What The Press Pool Should Say to Sarah Huckabee Sanders

This is what Jim Acosta or someone at the daily press briefing should say to Sarah Huckabee Sanders:

"The President keeps talking about fake news. Would someone in your administration please compile a list of all the times we have reported fake news. And, then please also compile a number of times that the news was not corrected."

And, if she hems and haws about that, the reporter should go one step further and say, "Please tell me when that list is ready so I can show you the list of all the lies that President Trump has made since the start of his presidency. Let's see which list is longer. And, let's see the number of times the media has made the corrections it needed to and let's see how many times President Trump has corrected his lies. Sarah, just like Mr. Guiliani said recently, I think someone in your administration needs to put up or shut up!"

which would leave them plenty of time to do something useful with the rest of their afternoon.

They are content to "lie" in it forever if need be.

They would rather report about Drumpf calling them LIARS & FAKE every single day, than to miss out on one of his sound bytes.

And not televise the "briefing."
