The White House pretends to offer information to reporters, and the press pretends to scrutinize it, all while really working together to screw Americans.
If ever one day and one incident explained the problem with the elite media in Washington, April 6 seems as good as any. On that day, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki brandished a binder at the daily press briefing, claiming it contained information regarding Covid spending that the Biden administration had provided to Congress:
This is 385 pages of information we have given to Capitol Hill and briefed them on how COVID funding has been spent, what we need, what the needs are. These are the kind of details we have provided and constantly briefed members on the Hill to make clear to them what the impact will be if we do not get this funding. You can have access to this for a prop if you would like it as well. We’ll make copies for you.
Want to take a guess how many “reporters” bothered to ask Psaki for the information she theatrically waved around? A grand total of one.
Therein lies the relationship between this administration and press corps: The White House pretends to offer information to reporters, and the press pretends to scrutinize it—while in reality both care more about promoting themselves than actual transparency and accountability in government.

Why is a Leftist MSNBC opinion host doing press conferences from the WH podium?
Which is why they stashed another 10 billion in the 33 billion Ukraine funding bill.
Good question. I saw an article a short while back questioning the legality of her continuing in this position while hired by MSNBC... I’ll look for it..
You can have access to this for a prop if you would like it as well.

Prop? As in fake stage prop or for propaganda?
Not someone most, if any, of us would recognize, but someone to pay attention to perhaps.
Got to admit, this is the first time I’ve heard of ‘Stat News.’
Thank you so much for naming the reporter.
I’ve never heard the name, but I won’t forget it and she should be thanked also.

Note to The Federalist: That the Fourth Estate has long been a fifth column is not news...
Meanwhile, medical mistakes likely have killed more Americans annually than CoupFlu, and I’ll bet that the number of goofs is soaring...
So ‘Stat News’ appears to b a wee bit ‘woke?’
Raggedy anne lied? What’s the white house spokesmodel job coming to if we can’t get the truth from them.... /S
The Ministry of Truth Czarina Nina Jankowicz has given dispensation to the left and the enemedia to lie like Satan.
Is her picture in the dictionary next to “Dumb-a$$ liar” yet?
