The Much Awaited End of KJP

In a 1977 release, the Talking Heads included a lyric in one of their songs that somehow foresaw the approach to be employed by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre (KJP): “You’re talking a lot, but you’re not saying anything.”

In the view of many observers, the daily double-talk from the White House podium by KJP came on like a come-on from a carnival barker: instead of presenting straightforward, unvarnished truths from the briefing room lectern, listeners were subjected to a daily diet of kaleidoscope logic.

The main reason her versions of events worked for as long as they did was that the briefing room was populated by a band of willing accomplices, happily lapping up the White House spokesperson’s blather. Based on years of softball questions that the White House legacy media corps put forth, it was apparent that the majority of the reporters were content to run with KJP’s falsehoods in order to maintain their access to “unnamed, high level Administration sources.”

How could this be? The legacy news organizations operated on one unspoken assumption: there were not many scholars among their readers or viewers who ruminated on Socrates’s time-tested maxim that “the only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing.”

Consequently, KJP and the White House press corps made bank on the general public not weighing how much they did not know and what was being omitted. But American news consumers, after years of confronting reality in their daily lives, experienced enormous living cost increases and faced massive spikes in crime. As a result, they were not inclined to wave off the daily White House gaslighting when it came time to vote.

Here are some of KJP’s most egregious examples that turned many casual political observers into vigorous President Trump supporters:

Nope. Not the one I was thinking of. This is way to flattering. Some FReeper has the look alike cabbage patch pic out there. :>)

I admit, I do not know the rules of the White House press core.

I don’t know who decides
when the president will come and speak to them.

I think Trump should set aside another room for
New media. Podcasts and Independent journalists.

Then he only goes to the new media when he wants to talk.
And his spokesperson can just go to the new media.

Then the White House press core will have to get the information from
New Media.

I hear she's switching to show business. There's a ready-made role open for her in the upcoming revival of "The Little Rascals" series.

Karine Jean-Pierre will write a book, and it will be a best seller.

I'll wait for the movie. Not that I'll go see it....
