Biden White House’s First Press Event

[Catseye3]

WIKI: "Jennifer Rene Psaki is an American political advisor who serves as the 34th White House Press Secretary in the Biden administration. Previously, she served as the Spokesperson for the United States Department of State and held various senior press and communications roles in the Obama White House."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

She needs to get a mask on, though.

I think these people are happy for themselves.

Mainstream outlets deserve to be criticized for their increased tilt towards ideology vs. facts. But that aside, I'm thinking the journalists are just happy to have more status back.

These are people who rose to the top of their profession and work on a prestige assignment for prestige new outlets.

I'm guessing they expect the new administration to "play by the rules"

I imagine they're relieved to be free of the burden of waking up every day wondering what stupid bullshit outrage they'll be forced to deal with. Again.

I've been a little busy the last two days and haven't really followed the news. Has Capitalism fallen yet?

My question is whether or not there's a debate that Biden had more in attendance at his inauguration than Trump did.

[xenon]

"This was a maximum attendance event. No one has maxed out all legally allocated capacity in the capitol, ever. No one. Many people are saying this makes it the most attended inauguration in history."

Or maybe they're happy the Washington party circuit is coming back.

Incidentally Biden had higher TV ratings for his inauguration, compared to 2016 - election fraud and all.

@xenon If only the Capitol invasion had been televised. Credible threats to democracy who wear furry horns are ratings gold.
