Daily Beast report that suggested Biden Press Secretary
Jen Psaki is trying to screen out tough questions, but several White House journalists are using social media to push back on the story.
At issue is a story by
Maxwell Tani entitled “White House Reporters: Biden Team Wanted Our Questions in Advance,” and subtitled “PICKING AND CHOOSING.”
The meat of the story is that several sources say that “the new president’s communications staff have already on occasion probed reporters to see what questions they plan on asking new White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki when called upon during briefings,” and a reporter “raised the issue” on a White House Correspondents Association Zoom call.
