Biden Press Secretary: Briefing Room Won’t Be A ‘Platform For Propaganda’ | Talking Points Memo

”…a move that would represent a swift departure from the kind of false information peddling that has become routine in President Donald Trump’s administration.”

You misspelled ”shameless lying and NoKo-style agitprop”.

After the three shameless liars and a woman that was too drunk to give press conferences. The job of Press Secretary must be the easiest in the country. All they she has to do is show up sober, smile and say “good afternoon” and she will be miles ahead of any the harpies and morons that occupied the position during the Trumptastrophe.

All kidding aside, the folks that think Biden is going to immediately raise taxes, open the borders, declare Hunter Secretary of the Treasury, make Spanish our national language and ban all internal combustion engines immediately and with no notice and oh yeah, put AOC on the dollar bill, won’t know the damn difference.

“Biden Press Secretary: Briefing Room Won’t Be A ‘Platform For Propaganda’”

That’s all well and good, but it does mean we won’t be on pins and needles each time Kaleigh McEnany comes to the podium wondering 'Will this be the time the cross she so ostentatiously displays - always out where it can be seen - bursts into flame?"

So… we aren’t going to start this administration with a big lie about the inaugural crowd?

They started by insisting on a NoKo style lie and they’ll go out doing it.

Actually, it would be easy to transform the briefing room from “a platform for propaganda”.

Just revoke a few press credentials.

No Fox, OANN, or Newsmax; no propaganda spewing disguised as questions.
