Well now, I can't believe that a magazine as internationally acclaimed for fair journalism as Salon. Yes, that is dripping with sarcasm. And reading some of the other articles the author of this wrote it is doubly so. This is another example of demonizing everything about a group you don;t agree with. Now, don't get me wrong. Sean Spicer was way wrong saying what he said, but it certainly isn't an indictment of the whole Trump Administration. Will there ever be a time to tone down the rhetoric? I can see the headlines now:
- after President Trump invests in cancer research and discovers a cure, "Trump investment will lead to world overcrowding and speeds up global warming."
- after we establish a colony on Mars, "Trump begins work on facility to move illegal immigrants."
- bringing factories back to the US, "Trump's policies lead to pollution problems across the country."
For friendly questions, Sean Spicer goes outside Washington: 72% of Skype questions at White House briefings come from states Trump won in 2016. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has taken Skype questions from 32 outside-the-Beltway outlets in 13 briefings. A USA TODAY analysis of transcripts shows the top questions from the Skype seats are about topics like immigration, tax reform, and infrastructure - issues the White House wants to highlight. The top questions from Washington reporters at those same briefings: Trump's allegations that former President Obama wiretapped him at Trump Tower and the president's use of intelligence and the Russia election controversy.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer resigned Friday after former Trump campaign fundraiser Anthony Scaramucci accepted the position as White House communications director.
A White House official and top GOP adviser said President Trump asked Spicer to stay on, but he resigned.
The resignation caps off one of the most tumultuous tenures for a White House press secretary, one that saw Spicer repeatedly undermined in his role as the White House's public-facing spokesman by the President's own public statements and tweets. Ref. CNN.
Considering what he had to work with I think Spencer did a good job. I think he will find employment elsewhere but what I want to see is if he will say anything about his former boss.
