Brian J. Karem

The reason many in the press were happy to see Biden’s comms team go is because it routinely ghosted us, dropped us from email chains, ignored requests, acted elitist, spoke down to some and indifferent to others. I have covered every POTUS since Reagan. No admin had a more incompetent comms staff

I hope your boss gave you hardship pay.

Snark aside, he just reinforces the notion that the political press corps should be thought of as intelligence officers who have been compromised by their assets. They're so easy to play. mikethemadbiologist.com/2018/05/01/c...

That said, Biden's comms people were not good, despite of all of the fanboi/grrling over them. Remember when Psaki literally couldn't read the room she was standing in and snarked about sending tests to every household? Their job is to manipulate these losers. We do need smarter professional Dems.

Interesting that Karem's doesn't say they were dishonest, but that they were "incompetent." Does that imply their job was to effectively defend the Biden administration, and they fell down on that job? And this is not something a member of the press corps can tolerate?
