If You Have To Tell People You’re ‘Not The Enemy Of The People,’ You Are

‘Come on The View!’ MSNBC Biden Flack Defends Him Refusing Pressers   ...You can take the press secretary out of the White House, but you can’t take the White House out of the press secretary. Despite now being a member of the press (after her ethically dubious hiring by NBC/MSNBC), former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki appeared on Monday’s edition of The View and defended President Biden’s refusal to do press conferences and his desire to only grant sit down interviews to friendly media outlets that give him a tongue bath.
"Psaki was teed up by faux-conservative co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who framed her question about Biden’s lack of “press availabilities” as her providing free campaign advice:" ...

The Babylon Bee finds room for parody in the press: Jen Psaki Walks Back Claims That She Ever Worked For Biden Administration   . . ." 'We need to walk back this notion that I ever worked for or represented the Biden administration," she said to Fox New's Peter Doocy. "To be honest, I was more like an unpaid intern. I really didn't do anything here. I am in no way associated with Biden or his policies or the consequences of his policies. I would say, and the President agrees, that any assertions to the contrary are unfounded."
" 'But Jen, come on!" retorted Doocy. "Didn't you run interference for the Biden administration for over a year, repeating his lies and distortions while his policies wreaked havoc on the country? I was here watching you the whole time!" Doocy was then pelted with spitballs by the other reporters in the room and ran out sobbing.
" 'We'll circle back to that question," said Psaki.  
"According to sources, Psaki will make a move to MSNBC, where she will represent the people who tell Biden what to do."

"Though he said nothing had changed with the program’s editorial content — nope, their lying on behalf of Democrats was coming along just fine! — Pelley said Owens “felt he lost the independence that honest journalism requires.” In other words, Paramount executives might have told Bill that perhaps 50 back-to-back segments on “why Trump isn’t Hitler, but kind of is” weren’t really necessary right now."

. . ."60 Minutes hasn’t been a respectable program for about two decades now, which is about how long Bill Owens was with the show. He didn’t sacrifice just his job, he helped squander all of CBS’s credibility by using it to prop up one political party and demean half the country. Recall the Trump interview Owens oversaw in 2020, during which 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl denied the veracity of the Hunter Biden laptop story and Trump’s demonstrably true claim that his 2016 campaign was spied on by feds. Yet we’re supposed to be moved by his resignation and angry that it might change things at 60 Minutes. If only." 

'People Warned Us About How Bad This Was Going to Be': Colbert and Maddow Spew Bile About Trump, GOP

"Colbert kicked off the festivities by lying about Trump's "obvious incompetence and disregard for our institutions.' " 


. . ."The people who warned you about the end of the planet as we know it were you, Colbert, the lady geniuses of "The View," the so-called "mainstream" media lapdog media, and other Trump-loathers, so please."

MSNBC Forced to Retract False Claim About Kash Patel 

. . ."Figliuzzi also claimed that Patel’s daily intelligence briefings had been reduced from daily to “maybe twice weekly.” 

"Again, he cited anonymous sources and offered no proof.

"Yet, despite the complete lack of evidence, those remarks quickly circulated across digital news platforms and social media.

"Outlets such as the Daily Mail, Daily Beast, and MSN repeated the claims without independent verification." . . .
