The White House press corps has gotten accustomed to asking "bad faith" questions that typically begin with "Many people are saying..."

White House press secretary Jen Psaki knocks that shit down immediately. "WHO is saying that?" "uhhh...people!" "okay, random people out in hallways, right?"

Watching her eviscerate the "when did the President stop beating his wife?" loaded questions is wonderful.

Yea...that's all they've done for 4 years.

And you've cheered it the whole time.

UH OH!!! That's oppression of a free press!!

DEMOCRACY IS UNDER ATTACK!!! :D

Just because you can do a 180 on a dime doesn't mean everyone else can.

Why just as recent as a couple weeks ago itt was fascism for a press secretary to do anything but lick Jim Acosta's ass while saying "orange man bad!!" ...what happened to make you TOTALLY change your view on that Rob?? :D

That was pretty awesome. Dude knew he was full of shit as soon as she dismissed it.

It's really nice to have competency back up there instead of disposable showpieces.
 
When 45 said, "a lot of people are saying" he was referring to the voices in his head.


He is certifiable. I think that he really believes that people are unfair to him and that the election was stolen from him.

Trump was treated with the same respect he gave out. He doesn't respect anyone.

The fascist republicans claim any question which attempts to confront fascist trump with the truth... or exact the truth from fascist trump... or attempts to hold trump accountable for anything is a bad faith question. LOL

What was the final count of lies and misleading statements made by fascist trump... well over 20,000 in just four years wasn't it? I'm sure it was.

Of course, after the racist fascists only referred to "black man bad" for eight years... they've now got to accuse democrats of "orange man bad"... lol. Perhaps if fascist trump ever told the truth... and i do mean EVER... the media wouldn't have to ask those nasty bad faith questions that hold him accountable for not fucking up everything he did. Can you even name ONE thing fascist trump did which was positive for the entire country?

It's a bad faith question when they do it to Communist Democrats and Communist Biden.

Why should it be different for anyone else??

Yes, and when he said "A lot of people don't know...", it was always something he didn't know until very recently, and which most people have in fact known since grade school.

But Fox News has a long history of playing this game. Their version is "Some people say", i.e. "Some people say it's a bad faith question when they do it to Communist Democrats and Communist Biden.Why should it be different for anyone else??" Which is a wonderful way of framing the debate from their right-wing point of view without acknowledging that the "some people" in question are also the people who think Obama literally handed out cash and Social Security cards to illegals at the border. And yes, it is about time we treat that nonsense with exactly the level of seriousness it deserves. :)
 
"Many people are saying" that Trump is a twitt! And I believe that!:)

Trump supporters can perform some craaaaazy sex acts.

They can suck Trump's dick while their heads are completely up his ass. And THEY seem to get off on doing it.

He signed the CARES Act.

OK, it was veto-proof. He still signed it.
 
It's a sad thing when being honest about not yet having a straight answer and offering to follow up when you do is considered negative. I grant you, you wouldn't have seen this from Sarah Sanders. She just would've pulled something out of her ear.

Dr. Fauci said the primary difference between the failed Trump administration and the Biden administration was that the Biden administration told him if he didn't know the answer to a question, admit it.

The Trumpsters demanded he have some sort of pseudo-answer and/or deflection available at all times, to avoid teh appearance of seeming "weak".
 
Many people are saying...

Many people are saying things that they do not want people saying or thinking or asking any questions about. So, they shut them down any way they can. In time it will be necessary to end all freeness of speech and limit "news" to state run propaganda outlets. Getting close to that but there is still work to be done.

Considering we just kicked out an administration that essentially used Fox News as its own mouthpiece, I wouldn't lose any sleep over that.
 
"Apparently".

Before you ask, I did try to read your link. But it's subscribers only, and I ain't giving the Daily Beast my info.

Your statement is a suspension of reality. Neither the Dems or Biden have given the Russians a free ride for Crimea, the Ukraine, putting bounties on the heads of American soldiers, or buzzing our planes and jets for over three years like Trump did.
 
Apparently Jen is asking the press to help her out with her preparation struggles. Wants the questions in advance. Good grief.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/white...iden-team-asked-them-for-questions-in-advance
From the link:
If you’re a reporter with a tough question for the White House press secretary, Joe Biden’s staff wouldn’t mind knowing about it in advance.

According to three sources with knowledge of the matter, as well as written communications reviewed by The Daily Beast, the new president’s communications staff have already on occasion probed reporters to see what questions they plan on asking new White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki when called upon during briefings.

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.
Also from the link:
This practice isn’t totally unheard-of in previous administrations, departments, or federal agencies. For instance, former President Donald Trump’s White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was known to have asked certain news outlets about their questions in advance of some major or high-profile Trump press conferences or events, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter.
