Psaki: I Have a Responsibility Not to Make the Briefing Room as a Platform for Propaganda

‘I have a responsibility to the public to make sure they’re getting accurate information’

EXCERPT:

PSAKI: "What I will tell you is that I also have a responsibility not to allow the briefing room to become a forum for propaganda or a forum for pushing forward falsehoods or inaccurate information. My best preparation for that was actually serving as the State Department spoke when there were representatives of the Russian and Chinese media in the briefing room asking me questions that were directed by their government. So, we see that from time to time in the briefing room. Not every single day at all. But I have a responsibility to the public to make sure they’re getting accurate information and the premises of questions that are propaganda-pushing are not giving them inaccurate information."
