Journalists Praising Psaki Should Remember: Spin Doctors Are Not on Your Side
FAIRNESS & ACCURACY IN REPORTING ^ | 10 Feb, 2021 | ARI PAUL

One arena of US executive power that the media establishment is glad to have return to its pre-Trump mode is White House press relations, embodied in Joe Biden press secretary Jen Psaki. Former President Donald Trump’s press secretaries, like Sean Spicer with his iffy Holocaust history (Vox, 4/11/17) and mendacious Kayleigh McEnany (Vanity Fair, 1/26/21), turned any given White House press conference into a Terry Gilliam fever dream. Any spokesperson for the new administration might seem like a bit of fresh air after such lunacy. But let’s be cautious.

There has certainly been corporate media fanfare over what journalists call a return to normal in White House press conferences with Psaki (CNN’s Reliable Sources, 1/24/21; New York Times, 1/20/21; Independent, 1/29/21). In a friendly interview, Rachel Maddow (MSNBC, 1/29/21) told Psaki: “The presentation that we are hearing from you in the briefing room…. I feel like it’s too nice,” which elicited a laugh from Psaki. Maddow said, “I believe you are telling the truth,” a validation of Psaki’s promise to bring “transparency and truth” back to executive briefings (Daily Mail, 1/20/21).
