Friday’s White House press briefing saw more hardballs about President Biden’s documents scandal, but also plenty of eye-rolling questions lobbying for a female person of color to become White House chief of staff, how Biden processes racial tensions, whether “the culture of policing” has “a comfort with violence and” implants inside the minds of police officers “an entitlement to use violence…

Tuesday’s White House press briefing marked another installment of a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day for the inept Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre as, while she ignored journalists from the Daily Caller, Fox News, and Newsmax about President Biden’s classified documents scandal, she ran into a proverbial buzzsaw from outlets such as ABC, the AP, CBS, CBS News Radio, NBC, and NPR…

YIKES: Doocy, O'Keefe SLAM KJP Over Biden 'GarageGate' Docs
Thursday’s White House press conference was as contentious as you would’ve imagined after the announcement that President Joe Biden kept classified documents in the garage at his home in Delaware.

‘Come On!’ CNN Slams Lack of Oppo Research on George Santos
On Thursday’s edition of The Lead, fill-in CNN host Phil Mattingly pointed out the incompetence of the former campaign team for Robert Zimmerman, the New York Democrat who was defeated in the 2022 midterm election by embattled Congressman-elect George Santos.

KJP Embarrasses Herself Battling Journos on Biden’s New Mental Gaffe
In what might be her worst performance as White House press secretary (in what’s already been dominated by ineptitude), Karine Jean-Pierre faced searing heat Wednesday from across the ideological spectrum of the press corps after President Joe Biden called out to Congresswoman Jackie Walorski (R-IN) at a global hunger event despite the fact that Walorski died nearly two months ago.

CNN 'Fact Checker' Daniel Dale Is Obviously Soft on Biden

CNN Host PERPLEXED By Biden's Low Approval, Historian Oozes Optimism
While guest hosting Inside Politics on CNN on Thursday, Phil Mattingly wondered how President Biden's approval rating could be so low, after all he has signed major pieces of legislation and the economy is "robust."
