White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany may have resumed regularly scheduled press briefings, but ABC News correspondent Jon Karl argued Saturday that she's not conducting them the right way.
Karl,
who leads the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA), penned an
op-ed in which he accused McEnany of giving partisan monologues and
"denying reality" during press briefings.
"The job is to inform
the public: to be an intermediary between the president and a press
corps the public relies on for information ... Denying reality and using
the White House podium for purely political purposes is a violation of
public trust," he wrote in The Washington Post.
He
added: "Briefings under the current press secretary rarely last 30
minutes -- which is short by traditional standards -- but routinely
include opening and closing messages that more closely resemble the
monologues of a partisan political talk show than a public official’s
briefing."
