Now, is that in itself a bum deal? No. It isn&#8217;t. However, she cannot perform the parallel role as spokeswoman for President Biden&#8217;s administration while waiting for new employer to make official what reportedly already is well-known among the Washington, DC press corps.<\/p>\n<p>I believe Psaki has done a creditable job as press secretary. She has sought to give straight answers to straight questions. When she doesn&#8217;t know the answer, she has been fond of telling reporters that she is willing to &#8220;circle back&#8221; when she obtains the answers they seek. Nothing wrong at all with that.<\/p>\n<p>She is now set to don some new proverbial attire as an MSNBC talking head. Psaki did work for CNN before joining the Biden administration in 2021, so it&#8217;s no big shakes that she would return to the fight with another network.<\/p>\n<p>Psaki must not mix the two roles &#8212; as one who covers the news and one who on occasion makes the news. She is getting far too close to that line to make many of comfortable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those critics of the Biden administration have a point in calling for press secretary Jen Psaki to resign her job as White House flack while awaiting a formal announcement that she is returning to cable TV news.
