New White House Press Secretary ‘Anti-Israel Activist’ and Married to CNN Correspondent
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced she will be leaving her position vouching for President Biden at the daily briefings and moving over to an on-air role at MSNBC. Unfortunately, her replacement is not only a spouse of a CNN host, but she is known to be anti-Israel.
Karine Jean-Pierre will be the first black woman as well as openly gay individual to serve in the role. Jean-Pierre is married to CNN correspondent Suzanne Malveaux, which, rightly so, is raising potential ethical concerns.
However, in addition to saying goodbye to the last ounce of fairness in the press this administration may have had, Jean-Pierre is a “veteran anti-Israel activist.” Jean-Pierre has “been open about her animosity towards the Jewish state” reports the Washington Free Beacon.
She once served as senior adviser and national spokeswoman for the extremely progressive group MoveOn.Org, a far-left anti-Israel group known for supporting boycotts of the Jewish state.
Washington Free Beacon writes:
Jean-Pierre’s anti-Israel past—which includes a stint as senior adviser and national spokeswoman for MoveOn.org, a far-left anti-Israel group that advocates for boycotts of the Jewish state—is raising red flags in the pro-Israel community. The selection of an Israel critic is also likely to further strain ties with the pro-Israel community and Israeli government, which already is strongly opposed to the Biden administration’s efforts to ink a new nuclear deal with Iran.
Jean-Pierre has been open about her animosity towards the Jewish state. She has accused Israel of committing “war crimes” and has backed efforts to boycott the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the United States’ most prominent pro-Israel lobbying shop, cheering Democrats in 2019 for boycotting the group’s annual gathering in Washington, D.C., for “boldly [chose] to prioritize diplomacy and human rights over the power of a lobbying organization.”
AIPAC, she claimed, helped the Trump administration “sabotage” the Iran nuclear deal and also “supported the group that’s credited with inspiring President Trump to enact the Muslim Ban and has been known to spread anti-Muslim racism.” She accused the group without evidence of trafficking in “severely racist, Islamophobic rhetoric.”
Rupert Murdoch, the 92-year-old media tycoon, announced his decision to step down from his roles as Chairman of Fox Corporation and Executive Chairman of News Corp on Thursday. The transition is set to take effect in November, with his son, Lachlan Murdoch, assuming the position of sole chairman for both media conglomerates.
According to reports from Fox News, Murdoch addressed his colleagues in a letter, where he explained that his decision was prompted by a desire to embrace new roles while recognizing the capable leadership of his son, Lachlan. He stated, “For my entire professional life, I have been engaged daily with news and ideas, and that will not change. But the time is right for me to take on different roles, knowing that we have truly talented teams and a passionate, principled leader in Lachlan who will become sole Chairman of both companies.”
Despite the transition, Rupert Murdoch made it clear that he would remain actively involved in the “contest of ideas,” highlighting the intensifying battle over freedom of speech and freedom of thought. He criticized elites and the media for prioritizing narratives over the pursuit of truth.
“In my new role, I can guarantee you that I will be involved every day in the contest of ideas,” he wrote.
Lachlan Murdoch issued a statement, congratulating his father for his remarkable 70-year career and acknowledging his enduring impact on the companies he founded. He expressed gratitude for Rupert Murdoch’s vision, pioneering spirit, and steadfast determination, assuring that he would continue to provide valuable counsel in his role as Chairman Emeritus.
Rupert Murdoch’s media empire includes FOX News Channel, which has been a dominant force in 24-hour news coverage since its launch in 1996. Under his leadership, it became one of the world’s most influential news sources. Additionally, Murdoch served as the CEO of 21st Century Fox from 1979 until 2015 and as its Chairman from 1991 to 2015.
Murdoch’s career began in 1954 when he assumed control of News Limited, a public corporation in Australia previously led by his father. He expanded his media holdings internationally, acquiring major UK publications like News of the World and The Sun in 1969, as well as U.S. newspapers including the New York Post and The Village Voice.
His impact extended to television with the launch of the FOX Broadcasting company in 1986 and the subsequent establishment of FOX Sports. In 2019, Fox Corporation emerged as a standalone, publicly traded entity following the separation of 21st Century Fox, redefining the U.S. media landscape.
Rupert Murdoch’s contributions to the media industry have earned him numerous accolades, including the Companion of the Order of Australia (A.C.) and induction into the Television Academy Hall of Fame. Alongside his family, he has supported various charitable organizations across the U.S., the U.K., Australia, Asia, and Israel.
The transition of leadership marks a significant moment in the media world, as Rupert Murdoch’s enduring legacy continues to influence the future of media and journalism.

Of course! Are we really surprised? Obama led the beginning of Democrat Party communists’ hatred for Israel. I will never understand why the majority of Jews in this country elect leaders who want to bring about their demise!

No surprise here. The Democrat Party has a long history of anti-Semitism and racism against people of color. They are just very adept at following the Alinsky model – accusing others (Republicans) of doing what they are doing!

Nothing coming out of the White House, ( desecrated by the DEMON RATS), or the Communist News Network, will ever be true!
There are only deviancy, lies, default, corruption, misinformation, disinformation, and lies, lies lies after lies coming out of the mouths of every participants in those buildings, whoever and wherever they are!

Why would anyone be surprised with this woman. Also, she’s not married in the eyes of the Lord.

Mentioning that Karine Jean-Pierre is black, gay and anti-Israel sounds like a witch-hunt. A good, old judeo-christian witch hunt. Since when being pro-Israel is a sine qua non condition for being a good American? Since when being black is a sin? And frankly I prefer from far a lesbian couple to a pedophile judeo-christian priest! OK, she will lie on behalf of the administration paying her… but she will be more sincere than all those pro-Israel, white, straight RINO traitors circling around a stupidly naive Trump for years. After all, his pro-Israel stand didn’t stop the jews of the kippah-gang sending him home… After all, in spite of being black, Candence Owens is intelligent and good looking… After all Israel is a corrupt nation indulging in crimes against humanity (The jewish hoax has already lasted too long: Good americans should remember the jewish dr. Gotlieb aka the american Dr Mengele! They should also remember the millions of jews displaced and sent to camps under Trotsky and Beria, long before the German camps where invented,,,). I don’t have any particular like for Karen Jean-Pierre, but the argumentation of the article is partisan and wrong!

How brain dead can this administration be? Married to a CNN employee, anti-Israel one of our few friends in the Middle East. Of course she checks all the boxes, female, black, gay and anti-Israel. What a travesty.
