Isn't this the same as Virtual Reality? WWE? "The Biggest Loser"?

"You're saying it's a falsehood. And they're giving -- Sean Spicer, our press secretary -- gave alternative facts," she said.

Todd responded: "Alternative facts aren't facts, they are falsehoods."
Conway then tried to pivot to policy points. But later in the interview, Todd pressed Conway again on why the White House sent Spicer out to make false claims about crowd size, asking: "What was the motive to have this ridiculous litigation of crowd size?"

"Your job is not to call things ridiculous that are said by our press secretary and our president. That's not your job," Conway said.

Todd followed up: "Can you please answer the question? Why did he do this? You have not answered it -- it's only one question."

Conway said: "I'll answer it this way: Think about what you just said to your viewers. That's why we feel compelled to go out and clear the air and put alternative facts out there."

George Orwell couldn't have even come up with something that blatant and in your face.

Trump's spokeswoman said that she is going to flat out lie to us, and these morons think that's great.

How high is Mount Everest?

The reason that this seemingly simple question is difficult to actually answer is the large number of secondary issues. You can give an approximate number but that is really about it. Some people are going to have higher numbers and some are going to have lower numbers. It all amounts to your methodology.

By your logic, only one of the answers is correct. But by many measures, all are correct to some degree and wrong to some degree. So which is the fact?

ME: Mount Everest is 8,848 meters above sea level.

Trump, Mount Everest is millions of feet high.

ME: Really?
KellyAnne Conway: " President Trump was referencing the height from somewere below the Earth's mantle, because President Trump sees the whole picture, not just whats on the surface." HE IS SO SMART.

The media would show a picture of K2 side by side and claim it's half as big.

Ouch............that's going to leave a mark.

Did it leave a mark, GerBear? Does it sting as badly as any other lie you've been caught up in or is this worse?

Inquiring minds want to know...
