"Even after its own in-depth WestExec piece, the Times continued to elide that information in other reporting. A piece by White House correspondent Annie Karni (11/29/20) reported that Biden had āannounced an all-female White House communications staff, with Jennifer Psaki, a veteran of the Obama administration, in the most visible role as White House press secretary.ā The piece noted Psakiās previous experience working for both Obama and John Kerry, the fact that she and many others on the team were āmothers of young children,ā and that she āsaid she saw her job as trying to ārebuild trust of the American people.'ā Yet it didnāt mention her role with WestExec, reported the day before by her Times colleagues, nor how that might impact Psakiās trust-building mission.... A later piece (12/1/20) on Bidenās communications team perfunctorily noted, in a paragraph on Psakiās past experience, that she āhas served a principal at WestExec Advisors, a consulting firm founded by Antony J. Blinken,"
