Psaki asked whether skeptics think the U.S. military is "not providing accurate information and ISIS is providing accurate information."
The reporter did not back down:"But I mean, the U.S. has not always been straightforward about what happens with civilians, And I mean, that is a fact."
Then State Department, spokesman Ned Price was repeatedly asked for evidence of the U.S. government's claim that Russia plans to create a "false flag" video as a pretext for invading Ukraine. Price responded: "If you doubt the credibility of the U.S. government, of the British government, of other governments and want to, you know, find solace in information that the Russians are putting out, that is for you to do."
