How the News Reacted: Huckabee Sanders v Karem

This is a new segment in which I look at various news agencies as well as the people involved in the topic and how that topic played out across the political spectrum via Twitter.  Today's topic is yesterday's exchange between Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Brian Karem.

So, when we are wrong we correct ourselves but when has POTUS ever done that? We are not FAKE news.

Let's clear some things up about why that caption is completely wrong (and ignorant).

Total Not Recall

For the Sessions testimony you can watch it here.

I know this is Thursday and the Jeff Sessions hearing was on Tuesday, but there was a lot to process and go over both visually and mentally.  For one thing I was right that Sessions would be the guy that would take the "bullet" for Trump in this hearing.  He wasn't going to answer a lot of questions, but the way he tried to dodge the questions actually made it worse for Trump instead of saving his face.  Let's get down to the big parts of the hearing....
