ABC: Spicer Had to ‘Reset’ After Media ‘Tongue Lashing’ Failed

[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists at ABC on Tuesday cheered White House Secretary Sean Spicer’s “reset” and the need to “repair his heated relationship with reporters.” Talking to Good Morning America's George Stephanopoulos, reporter Jon Karl recounted his demand that Spicer pledge to tell only the truth. Karl pushed the idea that the White House needed to back down from reporters: “It was a clear reset, George. You know, Sean Spicer went into this briefing room over the weekend because President Trump was upset and wanted him to come out here and deliver a tongue lashing at the press. He did that. It did not go over well.”
