Trump Should End On-Camera White House Press Briefings In His Second Term
Can the on-camera briefings. Trump doesn't need them. Neither do the rest of us.
The White House press corps is not happy with Karine Jean-Pierre — as she just can’t seem to stop repeating lies from the White House regarding the president’s health.
“I never answered the question incorrectly,” Jean-Pierre responded to a frustrated member of the press. “That is not true. I was asked about a medical exam, I was asked about a physical, that was in the line of questions that I answered.”
“And I said ‘No, he did not have a medical exam,’ and I still stand by that. Matter of fact, the president still stands by that. He had a verbal check-in, that is something that the president has a couple times a week,” Jean-Pierre continued.
When another reporter asked the name of the doctor with whom President Biden has weekly check-ins, Jean-Pierre got angrier.
“I am telling you right now that I am not sharing, confirming names from here. It is a security reason. I am not going to do that Ed, it doesn’t matter how hard you push me, it doesn’t matter how angry you get with me. I’m not going to confirm a name,” she said.
Pat Gray is confused as to why it’s a “security reason.”
“If she mentions the guy's name, if it’s Dr. Cannard, does that mean people are going to try to kill him? Is that what the security issue is? Are you endangering his life by saying, ‘Yeah, he treated the president?’ This is BS. Come on,” Gray says.
Jean-Pierre then went on to claim that it was for the doctor’s “privacy.”
“It is inappropriate, it is not acceptable,” she added.
“He’s the president’s doctor,” Gray laughs. “That just ruins your career.”
In another press briefing, Jean-Pierre appeared to be on the brink of tears.
“We literally do everything that we can, my team does, that we can, to make sure that we get the answers to you,” she said. “And sometimes we disagree, sometimes we are not in agreement. But you know what, that’s democracy.”
“And so to say that I’m holding information, or allude to anything else, is unfair, is really, really unfair,” she continued. “And I will admit, I will be the first one to admit, sometimes I get it wrong. At least I admit that.”
Then it got worse, as Jean-Pierre told reporters sometimes she doesn’t “have the information,” but again, at least she admits it.
When she was asked whether or not Biden would submit to a cognitive test, Jean-Pierre said more of absolutely nothing.
“Everything that he does day in and day out, as it relates to delivering for the American people, is a cognitive test.”

A Kuwaiti news outfit debuted the newest member of its team over the weekend. Unlike others at the station, this talking head, named "Fedha," is neither a dues-paying member of a union nor deserving of a parking spot. In fact, Fedha is not even a human being.
Kuwait News, an affiliate of the Kuwait Times, posted a video to Twitter Saturday depicting a modestly dressed white woman with blonde hair that introduced itself as "Fedha ... the first presenter in Kuwait who works with artificial intelligence."
The humanistic simulacrum then said in Arabic, "What kind of news do you prefer? Let's hear your opinions."
Abdullah Boftain, deputy editor in chief for Kuwait News, told AFP that Fedha is a test of AI's potential to both offer "new and innovative content" and present news bulletins to the outlet's 1.2 million Twitter followers in an appropriate Kuwaiti accent.

"Fedha is a popular, old Kuwaiti name that refers to silver, the metal. We always imagine robots to be silver and metallic in colour, so we combined the two," explained Boftain.
Boftain suggested that Fedha's appearance was intended to reflect the Near Eastern nation's "diverse" population of natives and expatriates, stressing, "Fedha represents everyone."
Fedha also represents an opportunity to help realize Goldman Sachs' prediction that AI will soon replace around 300 million jobs.
A recent report by investment bank Goldman Sachs indicated that a quarter of work tasks in the U.S. and Europe could be replaced by AI, in part because generative AI is now capable of generating new content "that is indistinguishable from human-created output."
This great replacement will impact various sectors, but not all equally. For instance, 46% of tasks in administrative and 44% in legal professions could reportedly be automated, but only 6% in construction can be taken over by AI.
Carl Benedikt Frey, future of work director at the Oxford Martin School, Oxford University, told British state media, "The only thing I am sure of is that there is no way of knowing how many jobs will be replaced by generative AI."
"What ChatGPT does, for example, is allow more people with average writing skills to produce essays and articles," said Frey. "Journalists will therefore face more competition, which would drive down wages, unless we see a very significant increase in the demand for such work."
The Goldman Sachs report indicated that 26% of the arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media industry could possibly be automated by AI.
At Kuwait News, for instance, an AI-generated simulation scripted by ChatGPT could potentially serve as a full0time replacement for a flesh-and-bone script-reader.
The New York Post noted that Fedha, while possibly among the more lifelike, is not the first AI-generated news presenter.
Chinese state news agency Xinhua News revealed a virtual newsreader called Qiu Hao in 2018, dressed in a suit and tie. The humanistic simulacrum said, "I will work tirelessly to keep you informed as texts will be typed into my system uninterrupted."

Months later, Xinhua introduced what it claimed was the world's first female AI news anchor, known as Xin Xiaomeng.
