On March 20, black reporter Simon Ateba from an obscure website called “Today News Africa” began screaming at the very top of the briefing that current press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was not calling on him so he could ask his questions. There should be decorum at press briefings, no matter who is president. But some reporters have sought fame and fortune by screaming.

The Los Angeles Times asked Jen Psaki about how she keeps calm and she said there were times in the White House briefing room where she thought she was "an orderly in an insane asylum." That's a weird answer considering how many reporters are Democrats. 

Julio Rosas at Townhall reports that C-SPAN is showing a pro-Democrat bias. They failed to cover a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the border crisis February 23 in Yuma, Arizona because Democrats skipped it. But in 2019, they showed an all-Democrat hearing by Maxine Waters in Los Angeles.

Leftist billionaire George Soros wields a level of influence in American politics that makes him unrivaled among the left’s most powerful activist donors. He has spent decades and more than $32 billion building an unparalleled network of allies in almost every field of endeavor. That power doesn’t just impact American opinion. Soros, his Open Society Foundations and the charities they fund…

CNN's Oliver Darcy led off the Tuesday night "Reliable Sources" newsletter with the headline "The Pressed Secretary." His first line: "Frustration among White House reporters with press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is reaching a boiling point." Reporters who remained anonymous expressed newfound anger at the guff from the podium: 

Leftist billionaire George Soros used his charities to build ties with hundreds of media organizations around the world involved in news and activist media. The journalism and activist media groups Soros supports mold public opinion on practically every continent and in many languages. They also insulate him from inquiry because reporters see him as an ally, not a target for investigation.

Injustice in Iran provoked AOC to come close to criticizing radical Islam as oppressive for women. But she couldn’t quite get there and fell back on her usual woke pablum. 

President Joe Biden's clumsy flub lit up the internet last week after he read the teleprompter's private instructions to “repeat the line” during a White House speech on pro-abortion tactics.

Liberal billionaire George Soros claimed that the greatest threat to the U.S. is “far-right extremists” on the U.S. Supreme Court and not dictators like China’s Xi Jinping or Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

The reviews are in for the new White House press secretary, and it’s not good. Politico ran a story headlined “Karine Jean-Pierre’s tough debut: Unforced stumbles and press corps grumbles.”

The state of Connecticut is looking to pay some authoritarian $150,000/year to head up what sounds like it’s shaping up to be their own version of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) …

“Mary Poppins of disinformation” Nina Jankowicz resigned from leading President Joe Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board (DGB) after MRC and other outlets exposed its Orwellian nature.

The media made a big deal out of the White House Correspondents Dinner being back with Biden, baby! At least he joked the press is less popular than he is.

CBS News had serious internal "turmoil" on its hands when they hired former Trump Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney as an analyst, since he is outside their ideological bubble. But CNN's Oliver Darcy reports there was also unhappiness at NBC News when reports emerged that they hired Biden press secretary Jen Psaki as a TV host for their Peacock streaming service.
