White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt didn’t hold back when slamming Biden’s embattled mouthpiece, Karine Jean-Pierre, after she made the outrageous claim that President Trump’s press room was comparable to those of North Korea and Russia.
As reported by The Gateway Pundit, Leavitt swiftly dismantled the absurd comparison, exposing the left’s obsession with controlling the media narrative while pretending to champion press freedom.
The controversy erupted after President Trump’s administration decided to open the White House press pool to outlets that had previously been shut out by the establishment media.

For years, the far-left White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) played gatekeeper, granting access only to legacy media outlets that dutifully pushed the leftist agenda. Under Biden, conservative media was routinely excluded, while state-run liberal outlets had free rein.
It wasn’t the first time the liberal media complex revealed its disdain for fair access. In 2020, the far-left Washington Post published a hit piece targeting The Gateway Pundit, The Epoch Times, and One America News Network (OANN) simply for daring to cover White House events.
That same year, the WHCA removed OANN from the press briefing room rotation, punishing reporter Chanel Rion for allegedly breaking their arbitrary in-house rules.
The Biden regime followed suit by denying credentials to The Gateway Pundit, reinforcing the left’s stranglehold on media access.
Leavitt made it clear that the days of leftist media monopolies were over. She announced that a small, handpicked group of DC journalists would no longer have exclusive rights to press access, a move that sent the liberal establishment into a tailspin.
Naturally, Jean-Pierre, known for silencing conservative voices while covering for Biden’s obvious cognitive decline, took to “The View” to complain. She whined that Trump’s decision to strip the biased Associated Press of its privileged position was somehow equivalent to “state TV.”

“What we’re looking at is what Russia is doing. What we’re looking at is what North Korea is doing, and we are doing that,” Jean-Pierre claimed, pretending that Biden—a man who avoids unscripted press conferences like the plague—was the gold standard of transparency.
KJP doubled down on her nonsense, arguing that the Associated Press, one of the most blatantly partisan outlets in the country, is somehow a bastion of unbiased journalism.
“When the White House press team decides to step in and override the White House Correspondents’ Association, what we’re looking at is state TV. They are attacking the fiber of the freedom of the press,” she ranted, conveniently ignoring the Biden regime’s repeated censorship of conservative voices.
Leavitt, never one to let leftist lies slide, swiftly fired back.
“I think that’s the same individual who said from this podium numerous times that the commander in chief was mentally and physically up for the job, which we knew was a lie. Many of you were admonished for asking questions about that truth. And so when it comes to truth and transparency, this administration, this White House, is setting the example. This President is taking FAR more questions than his predecessor, Joe Biden, did on a daily basis, and that will continue.”
Leavitt didn’t stop there. She called out the entire Democratic Party for their unhinged, disgraceful behavior during President Trump’s Joint Session Address.
“Democrats exposed themselves as the party of insanity and hate, the party that wants to put America last,” she declared, making it clear that the left’s antics weren’t fooling anyone.
It’s obvious why the media elites are panicking. They thrived under Biden’s cloak of secrecy and hand-picked narratives. Now, they’re being forced to share space with outlets that don’t cater to the left’s propaganda machine.
Leavitt’s takedown of Jean-Pierre wasn’t just about correcting the record—it was a stark reminder that the days of one-sided coverage are over.
