But that was all covered in a previous thread, so I'm not going to rehash it.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostIt wasn't an absurd statement, Chuck, because the media deliberately and deceptively downplayed the size of Trump's inauguration crowd in an attempt to embarrass the new President.

Originally posted by Tassman View PostThere are "facts" and, thanks to Kellyanne Conway's famous admission, there are "alternative facts"...the latter being the speciality of Trump and his spin doctors.
Pertinent to the matter at hand:
Fact -- Leaks reveal Sessions was recorded talking with a Russian representative about campaign matters.
Alternative Fact -- Leaks reveal Russian representatives on tape *claiming* to have spoken with Sessions about campaign matters.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.

Originally posted by NorrinRadd View PostOnly someone of questionable personal honesty and with a strong preexisting bias against Baby-Hands and his whole team would find the term "alternative facts" objectionable. I can scarcely think of a more accurate and concise description for sets of data whose most natural descriptions lead to opposite conclusions. That kind of crap leads to, e.g., "Eggs are bad!" "No! Eggs are super-foods!"

Originally posted by Tassman View PostNonsense! Spicer and the other hapless Trump advocates, stuck with the unenviable task of massaging Trump's lies, claimed that it was the largest inauguration crowd ever. This despite the clear visual evidence that this was not true.
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Yes. An unprecedented number of people around the world watched the inauguration on television and over the internet, so the combined audience was the largest in US history. It's only braindead liberals who see this statement as controversial.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Personally I see that as being combined they set a record not that each element set a record.
