kind of dishonesty in the media is making it more difficult. there has been a lot of talk in the media about the responsibility to hold donald trump accountable. i m here to tell you that it goes two ways. we are going to hold the press accountable as well. the american people deserve better and as long as he serves as the messenger for this movement, he will take his
the president is committed to unifying our country. this kind of dishonesty in the media, challenge is making it more difficult. there has ban lot of talk about the responsibility to hold donald trump accountable. i m here to tell you it goes two ways. we are going to hold the press accountable as well. the american people deserve better and as long as he serves as the messenger he will take his message directly to the american people where his focus will always be. and that final message we just played there i think is critical. he said they are going to hold a news media accountable. i talked to a republican source right after he made that comment that said make no mistake, that was a threat from the white house press secretary at his very first briefing aimed at the news media. the other thing is that if you go down the list of these mettics that he la metrics th
address. this kind of dishonesty in the media is making it more difficult. there has been a lot of talk in the media about the responsibility to hold donald trump accountable. i m here to tell you that it goes two ways. we are going to hold the press accountable as well. the american people deserve better and as long as he serves as the messenger for this movement, he will take his message directly to the american people, will his focus will always be. and what s incredible about that statement, anderson, is that while sean spicer is accusing all of us of being spreading falsehoods and misrepresenting what occurred yesterday, he laid out a series of facts that just didn t add up. they were not true. he talked about the crowds. he also mentioned the floor covering. i mean, again, i just got to say it is surreal that we are discussing this on day one of the trump administration.
were engaged in deliberately false reporting. one with a particularly egregious example in which a reporter falsely tweeted out that the bust of martin luther king jr. had been removed from the oval office. this was irresponsible and reckless. secondly, photographs of the inaugural proceedings were intentionally framed in a way in one particular tweet to minimize the enormous support that had gathered on the national mall. there s been a lot of talk in the media about the responsibility to hold donald trump accountable, and i m here to tell you that it goes two ways. we re going to hold the press accountable as well. greg: all right, rob. you know, they always say you ve got to pick your battles. seems like trump is going to pick every battle, right? well, yeah [laughter] or his press guys are going to. greg: yeah. simmer down, dude. again greg: i think he got it s true he starts out hot. he s sweating and angry. like, dude, just simmer down. greg: he probably had been
among the most dishonest human beings out there. right? and they sort of made it sound like i had a feud with the intelligence community. and i just want to let you know, the reason you re the number one stop is exactly opposite. reporte . the president is focused on uniting the country and that was stated in the inaugural address. there s been a lot of talk in the media about the responsibility to hold donald trump accountable and i m here to tell you that it go s two ways, we re going to hold the press accountable as well. i m saying there s an obsession by the media to delegitimize this president. and we re not going to sit around and let it happen. we re going to fight back every day and twice on sunday.
