1. Ouch!!! Get 'em Girl!!!!

[Hekate]

2. Jen Psaki, you are simply the best at what you do

[dalton99a]

3. Kick

[Tommymac]

4. I love Jen. If I was 10 years younger and we both were single she would be in good trouble. nt

[Escurumbele]

14. There would be so much competition that you would have to face...

I would be in line...and 1,000s more I bet. She is not only very intelligent, has a wonderful personality and so beautiful.

[jamesatemple]

26. Yeah, me too.

But I'd need to shed 50 or so years.

[spanone]

5. The article doesn't mention ANYBODY who think it's not the best use of his time.

Perhaps it's just the author?

[ProfessorGAC]

8. "People Are Sayin'"

Sloppy work to be published on behalf of a major newspaper.

[Carlitos Brigante]

9. Would this count as "jinx"? :-p ( see below). nt

[ProfessorGAC]

32. Pretty Close, I'd Say

But, we can't lock pinkies. Social distancing and all.

[OneCrazyDiamond]

11. I checked too.

Nothing.

I hate it when we defend every little precieved slight. We do not have to justify attacks against attending funerals with responses Those miniscule few he think that there is a gotcha here, are too sick to waste energy on.

Mourning the dead predates civilization, and isn't exclusively a human behavior.

[thesquanderer]

22. the author probably thinks playing golf is a much better use of a president's time n/t

[Carlitos Brigante]

6. "Also, why are so many elderly people at the end of their lives dying during

this presidency?.... ". Some people say

And people think Raw Story is sensationalistic and" click-baity".

[twodogsbarking]

7. I think she would be good at most anything.

Lots of control.

[Cha]

10. "..Uses Funerals.. " WTF!

Is Pres Biden suppose to Ignore his friends and colleagues' Memorials because he's POTUS, WAHPO?

TY Jen Psaki!

[Moebym]

35. Democratic presidents must work 24/7

Whereas GOP presidents get to relax and take vacations as often as they like with barely a peep from the press.

[Cha]

38. Right.. and as in the TFFG's case..

he got to take his big Bloated self carted around the golf course while America burned with COVID.:storm

Fuck the Enemy of the State M$$$$M.

[XacerbatedDem]

52. LOL

[XacerbatedDem]

54. oops, sorry, wrong pic

tennis, too

[NoMoreRepugs]

12. Is there ANYTHING President Biden does that isn't turned into a negative or

scandal or misdeed? Following the most rancid meatsack in History the press has become unhinged in looking for negatives to write about an honorable individual who doesn’t provide them everyday fodder for headlines.

[PortTack]

23. Exactly! That is why I have tuned out! And, encourage others to do the same

We have all the power to change the narrative and rather quickly if we would only exercise it.

[soldierant]

31. No. Nothing.

It's disgusting.

[DanieRains]

13. Biden Should Instead Be Making People Get Vaccinated And Boosted... Oh Wait...

Nevermind.

[Mr. Evil]

15. Corporate. Owned. Media. Must. End.

[Hekate]

43. There are almost no local newspapers left in the country. They're expensive to run & they rely on...

…advertising dollars to stay afloat. They always have done.

Just sayin’

[Mr. Evil]

48. You are correct.

But, since they were advertising in the local newspaper they just wanted to reach a local potential clientele. And, the local newspaper (in those days) didn't really try to set the narrative. They just reported what was going on. Sort of like back in the Walter Cronkite era. You know, when they reported the truth.

[summer_in_TX]

51. Big media - Google, etc. - get a free ride on the

works of journalists and they suck up the majority of advertising dollars.

The breaking news gets around quickly on social media and TV, so newspapers now specialize in in depth analysis, which isn't found on social media or television either one.

[packman]

16. Damn it, Joe - quit going to those funerals

and get out on those golf courses to boost your ratings with the MAGA assholes.

Anyone know how many times (if ever) the WashPo made mention of the idiots "best use of his time" while he was flying from one golf course to another.

[Evolve Dammit]

20. Spot on !

[Escurumbele]

17. Did anyone ever say that playing golf was not the best use of trump's time?

Well, actually, I think we would have all been happy for the buffoon to play golf every day instead of screwing things up all over the place.

[Jacson6]

18. Isn't Psaki resigning this month?

[FakeNoose]

28. She's got 2 pre-school kids at home

I don't blame her for wanting to be with them, they grow up too fast!
But she won't leave the White House until a suitable replacement is found, I'm sure.

