ποΈ Kate Bedingfield Leaps from White House to CNN: The New Media Shuffle? π
TL:DR; π₯ Former White House voice, Kate Bedingfield, sets up shop at CNN. Is the media now the ‘it’ place for ex-White House officials? π€
Hey there news junkies! π Guess who’s making a grand entrance into the crazy world of cable news? Kate Bedingfield, the ex-communications maestro from the White House, is now ready to spill the beans (but, like, in a professional commentator way) at CNN.
You remember Bedingfield, right? That powerhouse who had President Biden’s back during his 2020 campaign, and who also rocked the scene during the Obama years. After leaving the high-stress, high-stakes game of White House communications in February, sheβs now taking her talents to the screen. πΊ
Seems like the media world is becoming a hotspot for ex-White House peeps, eh? πΆοΈ Is this the new trend? Bedingfieldβs move follows in the footsteps of Jen Psaki, the former press secretary who left the Oval Office vibes to dive into MSNBC with her own show. And hey, let’s not forget Symone Sanders, the one-time spokesperson for VP Kamala Harris, who also hopped on the media train. π
So, why is this trend even happening? Maybe these professionals want a change of pace, or perhaps they’re eager to provide insights from behind the curtains of the White House. ποΈ Or, could it just be the allure of the limelight? π
Real talk, it’s a fascinating shift. For decades, politicians and officials had their say, then retired, or took on roles in academia or the corporate world. But now? Itβs all about that screen time, and getting one’s voice out there, more unfiltered, and reaching the masses. π£οΈ
Bedingfieldβs successor at the White House, Ben LaBolt, has yet to show any signs of making a similar leap. But who knows? Maybe he’s next! π€·
