The war for the minds of American’s is in full force in a way that we may have never seen before. The idea of an unbiased media is almost laughable at this point, and the White House has had to go to war in order to get their message out in a way that isn’t so twisted it’s unrecognizable.
A favorite pass time of the liberal media has been to blame anything and everything on the Russians. No one knows this better than White Hosue Press Secretary Sean Spicer. He is the front line of defense against the onslaught of journalists, looking for that incriminating sound bite to make them a star.
“With all these investigations, questions of what is is, how does this administration try to revamp its image? Two and a half months in you got this Yates story today, you got other things going on, you got Russia, you got wiretapping…”
“No we don’t have that,” Spicer interrupted. “I’ve said it from the day that i got here until whatever, that there’s no connection. You’ve got Russia.”
“If the president puts Russian salad dressing on his salad tonight, somehow that’s a Russian connection!” he added, to a silent room.

While it’s obviously a reporters job to get answers to the questions his readers/viewers have, at some point I think they are just beating a dead horse. Drudging this particular issue up over and over again is not only bad for the White House, it’s bad for Americans. Because we need to hear real news, and because it’s distracting from the real issues.
While press briefings shouldn’t be a laughing matter, you’ve got to admit, that salad joke was pretty funny.
