Reporter tells Politico they're afraid to battle Psaki: 'Makes you look like an a--hole'
Politico Magazine article delved into idea some journalists have that covering Biden White House is 'boring'
By Gabriel Hays | Fox News
A new piece from Politico Magazine offered readers a glimpse into how nice most White House correspondents are to the current administration, especially compared to how they treated the last one.
One doozy of a quote from "The Friday Read," which remarks on how "boring" the Biden White House has been for reporters, featured a journalist admitting they would feel like an "a--hole" for questioning White House press secretary Jen Psaki too aggressively.
The sympathetic anecdote mentioned how "good" Psaki was at her job and made a direct comparison of how professional she is next to Trump press secretaries who were destroying "democracy."
Quoting the anonymous reporter, Politico White House correspondent Max Tani, wrote, "’Jen [Psaki] is very good at her job, which is unfortunate,’ one reporter who has covered the past two administrations from the room said. ‘And the work is a lot less rewarding, because you’re no longer saving democracy from Sean Spicer and his Men’s Warehouse suit. Jawing with Jen just makes you look like an a--hole."
