Jen Psaki

Though not anywhere near the DEFCON-1 levels seen on social media and TV on Monday afternoon after it was announced that Elon Musk had bought Twitter, a few White House reporters expressed their misgivings during the Psaki show, including one reporter who was concerned that “purveyors of...misinformation” and “disinformation” would be allowed “to speak” on Twitter and it would be a company…

The purchase of Twitter by a free-speech advocate, billionaire Elon Musk, has prompted iconic conservative commentator Mark Levin to return to the social media behemoth -- and he wasted no time getting back to true form.

This week, a federal judge in Florida finally struck down a federal mask mandate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. An extensive number of executive branch agencies have acted in an authoritarian manner throughout the COVID-19 era: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration infamously attempted to cram down a vaccine mandate on every private employer in America, a…

On Wednesday’s episode of Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace on the failed streaming service CNN+, the eponymous host interviewed White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. Instead of it being a softball interview as you might expect, Wallace actually challenged Psaki on a number of topics. 

Another day, another wild episode of the final season of the Psaki Show. This time with a well-deserved grilling by Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy, and some rather bizarre questions from a couple of other reporters in the room. 

Like the quisling that he is, CNN’s Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter defended White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Friday afternoon after she said Fox News’s Peter Doocy “sound[s] like a stupid son of a bitch” by working at Fox News, arguing “she didn’t really criticize him” and was “relaxing” in her final moments before leaving for MSNBC.

Thursday night during a taping of the Obama bros podcast Pod Save America, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki implicitly doubled down on President Biden’s insistence that Fox News reporter Peter Doocy is a “stupid son of a bitch,” arguing he works for a network that “provides questions that...might make anyone sound like” one.

Hump Day marked a tough day for Jen Psaki as she reportedly careens toward the series finale of The Psaki Show as the White House press secretary faced tough questions on inflation and another off-the-cuff remark from President Biden about Russia’s unprovoked war against Ukraine, including one that questioned whether there needs to be “an asterisk next to anything that the President says.”

Given the busy news week, we wanted on Monday morning to recap the best and the worst from Thursday and Friday’s episodes of The Psaki Show and hone in on Fox’s Peter Doocy sparring with Press Secretary Jen Psaki over COVID cases around the President and Vice President and then free cellphones for illegal immigrants.

The director of former President Barack Obama’s National Economic Council landed some solid punches and dished out some harsh warnings for the Federal Reserve in a recent Washington Post op-ed.  

Overnight, CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy reported that there’s a contingent of NBC News staff that are “troubled by and have expressed dismay” at MSNBC hiring Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki to host a show before she even left her post. And during Thursday’s Reliable Sources Daily on CNN+, host Brian Stelter expressed his honest surprise that the folks at NBC would have an issue…

CBS News had serious internal "turmoil" on its hands when they hired former Trump Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney as an analyst, since he is outside their ideological bubble. But CNN's Oliver Darcy reports there was also unhappiness at NBC News when reports emerged that they hired Biden press secretary Jen Psaki as a TV host for their Peacock streaming service.

Wednesday’s Psaki Show marked a contrast between the constructive and the absurd as Fox’s Peter Doocy engaged the White House press secretary on questions surrounding President Biden’s son Hunter and brother Jim and, as other reporters would as well, immigration. But in contrast, others expressed discomfort with a lack of COVID restrictions, raised concerns about right-wing terrorism, and…

Tuesday during a late-afternoon Psaki Show, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy questioned the White House press secretary over calls for Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to give full independence from the Biden White House to investigate First Son Hunter Biden and his life of corruption. Predictably, Psaki wanted nothing to do with this.
