We spent a little bit of time trying to figure out how a piece like this ever got greenlit by Politico Magazine, let alone written in the first place.
But then we remembered who we’re dealing with when it comes to Washington media, and it was no longer a big mystery.
This is the most pathetic thing I have ever read.https://t.co/0NYkvRj2Tf pic.twitter.com/QV0M9cBquR

It’s pretty pathetic, to say the least.
BTW what possible good reason could there be for Politico to grant this reporter anonymity?
also, it is Men’s ***Wearhouse***, not Warehouse.
excellent mix of snobbery & lack of attention to basic detail. https://t.co/FdTFR10RBB

“Snobbery & lack of attention to basic detail” is basically the motto of the White House press corps.

These people could teach lessons in obsequiousness to the courtiers at Louis XIV's Versailles. H/t @MaxNordau. https://t.co/uWu0lzlvgC

We’d like to second that nomination, if we may.
Over the entire history of journalism the only sentence more embarrassing than the one below is when the WaPo’s @elisaslow described “the sun glint[ing] off [Obama’s] chiseled pectorals scrupted during four weightlifting sessions each week” https://t.co/itoeh9s1wC

Oh man … why’d you have to remind us, Tom? Shudder.
If you actually read Maxwell Tani’s article, though, you’ll find that the bit about Jen Psaki being too darn good at her job isn’t where the patheticalness first becomes apparent; it’s pathetic right from the get-go:

Obviously the problem the White House press corps have is not that Jen Psaki is a singularly gifted White House press secretary. No, the problem with the White House press corps is that they’re horrendously, heinously terrible at their jobs.

It’s like the D.C. media don’t even hear themselves. Ironic since they love nothing more than the sounds of their own voices, but there you go.
The thing is, unfortunately for them, we hear them loud and clear.

Record inflation now with negative growth. President's son under federal investigation. A record border crisis. Americans still left in Afghanistan, and White House reporters are bored.
