Spicer used his first appearance in the White House to accuse the media of misrepresenting crowd sizes at Trump's inauguration, calling comparisons between it and Obama's record 2009 crowds "deliberately false reporting".
"Photographs of that inaugural proceedings were intentionally framed in a way, in one particular tweet, to minimize the enormous support that had gathered on the National Mall," Spicer said.
"This was the largest audience to ever witness and inauguration, period, both in person and around the globe."
He's gone out there and defied the odds over and over and over again. And he keeps getting told what he can't do by this narrative that's out there. And he exceeds it every single time.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer wants Trump to get a fair go.
And I think there's an overall frustration when you -- when you turn on the television over and over again and get told that there's this narrative that you didn't win. You weren't going to run. You can't pick up this state.
But when you're constantly getting told that can't be true, we doubt that you can do this, this won't happen, and that's the narrative when you turn on television every single day, it's a little frustrating.
Today is day three of Trump's presidency, and time will tell how Spicer's relationship with the media -- and the truth -- develops.
If one thing is true, it's that fake news can come from many sources.
