After promising a new era of 'trust and transparency,' it's now come out that the Biden administration is stage-managing even its spin.
According to the Daily Beast:
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.
So now for Team Biden, it's all pick and choose. And according to the Beast, the White House spin is only to better serve us all:
“Our goal is to make the daily briefing as useful and informative as possible for both reporters and the public,” a White House spokesperson said. “Part of meeting that objective means regularly engaging with the reporters who will be in the briefing room to understand how the White House can be most helpful in getting them the information they need. That two-way conversation is an important part of keeping the American people updated about how government is serving them.”
Translation: Got a question about ice cream? Glad to answer. Got a question about Hunter's business dealings? To heck with you, deplorable. The press conference format of supposedly spontaneous ask-and-answer from officials and reporters, is now a relic, left in place just for show. Get ready for lots of dog and ice-cream questions to follow.

Is she afraid of “fake news” reporting?
It’s outrageous but expected in a totalitarian military junta.
Having watched some snippets of her pressers the woman isn’t very sharp to begin with. She’s way out of her league and often clueless when trying to respond to a question! She’s a perfect match for her equally dumb boss!
Fearing Peter Ducey?
Pravda would be proud.
Worst press sec in history!!!!
Why has Biden/Harris ordered the military occupation of DC?
They did this during the campaign too. They not only screened all questions in advance but also gave the press questions to ask.
And this Psaki dingbat isn't even a fifth-rate TV actress.
Because they’re all in this reset together. Nothing Biden does, says, destroys, annihilates, burn or confiscates will ever be questioned. Although we will learn interesting things like his favorite color, ice cream, clothier and movie!!
Jen Pakistani will have to circle round on that like a turd in a toilet.
The press conferences are posted to youtube. The “fine” folks at youtube have been caught altering the “dislike” counts multiple times per video to keep the “like” count ahead of the “dislike” count. The comments are pretty negative overall. I go there occasionally to “dislike” and add remarks about her lame remarks. The requirement for reporters to submit questions in advance will be a new thing for me to comment on. This is the only way many people will ever know about it.
No more news just propaganda.
Biden has been President for more than 2 weeks and the main stream media hasn’t commented on Biden prescreening the questions from the press? I’ve watched most of the weekday evening news programs from ABC and CBS and they haven’t criticized the press secretary Jen Psaki yet. The press definitely criticized Sean Spicer and other Trump press secretaries. Anthony Scaramucchi was only the director of communications for 10 days and he was criticized.
He is just copying Obama rules for pressers.
But even when knowing questions in advance, she deflects by saying she needs to circle back and doesn’t have an answer.
Can yiu imagine if Kayleigh McEnany had said she needed to circle back over and over?
Psaki could NEVER endure the hostile press that Trumps press secretaries had to endure.
C'mon, who's gonna protest? In their slavish devotion, the enemedia will remain silent about any shortcomings of their masters!
She is afraid that someone e on the left will. Miraculously find a conscience and ask0 hard questions and expose the fact that6 the left stole the election.
She and everyone associated with biden. Know darn well they stole this election and are acting just like a guilty person would act, covering up their sins, or so they think, and gaslight g, and brow eating anyone who dares question the authentic tacitly of the election
