The no-longer-secret tiff between Biden world and the NYT has moved into new territory: Was COLIN JOST humorous?

Marketing campaign official T.J. DUCKLO later chimed in to say the paper’s assessments “as standard, badly miss the mark and say extra about them and their very own insecurities than the subject they’re overlaying,” whereas former White Home comms official JENNIFER PALMIERI referred to as Jost “one of the best comic I’ve seen in that room.”
