Poynter pays glowing tribute to Jen Psaki, 'one of the best press secretaries ever'

Today is Jen Psaki’s last day as Joe Biden’s White House press secretary, before she makes the lateral leap to MSNBC. Her replacement, Karine Jean-Pierre, is a piece of work in her own right, of course, but right now, this is about Jen Psaki and her legacy.

And with that, we turn it over to the folks at Poynter:

"Psaki was consistently prepared, effective in communicating for the president and, even when sparring with media members, always respectful."https://t.co/7PuMALpbXW

How does one even begin to parody something like this?

With the country and the world going to hell in a handbasket, we can use all the laughs we can get. So thanks for this, Poynter. Lord knows we needed it.

She mocked journalists for suggesting we send COVID tests to people's homes. https://t.co/v5MhrMgRNX

Yeah, what a treasure we’re losing.

Even by the already fulsome standards of journos praising Democratic WH press secretaries as they transition back into cushy media jobs, this is embarrassing. https://t.co/HT8fH2t912

Democratic sycophants gonna Democratic sycophant. It’s pretty gross, but also utterly fascinating.

She was a consistent sh*t show and your standards are really low.

Do they even have standards anymore?

Always good to remember that Poynter is now just a left-wing dark money op, funded by the same people who fund Planned Parenthood. https://t.co/5pMMf2kcwu
