Not to mention Trump and Spicer also both made vague threats against the press if they didn’t report on what they wanted.

When does the GOP grow a backbone and start the impeachment proceedings?

With the administration only two days old, I have to wonder if they’re TRYING to look like comic-book supervillans. I mean, Steve Bannon’s wanted to be one his whole life.

It’s tempting to say “you can’t make this stuff up” but that’s clearly all they do now.

So if I commit a crime, can I just say I’m following “alternative laws”? Wait, I better not give them any ideas.

[Conway] then threatened the press if they failed to accept this, saying “If we’re going to keep referring to the press secretary in those types of terms I think we’re going to have to rethink our relationship here.”

“If we’re going to keep referring to the press secretary in those types of terms I think we’re going to have to rethink our relationship here.”
The MSM media should pro-actively re-think their relationship with a White House that considers lies and BS “alternative facts.” As I’ve said elsewhere, they should send their interns to transcribe the pressers and to ask the obvious and basic questions and let the more experienced reporters seek out the truth and facts in places that don’t show contempt for those concepts.
Too much to hope for, of course. They’re still addicted to access and “first” scoops and making sure their most careerist correspondents represent the brand on-camera.
