NPR Touts Biden Press Secretary: 'Briefings Won't Be a Platform for Right-Wing Spin'

On Thursday’s Morning Edition, National Public Radio touted their Jen Psaki interview with the headline “Biden's Incoming Press Secretary: Briefings Won't Be A Platform For Right-Wing Spin.” As usual, NPR thinks “right-wing spin” is the opposite of their reportage….which is “objective.” Not left-wing spin!

Morning anchor Steve Inskeep had asked about how Team Biden would handle Fox, since Obama had a fairly hostile relationship. Psaki pointed out she granted an interview to Chris Wallace, but would never do so for Sean Hannity.

But which type represents the Fox reporters at the White House? Psaki insisted she’s no pushover for right-wing Acosta types: “We're not going to allow the briefing room to be a platform for propaganda, and we will shut that down as needed as well.”

Inskeep, a favorite pushover for Barack Obama, asked about the “right-wing media ecosystem” explicitly:

NPR has always acted like a left-wing advocacy organization yet they are funded with OUR money. Another area where Trump needed to kick their butt out and totally defund them but he was too accommodating for Paul Ryan, who did nothing as Speaker other than feather the nest of the wealthy with his tax cuts.

This is utter BS!

It’ll be a platform for communist agitprop and Chinese rule now.

National Public Radio is taxpayer supported as a means for the average little guy at home to somehow have a way of hearing the Dem side of the issues despite the capitalist owners’ control of the airwaves on radio. See how abyssmally stupid it is for us to keep allowing support for yet another Marxist viewpoint, BLM and LGBTQ pro-aboartion platform partially paid for by taxes?

Cities with a university nearby have as many as five or six different educational stations on FM, all with NPR feed. Examples of Detroit,Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti,East Lansing and nearby Toledo and others. All with NPR on the dial.

Because they lie incessantly, “spin” is a tool used primarily on the left. If you tell the truth, you don’t need to “spin”, unless you are a Rat and cannot safely tell the truth.

NPR is a mouthpiece for the democrats/socialists.
Apparently ‘propaganda’ is protected by the 1st amendment.
It’s okay to hate democrats...

Question Inskeep should have asked, “ Will Pres. Biden have as many Q&A sessions with the press as Pres. Trump had had ? Love to hear the answer to that one.

They’re never really specific about what they’re talking about, so “right wing spin” must be information they don’t want to hear. All dissent will be “right wing spin” and “conspiracy theory”, and “debunked” or whatever name they give it.

Briefings Won’t Be a Platform for Right-Wing Spin

It will be about cover ups and denials and pardons for the family members.

Taxpayer funded abortions, taxpayer funded PBS/NPR, tax breaks for Big Tech, and Universities ( aka socialist indoctrination centers ).

The commies are taking over, without firing a single missile at our shores.
