Let me be clear: His obligation to be honest when talking with the media is based upon his perception of the media.

The idea that lying to the media is NOT lying to the American people is BS, very easily proven. If I, as a private citizen, was to ask Lewandowski the same questions at the same time the media asked him those questions, would he tell me the truth? Or would he have to know my character before he decided whether or not to tell me the truth?
