Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki may have officially departed the Biden administration but she has been one of its biggest shills since moving on to her new gig at left-wing cable television network MSNBC.
Doing her part to bolster her old boss’s chances for a second term, Psaki sat down with key members of the deeply unpopular octogenarian’s campaign team for interviews that some likened to “state TV” typically seen in totalitarian nations like North Korea.
On Sunday’s edition of “Inside With Jen Psaki,” the Democrat media shill visited with members of the Biden-Harris campaign team whom she lobbed softballs to in a segment that was less a hard-hitting exercise in unbiased journalism than it was pure party propaganda.

Among those interviewed by Psaki were Biden-Harris Deputy Campaign Manager Rob Flaherty and Campaign Communications Director Michael Tyler as well as Biden’s Principal Deputy Campaign Manager Quentin Fulks who dished the inside scoop to the rabidly partisan host.
Doing his part to promote the party line, Alex Thompson of Axios boosted Psaki’s chat with Team Biden on X.

Responses to his shilling for Psaki and Biden underscored how little credibility the media currently has in an era when it is despised and distrusted by tens of millions of Americans.
This kind of thing is described as unofficial state TV when it happens in other countries https://t.co/Cglr6Sinjx

Gee, it’s almost like she’s a partisan shill with a byline.
Must look pretty familiar to you, though.

North Korea would be proud

Gee I can’t imagine why the trust in media and journalists is so low. The lack self awareness on stuff like this is amazing. Hacks

Nothing at all revoltingly incestuous or grossly partisan about this little “conversation.” Remember when you guys used to pretend that you were nonpartisan, above it all? Seems like a distant memory now.

Straight up propaganda. The Central Committee would be absolutely proud of the work being done here.

She had a contract with NBC two months before leaving her job at the WH and none of you said a word about it. https://t.co/SljDvLemOy

“Jen’s sharp wit and relatability combined with the mastery of the subjects she covers have made her a household name across the nation,” MSNBC President Rashida Jones said in May 2022, touting the hiring of Biden’s top spinmeister. “Her extensive experience in government and on the campaign trail and perspective as a White House and Washington insider is the type of analysis that sets MSNBC apart. She’s a familiar face and trusted authority to MSNBC viewers, and we look forward to her insight during this consequential election season.”
