Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced that her new MSNBC show will be dedicated to “debunking things, calling out BS.”
“First of all, my business is not rage,” Psaki said. “What I hope to do is bring that passion for explaining things, debunking things, calling out BS when you see it to my next job,” she said.

“I very publicly worked for the last president,” Psaki added. “I also will be transparent about what I believe — I mean, I did some work for Planned Parenthood, I very much believe that women should have the right to make choices. I’m not going to hide that when I’m on television.”

As Jim Geraghty pointed out at National Review, now that “we’re about to enter the era of Jen Psaki, fact-checker,” we should probably look at her performance as White House press secretary for a glimpse of what might be in store.
“I expect this means we’ll get more declarations that the CDC director offers separate personal assessments of health policies, that President Biden meant to say the opposite of what he actually said, that the White House doesn’t have a view on whether it’s wrong to leak drafts of Supreme Court decisions, that it is ‘unfair and absurd’ for companies to increase costs on consumers in response to higher tax rates, that anyone who criticizes a Biden speech is proving that the president struck a nerve, or that the supply-chain crisis is mostly a matter of treadmill deliveries being delayed,” Geraghty wrote.
If you want an accurate, brief summation of some of Psaki’s better dissembling while in the employ of the White House, you can’t do much better than that.