[sellitman]

19. Jen for President!!!

Want to see the Talking Heads explode?

[appleannie1]

21. Every president except trump has gone to funerals of members of Congress.

I remember when they bitched because Obama honored American Soldiers at a Cemetery in Illinois instead of Arlington on Memorial Day. I guess for some, your bad if you do and bad if you don't.

[Grins]

24. Remind me of the ONLY President NOT invited to the funerals (plural!) of national figures...?

Think of that! Not only did he not want to go (because it would not have been about him) but the families of the deceased - DIDN’T WANT HIM THERE!

Has that ever happened before?

[colorado_ufo]

25. Jen, you are a gift and a national treasure!

Even after you move on to other things in your life, we will NEVER forget how amazingly you filled this position. You are a huge aid and asset to President Biden. We hope and pray that you will fill this super-important role as long as he fills his.

[Grokenstein]

27. The Compost deleted the tweet!

Psaki burned the shitheads so badly they deleted the tweet! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!

[MontanaMama]

30. "Compost"

[Cha]

40. Good to know.. TY!

[SpankMe]

29. Even if the article did mention a name or two...

...that really wouldn't be sufficient to justify including the critical statement.

There will never be a zero-dissenter scenario. The question is, what's the threshold before a journalistic organization should allude to dissenting parties? If a few unknown cranks on Twitter said it wasn't the best use of his time, then it is pointless to mention. It's in the background noise of ever-present haters.

But, if significant numbers of congressional reps, academics or other legit leaders called it out, then it may be worth some analysis. And they should be named and their specific objection needs to be explored.

There needs to be some critical mass of these dissenters - who can be identified - before statements like this should be included in any journalistic product form a news organization. This should be in WaPo's style manual, or whatever internal rules of engagement they have.

I really object to this water-muddying tactic of "...some people are saying...". TFG did this almost every day. It's psyops.

[Moebym]

33. Determined to put a negative spin on everything, aren't we, WaPo?

They are quite literally both-sidesing the President honoring an old friend at his memorial service.

For goodness' sake, give it a rest already!

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

46. Ever since Jeff Bezos bought the Post,

I have boycotted them. Reading posts like this tells me I made the right choice.

While the Post was a great source for national news, I always preferred the Baltimore Sun.

[elias7]

34. Political consideration is more an R thing

Dems are more into doing the right thing.

But if that’s what you want your narrative to be WAPO. Does the term damned if you do, damned if you don’t mean anything to you and your irrelevant narratives?

[reACTIONary]

36. I read the article...

... and didn't find anything disrespectful about it. It seemed like straight forward reporting about a practice that sets Biden apart from a lot of politicians, let alone tfg.

The tweet mischaracterizes the article, imho. However, the comments on the article show that there are a lot of folks who do think it was an unwarranted criticism.

[gratuitous]

37. The Post article was written by Annie Linskey

In case you missed it or don't remember, Linskey was the one who captioned a photo of Biden, who was walking through the Wilmington cemetery where his first wife and child are buried, "as his legislative agenda is dying in Washington."

I'm disinclined to think that Linskey made an innocent error.

[Cha]

39. Oh gawd.. what is it with

her and President Biden's paying respect and honor to loved ones who have passed?

Besides being an Idiot.

TY for bit of important info

[niyad]

41. Retty sure that if President Biden had not gone, he would have caught hell from the compost

My thanks to DU'er Grokenstein for the new name for wapo.

[sloopdog50]

42. Oh Snap!

Jen is truly one of the FAFO people. Don't bring that to her, she is fatal.

[DFW]

44. Her wit is the sharpest blade in Washington

It slices through cold Republican tar like a hot knife through butter.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

45. Jen Psaki's intelligence, candor and honesty

are a refreshing and much needed change from the bullshit brigade of Sarah Sanders, Stephanie Grisham and Kayleigh McEnany.

[BlueIdaho]

47. There has got to be a national medal

For someone who exhibits this kind of grace, courage, strength, and guts in the face of a totally hostile press corps.

[Grasswire2]

49. could you imagine having her for your grandmother?

Yikes!!

Fierce!

Love it.

[Emile]

53. At my age, no. I would be a proud daddy if she were my daughter!

[Sucha NastyWoman]

50. She can't quit.

Cause we can’t quit her. And she’s irreplaceable.
