The Biden administration offered rare condemnation of The Washington Post as well as The New York Times over tweets that hype the spread of the coronavirus among vaccinated Americans. Ben Wakana, the White House Deputy Director of Strategic Communications & Engagement who also serves on the COVID-19 Rapid Response Team, was highly active on Twitter responded to viral tweets put out by two of the country's biggest newspapers. The Washington Post was highlighting a CDC study that focused in on a "massive" outbreak in Massachusetts among the vaccinated. A Washington Post spokesperson told Fox News that she was "looking into" the situation. This marks the sharpest rebuke the White House has given to reporting from the Post and the Times since President Biden took office.
