“Half of America is smitten with [White House Press Secretary] Jen Psaki, while a swath of the White House press corps [are] taken with how polite she is…. While Trumpites gleefully performed belligerence on camera, Psaki’s tone is measured and warm; … she’ll ask after your kids or your spouse … She’s sunny and can make people feel good about their interactions.”
Jessica Goldstein, Washingtonian, May 5, 2021
That the US “news” media would praise Biden press secretary Jen Psaki and contrast her with Trump’s press secretaries is not surprising. Psaki represents a Democrat president and the “news” media, which are predominately Democrats are in their Biden-protection mode. Illustrating the psychological phenomenon of “confirmation bias”, the tendency of people to see what they want to see, Jessica Goldstein gushes that half of America is “smitten” with Jen Psaki and, contrasting her with the “belligerent” “Trumpites,” gushes again that “a swath of the White House press corps sound quite taken with how polite she is.”
