Press Secretary on the Offensive

For John, BLUF:  The Press appears to have decided, early on, that President Trump was wrongly elected, in cahoots with the wrong side and an ignorant toad.  Now comes the new Presidential Press Secretary, Ms Kayleigh McEnany.  There is a new sheriff in town.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Liberal Media Scream:  Media bigs tell Kayleigh McEnany don’t you dare challenge us

From The Washington Examiner, by Reporter Paul Bedard, 25 May 2020.

Here is the lede plus three:

This week’s Liberal Media Scream features the inevitable rip by media big shots on newly installed and battle-eager White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.

And the hits didn’t come just the usual liberal suspects, but Fox News’s Chris Wallace and The Dispatch’s Jonah Goldberg.

It came on Wallace’s popular show Fox News Sunday in a discussion with Goldberg over McEnany’s scolding of reporters for not looking further into the Michael Flynn scandal and how it showed the unraveling of the Russia collusion narrative.

Wallace declared:  “I have to say that if Kayleigh McEnany had told Sam Donaldson and me what questions we should ask, that would not have gone well.”  Goldberg said that McEnany’s behavior was “indefensible and grotesque” and like a “Twitter troll who goes on attack, doesn’t actually care about doing the job they have.”  Wallace echoed that “McEnany isn’t acting like she is working for the public.  She acts like she is what she used to be, which is a spokesperson for the Trump campaign.”

I must admit to liking Ms McEnany's spunk.  I further admit to not being much impressed by the lack of curiosity on the part of the press.  They seem to think they know all there is to know.  I am doubtful they are correct.
