It portrays her and the entire Biden administration as products of a media-driven effort designed to keep Donald Trump out of office in 2020. the piece argues that the media supported Joe Biden and his team through extensive propaganda, despite widespread dissatisfaction with their governance. Now, with that media support fading, Jean-Pierre faces harsher criticism and a disappointing reception to her book tour.The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/time-magazine-takes-chinese-cash-to-promote-controversial-drone-business\/\" title=\"... Magazine Takes Chinese Cash To Promote Controversial Drone Business\">article highlights<\/a> her attempts to distance herself from the Democratic Party by criticizing its treatment of marginalized groups but suggests her efforts appear insincere or ineffective. Ultimately, the piece contends that Jean-Pierre and her administration were manipulated by media narratives, and now that those narratives are unraveling, she is encountering the consequences firsthand.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Karine Jean-Pierre, the former White House press secretary and <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/07\/06\/white-house-voodoo-doll-karine-jean-pierre-is-oddly-evasive-about-the-cocaine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">voodoo doll<\/a>, is learning in real time what so many of us have known for years: The entire Biden administration, including Jean-Pierre herself, was <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/11\/06\/2024s-biggest-loser-is-the-corporate-media-industrial-complex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a production of the dying news media<\/a>, and was only made possible by the industry cashing in on its last remaining ounce of credibility.<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre is currently promoting her memoir, in which she declares herself &ldquo;independent&rdquo; of the Democrat Party and justifies the announcement by meekly attacking anyone who made her time in the White House difficult. As Politico&rsquo;s widely read &ldquo;Playbook&rdquo; newsletter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/playbook\/2025\/10\/28\/trump-and-the-troops-00624384?nname=playbook&amp;nid=0000014f-1646-d88f-a1cf-5f46b7bd0000&amp;nrid=0000014e-f115-dd93-ad7f-f915a6170001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">observed<\/a> on Tuesday, &ldquo;the book tour is not going terribly well.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s true but it&rsquo;s not entirely Jean-Pierre&rsquo;s fault. The people giving her a hard time right now &mdash;&nbsp;that is to say, the media &mdash; are the same ones who did everything they could to keep her, her boss, and her party in power in 2024. That meant <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/06\/democrats-still-think-nobody-can-see-what-theyre-lying-about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a lot of lying on their behalf<\/a>. Jean-Pierre is only finding out that all that lying no longer serves a purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the rest of that embarrassing administration, Jean-Pierre was simply <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/08\/13\/kamala-harris-isnt-running-a-democrat-campaign-the-media-are-doing-it-for-her\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a tool of the media<\/a> to keep Donald Trump out of the White House and his millions of supporters suppressed. The production was a success in 2020, but Biden&rsquo;s presidency was an unmitigated wreck, nearly breaking the country in half. Anyone could see it, even as the media undertook the Herculean effort of telling voters for months that up was down, left was right, and Kamala could be president.<\/p>\n<p>They said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wine-tariffs-shows-consumers-will-pick-up-part-of-trumps-tab\/\" title=\"Wine tariffs shows consumers will pick up part of Trump&#039;s tab\">prices weren&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t really increasing, that the border was actually under control, and the inner cities had truly never been safer. Biden was a mastermind executive. The adults were &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/06\/16\/politics\/vladimir-putin-joe-biden-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">back in charge<\/a>.&rdquo; And Jean-Pierre, most importantly, was the first <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >black woman lady<\/a> of color, and openly &ldquo;queer.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Everything was impressive and historical, they said. And then they lost the election with Democrats tossed by voters into an irrelevant void for at least two years. The production had run its course. It was over.<\/p>\n<p>To be fair to Jean-Pierre, there was no formal announcement that the media were done lying to make her look good. It was an anticlimactic finale. That&rsquo;s why she&rsquo;s reasonably caught off guard by reviews of her book like the one in The Washington Post. That <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/books\/2025\/10\/22\/independent-karine-jean-pierre-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">write-up<\/a> by Becca Rothfeld called Jean-Pierre &ldquo;an artifact of an age that looks recent on paper but feels prehistoric in practice &mdash; the age of pantsuits, the word &rsquo;empowerment,&rsquo; the musical &lsquo;Hamilton,&rsquo; the cheap therapeutic entreaties to &lsquo;work on yourself&rsquo; and &lsquo;lean in&rsquo; to various corporate abysses.&rdquo; I know the specificity stung.<\/p>\n<p>She most notably subjected herself to a humiliating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/news\/q-and-a\/why-bidens-white-house-press-secretary-is-leaving-the-democratic-party\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Q&amp;A<\/a> with the New Yorker, in which she fought like hell to shield her vacuity with tried and true appeals to identity. &ldquo;I do not feel seen in the Party because I think they&rsquo;re throwing the L.G.B.T.Q. community under the bus,&rdquo; she said, presumably with a straight face. &ldquo;They&rsquo;re not fighting enough for migrants and immigrants.&rdquo; (Jean-Pierre might have missed the very recent episode in which a Democrat leader in the Senate flew to Central America <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/sen-chris-van-hollen-confirms-trip-to-el-salvador-funded-by-us-taxpayers\/ar-AA1DkzZY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">using taxpayer dollars<\/a> for the purpose of re-importing a professed illegal alien from his home country.)<\/p>\n<p>She also looked dumb in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CollinRugg\/status\/1980406271267467459\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video interview<\/a> with the vehemently anti-Trump <em>The Bulwark<\/em> podcast, arguing (again, with a straight face) that Joe Biden as president was a wildly entertaining host. &ldquo;The president spoke to the American people a couple times a week,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;He traveled and did domestic travel and talked directly to the American people.&rdquo; Her interviewer, Tim Miller, blankly stared at her through the camera, as anybody would.<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre, like everyone in the Biden administration, allowed the media to use her. They&rsquo;re still being used, but she&rsquo;s finding out that it comes with a price.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p>      Eddie Scarry is the D.C. columnist at The Federalist and author of &#8220;<a href=\"\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0FR8XCMYC\">Traitors: The Democrat Party&rsquo;s Collapse into Anti-American Filth<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karine Jean-Pierre and Biden team were media&#8217;s staged act<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":493,"featured_media":2504213,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/KJP.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[6219,5157,4188,36174],"class_list":["post-2504212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-influence","tag-journalism","tag-media","tag-public-perception"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/KJP.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2504212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/493"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2504212"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2504212\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2504216,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2504212\/revisions\/2504216"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2504213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2504212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2504212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2504212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
