War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Journalism, or at least what figures as journalism nowadays, got front-and-center today in another dust-up between the marvelous Jen Psaki, and Fox News‘ Peter Doocy, one tone-deaf dumb-ass: Highlights via Raw Story: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki disputed Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy on Wednesday about the importance of voting rights. During a press…
(Jen Psaki press gaggle onboard Air Force One late last month; Olivier Douliery/AFP/Getty Images, and found here). Journalism in the nowadays appears a whiplash occupation, especially coming off the terrible T-Rump news-coverage days, and apparently now the media is working toward getting a handle on Joe Biden’s low-key approach, while at the same time seeking…
Once more, White House press secretary Jen Psaki today popped not only a reporter, but an asshole Republian who doesn’t know his ass from T-Rump’s butt. Psaki can really work: Details via Mediaite this afternoon: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki delivered a curt response to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) for his criticism of President Joe Biden’s social and television media…

And offers more control, especially with swatting…
A major portal for the public into any White House is through the press briefing/conference, they’re either chaotic bullshit or reassuring to facts and reality. One really refreshing aspect of Joe Biden’s presidency so far is the question-and-answer sessions with Biden’s White House press secretary, Jen Psaki. In her very-first appearance before reporters last Thursday,…
One most-wonderful scene today with the new Biden adminstration is the return of the ‘sane’ and qualified press briefing without bullshit and ‘alternative facts:’ I missed most of todays events as they unfolded as I had a follow-up medical exam in the afternoon at UC Davis in Sacramento. However, I did catch Biden’s inauguration this…
