White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki predicted Sunday that President Joe Biden’s first cat would “dominate the internet” when it is publicly revealed for the first time. Psaki responded to questions about the cat in a video posted to social media where she answered questions from users on Twitter.

The Washington Post attempted to throw an embarrassing story about now-Vice President Kamala Harris down the memory hole but reversed course after Reason and others exposed the paper’s attempt to become Kamala Harris’ personal Pravda. How embarrassing.Back on July 23, 2019, when Harris was a lowly senator from California and one of the many 2020 Democratic candidates for president, the Post dared to run quotes from an unflattering interview. How impertinent!In the original version of the article, Harris compared life amid the rigors of the campaign trail to living behind bars and pleading for food and water.Here are the first...

White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield was interviewed Thursday morning by CNN host Alisyn Camerota regarding how the Biden administration will deal with networks that are “willfully lying” or spreading dishonest information. Camerota asked Bedingfield about a line in Biden’s inaugural speech in which he talked about fighting “lies told for power and for profit,” and if he was specifically talking about certain media outlets that allegedly lied about the 2020 election results. Camerota added in her question: “We know who they are. They are right-wing companies; some are more fringe than others, at this point, or more extreme than...

All three networks on Inauguration Day played a 90 minute special devoted to praising America and patriotism. And while one can question timing of the special (this didn’t happen four years ago), the content was positive and patriotic. ABC and NBC mostly used the half hour prior to the special with panels. CBS, however, offered a segment on how racism may finally be ending now that Joe Biden is president. Reporter Peter Van Sant re-interviewed children the network talked to during Donald Trump’s presidency. These kids were either undocumented or minorities. Apparently, though, bigotry is now finished. Talking to one...

President Biden may cast his arrival in the White House as a return to business as usual at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but there’s at least one way he’s breaking from prevailing presidential tradition: he wears a Rolex.At his inauguration, Mr. Biden laid his hand on the family Bible wearing a stainless steel Rolex Datejust watch with a blue dial, a model that retails for more than $7,000 and is a far cry from the Everyman timepieces that every president not named Trump has worn conspicuously in recent decades.To many, a president wearing a luxury watch might not seem unusual. Shouldn’t...

At a time when legacy publications are increasingly seen as playing for one political "team" or the other, this type of editorial decision will not do anything to fix that perception.UPDATE: As of 1:15 p.m. on January 22, The Washington Post has updated its website and URLs to restore the original version of the Kamala Harris profile detailed in Reason's post, below. "We should have kept both versions of the story on the Post's site (the original and updated one), rather than redirecting to the updated version," Kris Coratti, the Post's vice president for communications, told Reason in a statement...

The Washington Post scrubbed an unflattering anecdote of Vice President Kamala Harris crassly laughing at the thought of a prisoner begging for a drink of water — then backtracked Friday after an eagle-eyed reporter took notice. Harris made the comments in a July 2019 Washington Post profile about her relationship with her sister and trusted aide, Maya Harris, when the former California prosecutor was running for president. But that story disappeared from the site — with its link redirecting to a newer version published on Jan. 11, sans anecdote.

The New York Times reportedly canceled an editor's contract after she tweeted that she had 'chills' watching Joe Biden land at Joint Base Andrews the day before the inauguration and slammed Trump for not sending him a government plane. Lauren Wolfe tweeted on Tuesday: 'Biden landing at Joint Base Andrews now. I have chills. 'The pettiness of the Trump admin not sending a military plane to bring him to D.C. as is tradition is mortifying.

President Joe Biden showed disgust at a reporter's question Thursday at the end of a briefing in which he signed 10 executive orders to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Sitting at a desk as he signed the final order, Biden heard AP White House reporter Zeke Miller ask about a previously announced goal of vaccinating 100 million Americans during the administration's first 100 days. "Shouldn't you set the goal higher? That’s basically where the U.S. is right now," Miller said. Biden smirked and replied without raising his voice. "When I announced it, you all said it was not possible. C'mon, gimme...

Just saw a local media show play back to back drooling "stories" on Commie Harris. One featured an OBVIOUS political spin piece created by the Dem campaign as a "feel good" promotion. The other was a photo of children in Indiana who supposedly spontaneously gathered to hold hands as Commie seized power.

In a decision likely to feed critics’ opinions that the major media outlets are hypocritical and biased against Republicans, the Washington Post said Wednesday it is ending a false-claims project launched at the beginning of former President Donald Trump’s term and now has “no plans” to launch a similar project as President Joe Biden begins his tenure. “The database of Trump claims was started a month after Trump became president as a way to not overwhelm our fact-checking enterprise, where the core mission is to explain complex policy issues,” Post director of communications Shani George told The Daily Caller. 0:39...

The media almost unanimously fawned over Joe Biden and the events of inauguration day with some crying over it, calling it America's 'happy ending' and gushing over new press secretary Jen Psaki who was given a remarkably warm welcome on her first day after years of hostility between the media gaggle and the person at the briefing room podium. Since Biden was inaugurated on Wednesday and even before then, some media outlets have relaxed their impartiality to welcome him and his administration with open arms. Unsurprisingly, many belong to the organizations that President Trump made enemies of throughout his presidency....

Listen to.this: MSNBC's Heilemann (@Jheil): What “was so striking to me about today [was] the sight of the Clintons and the Bushes and the Obamas — The Avengers, the Marvel superheroes back up there together all in one place.” Adds that Biden speech neared Lincoln’s 2nd inaugural.

Only the cover of the upcoming issue of Newsweek International. I wouldn't waste my time finding any articles or going to the website of this worthless birdcage liner.

A button Donald Trump used to order Diet Cokes on command while working in the Oval Office has reportedly been removed by President Joe Biden as one of a number of sweeping changes in DC over the last 24 hours. The infamous device, which had been installed at the Resolute Desk, wasn’t visible in photos captured of Biden working inside the White House on Thursday.

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill were momentarily left standing in the cold on Inauguration Day after the front doors of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue weren't opened for them – a breach of protocol caused by the firing of the chief usher of the White House hours earlier. With the world watching on, the 46th US President and his wife walked up the steps of their new home for the first time on Wednesday, as a small crowd of family members followed behind. The couple posed for photos outside the large wooden doors of the North Portico, waiving to the...

In case you missed it, The Federalist Senior Editor and FOXNews contributor Mollie Hemingway summed up yesterday's inauguration: "Yesterday was horrible to watch how the media were losing all sense of themselves. The tongue baths that they gave Joe Biden, it was just embarrassing to watch. It was like watching a Jeffrey Toobin Zoom call or something."

First daughter Ashley Biden dialed up the fashion by rocking a tuxedo at Wednesday’s virtual inaugural concert.
