[nfb-talk] Here he comes...

[Jen]

How big was the inauguration crowd? From the TV coverage / cheering afte the
swearing-in, it sounded pretty big...

To add to your "free press" comment, did you hear Ms. Conway's "alternative
facts" statement last night? I didn't know whether to laugh or cry...

The myth the free press cannot be trusted comes primarily from
conservatives, but I will acknowledge some liberals are just as bad. 

No matter where it comes from, The point is it's just an excuse people give
for believing what they want to believe; this is Un-American. Right now, for
purely political purposes, President Trump is trying to undermine confidence
in the  free press. He doesn't want to believe his inauguration didn't set
an attendance record, so purely for his own political gain, he is
undermining confidence in the free press; I say that is an act of disloyalty
to the United States Of America.
