I also like CNN's decision to not air the press conference live, but simply report on it after the fact (I wasn't watching CNN at the time but I've heard this is the approach they took). If the press secretary is going to consistently use his platform to spout lies, then it's totally within the media's right to deny him the use of live coverage and instead report on it later as the white house telling a lie. I hope that this catches on and the media use this approach consistently.
