Biden spokeswoman promises pivot from Trump-era press relations

After four years of extreme tension between the news media and Donald Trump’s White House, incoming White House press secretary Jen Psaki is promising a much more respectful and informative relationship under Joe Biden’s administration.

“I think more than any point in history, and I don’t want to be overly dramatic … part of the job of the White House press secretary is to rebuild trust with the American people,” Psaki told National Public Radio in an interview released on Thursday.

“My goal every day will, of course, be to be truthful and transparent and to help peel the curtains back for not just the media and reporters, of course, those are the people in the room, but for the American people,” she said.

Without naming her four predecessors who served Trump, Psaki’s comments can be interpreted as a criticism of them, all of whom were accused of dodging transparency and peddling falsehoods to reporters.

Just about anything is better than Trump and his misadministration. That fuckface really lowered the bar.

Slavered all over him. Challenged his or his spokesliars' bs? Pointed out to the public that the bs was spewing? Diligently searching for the truth?? Having a hard time remembering.

What I do know is how differently they will be covering the Biden/Harris administration. We are already seeing how it will go. Ms. Psaki has her work cut out for her.

knew Trump was a depraved sadistic sociopath but because they hated the Clintons, Hillary in particular, they rebranded the malignant imbecile and sold him as a viable candidate ("He'll change once he's in the White House"...how'd that work out, assholes?!!)..but then their monster decided to do a little rebranding of his own...FAKE NEWS...oh my!...and still the media fawned, bowed, and scraped..and why not...the callous cretin "sold copy"...never fuck with the bottom line!... looking forward to media Trump withdrawal ...should be interesting...

the MSM. As far as I'm concerned, both groups need some serious ass-kicking.
