Her lies have become so blatant that CNN is actually considering banning Kellyanne Conway from their network. And Conway, not surprisingly, is lying about it. When Mediaite reported on CNN’s concerns over her lack of credibility, Conway responded via Twitter:
CNN’s Choice Not To Feature Conway During Yesterday’s Shows Was Reportedly Because Of ‘Credibility’ Issues https://t.co/5fNsy9rvQe pic.twitter.com/Q66w8ZZsua

CNN was quick to respond, pointing to Conway telling yet another lie by citing “facts” as opposed to Conway’s infamous “alternative facts”:
. @KellyannePolls was offered to SOTU on Sunday by the White House. We passed. Those are the facts.

If Conway had any hopes of squirming out of this set of lies, those were quickly dashed by a helpful Mika Brzezinski, co-host of Morning Joe, who revealed that CNN was not the first to decline Conway’s presence for that very reason:
.@CNNPR @KellyannePolls you are not the first.

This is an implication that even Morning Joe apparently has some standards – a surprise to many, no doubt, used to Scarborough and Brzezinski peddling a few falsehoods of their own.
It turns out that Conway, who calling those who criticized her lies “haters” – apparently in the Trump administration something worse than liars.
She says she misspoke. She didn’t. She lied and kept repeating that lie until she got caught. And now she’s lying about lying, calling honest people “haters” and lying some more about the loss of any credibility she still had.
In most cases, such gratuitous dishonesty would be professional suicide. In Trump’s world, her steadfast refusal to admit to a lie only makes her more valuable than ever. It will be interesting to see if other media outlets follow CNN’s example.
