The Circle Woman: Report Shows Biden Staff Prescreening Psaki Press Briefing Questions
Breitbart ^ | Feb 1,2021 | HANNAH BLEAU

Posted on 02/02/2021 5:45:38 AM PST by Hojczyk

Biden staffers have prescreened reporters ahead of Jen Psaki’s briefings to see what they plan to ask the White House press secretary, according to a report from the left-wing Daily Beast.

The outlet cited “three sources with knowledge of the matter” and “written communications” that revealed that the Biden administration has “already on occasion probed reporters to see what questions they plan on asking new White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki when called upon during briefings” less than two weeks into the new administration.

would have some idea of what reporters plan to ask prior to formally presenting their questions. Despite that, her “circle back” answers on tough questions have become a staple of her press briefings. It remains unclear which, if any, reporters cooperated with the administration’s inquiries. Leaders of the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) have reportedly urged reporters not to accommodate the administration in that capacity:

However, the Biden administration’s pre-screening of questions continues to cause concern among reporters.

“The press can’t really do its job in the briefing room if the White House is picking and choosing the questions they want,” a White House correspondent said, according to the Daily Beast. “That’s not really a free press at all.”

The Dem circle jerk is back.

Psaki is on borrowed time now.

Soon to be replaced by a transgender Press Secretary who is much more deep in THE FORCE.

It would depend upon if they are ‘screening’ and preventing questions ...

Or if they are preparing and prioritizing the questions.

In theory, submitting questions in advance would allow the ‘circleback’ hack to not have to ‘circle back yet again’

It’s what friends do. She is one of them, no one wants anything embarrassing to happen at one of these shows. Not that it would get any coverage if something embarrassing did happen.

NO ONE is gonna believe that!! It presumes our ‘media’ has retained professional ethics...which in ITSELF, is wholly laughable.

Are there any examples of Psaki actually “circling back” to answer some of the questions she was initially unable to answer?

Ha. That communist POS thought she had come up with the perfect comeback that would absolve her of having to come up with answers to the reporters’ questions..

Now she is exposed for being unqualified and unprepared.

PSAKI-—ANOTHER BIDEN FLOP
She gets the MSM’s questions in advance and still cant answer them.

Psaki’s White House Communications Team staffers pre-interview Biden suckups——members of the
(cough) White House press corps————to get their questions in advance of Psaki’s televised press briefings.

A hilarious video of Psaki is making the rounds-——telling journos over and over “I’ll circle back on that.”

Of course citizen, press “briefings” will be staged, scripted and choreographed. Perhaps, even rehearsed.

For your own protection, pretend you don’t know this. That should be easy to do. We already pretend sloJOe is President, that people are whatever sex they imagine, etc., etc.

“Or if they are preparing and prioritizing the questions.”

Example of a high priority question: “Mr President, how are you able to personally, as a mere human being, deal with the immense daily love and adoration from all Americans, nay the entire planet, after you’ve brought all of us together in peace and harmony?”

“Feeding the questions to the CircleBack gal in advance.”

They should hire Donna Brazille to handle that.

She has valuable experience along those lines...
