The article critiques the Biden administration's approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, highlighting the tendency of politicians and spokespeople, such as Matthew Miller, to lie or obscure the truth for political convenience. It points out that while in office, spokespersons adhered to administration narratives, but once outside, they expressed personal views, such as Miller's assertion of Israeli war crimes. The piece underscores a broader pattern of dishonesty among political figures, particularly during a challenging period for public trust in government communication regarding sensitive issues.
"You take your lumps and get it over with. Only I'm not sure it's over for Miller. In the interview, the former spokesman shared his personal view that it is without a doubt true that Israel has committed war crimes."
"You are a spokesperson for the president, the administration, and you espouse the positions of the administration. And when you're not in the administration, you can just give your own opinions."
