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:

A DEI hire, just like Kommiela-la-la.
DEI? No she was good at it.
KJP was such a clown.
I will give her credit, she lies so easily with a straight face.

Classic Homewrecker Fake Dr - Pres Jill hire
A clown yes, but her skin (after makeup) was utterly flawless!
We saw how good K-Mac and Sarah Huckabee Sanders was under Trump so we likely had higher expectations. We weren’t prepared for Jen (Peppermint Patti) Psaki and KJP was incredibly bad.
I will give her credit, she lies so easily with a straight face.
She never “circled back.”
It will be interesting to see if the WH press misbehaves a la Jim Costa this time around. I would bet yes.
I care nothing for the insufferable, lying little twit, but she was put in the impossible situation of making Biden look coherent and to jedi mind trick the entire world into believing this deranged administration wasn’t incompetently run by a cabal of Obumagabe and a room full of Marxist millennials.
She failed, but she never stopped trying.
How appropriate a lyric? “Psycho killer, qu’est-ce que c’est?”
It was obvious from the very beginning that the “Tutti-Fruitti” spokeswoman was there for one reason only - DEI and WOKE policies.
Over time she learned how to dodge important questions by obfuscating the truth like any good political spokesperson. It was obvious though that she was way in over her head and it showed.
The “I am a person of color and gay” did not provide her with enough knowledge and Press tools to do her job representing a dud of a President.
Get ready for an astonishing change in tone and combativeness from the “journalists” once they have a Trump spokesperson to attack. Someone should start a YouTube channel to compare and contrast the treatment of Psaki and KJP vs any Trump spokesperson.
I suggest they get one of those number cages and give each correspondent a number. Turn the cage, pull a number and the person with the matching number gets to ask a question.
**It will be interesting to see if the WH press misbehaves a la Jim Costa this time around. I would bet yes.**
If I were Trump I’d give them a week before running them out of the building and replacing them with the newer generation of podcasters too appeal to the younger generation. Spend that first week ridiculing them before dropping the axe.
** “I am a person of color and gay” did not provide her with enough knowledge**
At least she wasn’t that ugly transgender admiral.
Bad timimg for her career, what with CNN & MSLSD tanking, she might not land that golden parachute job.
At least KJP wasn’t as weird as ossified Biden’s
cockeyed pick......that alarming, bewigged “admiral.”
