Oh lord, G. Orwell and F. scott were right, doublethink can happen and it is happening. 1984 is starting to look like the work of a prophet. 

If you count only the physical visitors, media is right (despite the rain and the fact that entry often was blocked by protesters)
If you count in the online viewers that Spicer brought into the discussion, Trump had more viewers than any president before and he was given that information.

Both sides are right, depending on the viewpoint so where is the problem. The fake news story is the media claiming that Trump meant physical watchers while he was referring to all watchers (physical + online).

There are zero lies here just different perspectives and mainstream media that want to destroy Trump at any cost. The problem is that too many people are blindly believing the media without checking the real facts.

Two things. This is the second time Trump made such a claim about his win. Second! How many lies can he say and blame them on people who gave him the information? Seriously. That's no excuse.

Second. Nope. "That was the largest audience to witness an inauguration, period. Both in person and around the globe".

That is a lie. A lie.

The irony is strong in the bolded text.
