On inauguration day, press secretary Jen Psaki said that President Biden was going to bring truth and transparency back:
MSNBC ~ “His objective and commitment is to bring transparency and truth back to government, to share the truth even when it’s hard to hear,” Press Sec. Psaki says about Pres. Biden in the first press briefing of the Biden administration.

We’re now almost five months into the Biden administration, and according to Washington Post WH reporter Ashley Parker former President Trump’s administration was more transparent than the current one:
Ashley Parker ~ Biden is abroad doing a big push on democracy v autocracy. BUT the U.S. press — a key part of any functioning democracy — has gotten less access than under previous administrations. And is now forced to resort to updates on from...the Turkish government Twitter account.
And why would the Biden administration just think they can brush the media aside whenever they feel like it?
Mindy ~ Y’all are essentially the communications wing of the DNC. He knows he doesn’t have to respect you.
ButterFriedCrisco ~ I'm not holding my breath for a 5 alarm fire from the WH press corp. Clowns.
81,000,000 need an ass kicking ~ "Previous administrations."
Would of killed her to say Trump administration?
Yeah, she's from The WaPo, so it probably would have killed her to speak the truth ... but, she's still admitting that the Trump Administration was far more open & honest with the press than the Biden Administration is.
Brian Schwartz ~ Doesn't democracy die in darkness or something?
Yeah, what happened with that anyway?
The Gormogons ~ First, much of the American media is biased and incompetent.
Second, we all know media won't do a darned thing about Biden shutting them out. You didn't with Obama, either.
Austin ~ But at least the tweets aren't mean.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
