WH Press Secretary Isn’t Even Trying Anymore With Softball Interviews


CNN’s Brian Stelter was faced backlash for what appeared to be a softball interview with White House press secretary Jen Psaki, in which his first question focused on what the media “gets wrong” in covering the Biden White House.

Stelter began the interview with, “The White House press secretary faces some unique challenges. Busy summer ahead – infrastructure, election reform.”

“What does the press get wrong when covering Biden’s agenda? When you watch the news, when you read the news, what do you think we get wrong?” he asked.

“Some of our muscles have atrophied,” Psaki responded, suggesting that the media may have forgotten the amount of time it takes to get legislation passed when criticizing the administration.

“I don’t know if that’s the press getting it wrong,” Psaki continued. “I’ll leave you to the critique of that, Brian.”

Newsbusters news analyst Nicholas Fondacaro accused Stelter’s opening questions of “bootlicking.”

Later on during the interview, Stelter asked Psaki to offer more advice for journalists, urging her to share guidance for reporters “to stay close to the truth in this world of lies.”

Several other biased questions included, “Five months in, do you feel like that you’ve made any progress with … defeating the lies?” and “Given the craziness we’re seeing from the GOP, what kind of country is this going to be?”

The hardest-hitting question Stelter asked Psaki by far was why President Biden hasn’t held more than one solo press conference, which Psaki scooted past, noting that he “takes questions several times a week.”

Once again, pressing issues that were notably absent were questions about Biden’s ongoing border crisis and the White House’s continued blind trust in chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci despite his new email controversy.
