The dumb press secretary doesn't know if we are as stupid as we are accidentally ... or on purpose!

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders isn't a big fan of the media.
Which is, of course, her right.
The relationship between any White House and any press corps tasked with covering that White House is almost always fraught and fractious.
But, on Monday, Sanders made an accusation that went way, way beyond the pale of the usual give and take between White House and press corps. Here's what she said:
"There's a very big difference between making honest mistakes and purposefully misleading the American people. Something that happens regularly. You can't say -- I'm not done. You can't say that it's an honest mistake when you are purposely putting out information that you know to be false or when you're taking information that hasn't been validated, that hasn't been offered any credibility and that has been continually denied by a number of people including people with direct knowledge of an incident. This is something that -- I'm speaking about the number of reports that have taken place over the last couple of weeks. I'm simply stating that there should be a certain level of responsibility in that process."
Yes, there is a big difference between honest mistakes and purposely misleading people by reporting information that you know to be false. But, there's absolutely zero evidence -- cited by Sanders or anyone else in the Trump administration -- that any reporter covering the Trump White House has published something they knew to be false. Not any.

Uh oh. The MSM-Democrats are outraged.
“Waaaaah”, explained Chris Cilizza.
Sarah was spot on, calling the media liars LIARS! At lease SHE is honest!!
I like to think of it more as a highly effective spanking.
I didn’t see what she said, but I’m sure it wasn’t anywhere near offensive enough.
What a nothing article. If they made me press secretary for five minutes I’d show them “beyond the pale” that would turn their hair blue.
If you are splai’n you are losing.
ESAD CNN.
Difficult to detect that during the Obama years, what with all the butt-kissing and boot-licking by the MSM.
Cnn is a partisan organization, just admit it already, you look even more stupid arguing you are not.
So CNN is saying Sarah shouldn’t attribute to malice that which is solely attributable to their incompetence?
What can she do in the future. Governor?
Oh Whaah.
For crying out loud CNN. Get with it, and start reporting actual news, for a change.
Imitate Fox. For real. 24/7. You might learn some things.
The media’s Ross is Trump’s gain...
Sooooo... Since you’ve gotten so much so wrong so many times you’d prefer to be thought of as inept rather than frauds. That right?
What is that legal axiom?
The truth is a valid defense against the charge of slander.
It’s pretty damn bad when she speaks the truth and they turn in into “beyond pale” article. I’d LOVE the opportunity to take them “beyond pale”....they’d never forget it, assuming they lived thru it.
