AMERICAN MEDIA: HOW LOW CAN YOU GO? WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY PSAKI JOINS THE PRESSTITUTE CLUB

Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary who was part of President Joe Biden’s Obama 2.0 staff, is in talks with MSNBC to host a show for its streaming service, which is the latest example of the incestuous relationship between the government and the media.
Axios was the first to report on the discussions and pointed out that it is common that White House communications staffers “negotiate TV jobs once they leave an administration.”
Kayleigh McEnany, former President Donald Trump’s press secretary got a plumb gig at Fox News, and Jay Carney, the former press secretary for former President Barack Obama, landed a coveted post at Amazon in its press department. 
One social media commenter called him Jeff Bezos’ lapdog. 
The New York Times pointed out last week that Psaki’s case is unusual because she is engaging in these talks before formally leaving her position. Rather than call a spade a spade, the Times notes that some questioned if these talks were a conflict of interest.
TRENDPOST: The Trends Journal has reported extensively on how the Biden administration is essentially the same team that Obama had, except lackeys are now in more important positions. (See “TRENDS ANALYSIS: U.S. NEWS OUTLETS PERFORM PROPAGANDA ACROBATICS IN UKRAINE WAR.”)
Gerald Celente often quotes comedian George Carlin who said, “It’s one big club, and you ain’t in it.” 
There is no difference between the corporate media and the government. These employees have dinner at the same restaurants, want their children to go to the same school, and hope to get invited to the same parties. This will not stop and the country will suffer for it.
Psaki’s overtures were reportedly not limited to MSNBC, according to the Axios report. She was also in talks with the CNN streaming service that just hired Fox News’ Chris Wallace. (See “PRESSTITUTES AND POLITICIANS PLAY FOR THE SAME TEAM. WAKE UP KIDDIES.”)
Nice Work if You Can Get it
Psaki would be the second person from the Biden White House to leave for the bigger bucks at MSNBC. Symone D. Sanders, formerly Vice President Kamala Harris’ chief spokesperson and senior adviser, is also set to host a show on MSNBC and its streaming service Peacock, the report said.
“Jen Psaki going from press secretary to MSNBC pundit tells you everything you need to know about politics and media, and their incestuous and dishonest relationship in America,” one Twitter post read.
Psaki was asked about her discussions with MSNBC on Friday during a White House press conference.
“I have nothing to confirm about my length of public service or planned service or anything about consideration about next plans. I’m very happy to be standing with you here today after it felt like a never-ending endless time in my basement quarantining away from my family.”
TRENDPOST: Journalism is dead in America and much of the world. We have been reporting that for years. See: “The Fourth Estate: RIP” (1 Dec 2016) and “POLITICO’S NOT JOURNALISM, IT’S A PRESSTITUTE PUBLICATION” (19 Oct 2021).
Major news companies need their loyal followers, so they tailor every single story to engage their base. These companies know that their followers are fickle—we’ve seen that recently when Fox News seemed to turn its back on Donald Trump and viewers abandoned the network for outlets like OAN and Newsmax.
As we reported in our Trends in the News broadcast, on 10 February 2021, the Financial Times headline read: “Fox News plans to maintain centre-right slant.”
The article went on to quote Fox Corporation CEO Lachlan Murdoch, who made it 100 percent clear it is not true journalism that drives Fox News, it is the bottom line. 
FT quoted Murdoch, who stated last year that “We will stick where we are and we think that is exactly right and is the best thing for business. We believe where we are targeted, to the centre-right, is exactly where we should be targeted.”
There it is: “the best thing for business” is their being “targeted, to the centre-right.” 
Unlike the Trends Journal, where our motto is “Think for Yourself.
