And believe, some in the press corps will do this.

It is unbelievable that the White House would ask this. And it is even more disturbing that the press would even give this a millisecond of consideration.

The WH “reporters” and the current press secretary both play on Team Biden.

the press can't really do its job

Today, this is objectively true.

The requests prompted concerns among the White House press corps, whose members, like many reporters, are sensitive to the perception that they are coordinating with political communications staffers.

Oh yes, they are mighty sensitive to that pesky perception, but just fine with the reality of coordinating with the RATS.

The dishonesty about why there was a contentious atmosphere in the press conferences during the Trump administration is breathtaking.

A former boss told me that no question is tough if properly answered.

I'm fine with a reporter being asked what he/she wants to talk about - it allows the respondee to be better prepared. Asking for a reporter's specific question is not right.

It's a fine line, and I find it funny that some WHC's are pushing back on this. I would think they would be all in on helping Slow Joe...

Why not provide the answers in advance, too?

Ah STFU, you presstitutes. Quit pretending that you were planning to ask any tough questions. Nobody believes you, especially your fellow presstitutes.

Reporter 1: “What’s the President’s favorite ice cream flavor?”
Psaki: “I’ll circle back to you on that.”

Reporter 2: “Does the President prefer kittens or puppies?”
Psaki: “I’ll circle back to you on that.”

Reporter 3: “Does the President like to cuddle up with Dr. Jill on rainy days and read books?”
Psaki: “I’ll circle back to you on that.”

Reporter 4: “How much lucre did bagman Hunter bring the Big Guy from China?”
Psaki: “Guards!! Get that guy out of here!”

Maybe Jen Psaki just want’s to reduce the amount of “circling back” she has to do because she has no clue what’s going on in the Biden Administration.

Biden being in the grasp of Dementia they need to be able to teleprompter, in advance, ANY and ALL answers to question he might receive.

By summer he will be stepping down for whatever reasons they conjure up... it'll be time to make way for America's first woman President Kamala "the Tamala" Harris.

I predict she will be hated more profusely than Biden.

She DOES NOT "register" well with other women.

“It is unbelievable that the White House would ask this.”

Asking for questions in advance is one thing. Refusing to recognize a reporter who didn’t state their questions in advance is.

There’s nothing wrong with occasionally being unable to answer a question.

Listeners can tell when the person receiving the questions is not being reasonable or honest or is being pompous.

If this article is true and questions known in advance then why so many circle backs ?

So... they're admitting that "Circle Back Girl" Psaki is clueless, can't answer questions, and unnecessary? Why even have "reporters" if the questions have been communicated beforehand?

President Trump brought in two outstanding Press Secretaries; Sarah Sanders and Kayleigh McEnany, both of whom tower intellectually over the entire Xao Bai-Din regime.

From the song "Hollaback Girl":
This press meeting is bananas
B-a-n-a-n-a-s
I'm too dumb to know the facts
Let's just leave it at that
'cause I'm the Circleback Girl
I'll have to circle back

I'm too dumb to know the facts
Let's just leave it at that
'cause I'm the Circleback Girl
I'll have to circle back
Ooh, ooh, I just stepped in it, I keep stepping in it
