Since he is not allowed to speak to the media publicly, that will likely not happen. Yet, here we have one of his handlers... Kate Bedingfield - flat out lying......

Biden should follow Trump's example and lock the press in a basement with blacked out windows. |

It's interesting -
No matter how people want to spin it, Biden's administration is deliberately ignoring the press, or controlling them to avoid having to answer unpopular or insensitive questions - which are mounting up daily. This is directly against the spirt of a democratic society. If Trump had done this, you'd be screaming from the top of his lungs that he was a fascist dictator, because this kind of press treatment is closer to what you find in dictatorships rather than a free democracy. The joint Biden-Boris Johnson viewing only shows the deep hypocrisy in the Democrats' tolerance of the White House's press relationship as well as the press's willingness to succumb to it. Which, of course, they'd never have done if Trump was still president.... ya know
No wonder why Biden's polling is cratering badly. His administration is effectively becoming what the Democrats always accused Trump of doing but which he never actually did....

What are you smoking? Send some my way. |
It's not whataboutism, sweetie. It's pointing out the hypocrisy in a good chunk of the responses here. |
PP is exactly right. Biden is refusing to face the media because his ineptitude has caused a plethora of crises that he would rather ignore. |
Since when does a foreign official/leader get to set the rules or dictate when questions will be taken in the Oval Office??? |
Maybe they cut him off so he can't say that, or worse. |
Trump may be obnoxious but he was a much smarter and better leader for our country. It's not even been a year and what a mess he's made. |
When CNN and MSNBC talk sh$t about him you know it's bad. He's become the fodder over Trump. Trump was a malignant narcissist, but he was a decent president. Heck even Jimmy Carter beats this guy. |
| This is peak democracy here folks. |
He was not a decent president. He let COVID rip. He ignored Puerto Rico after it got hit by a hurricane. He needlessly and forcibly separated families. He grifted off the office. He was horrible. |
If Trump had done this...you realize that Trump did worse than this right? He shut down all press briefings for a year. That's 365 days with no one - not a White House Communications Director, Press Secretary, or the President briefing the press. You are still getting DAILY White House press briefings and weekly roundtable briefings from defense, state, and health. March 11 marks an entire year since the Trump administration has held a televised White House press briefing led by a press secretary, signaling a drastic break from long-standing White House tradition with the Washington-based press corps. President Trump has held less than half as many of these traditional press briefings—the daily, televised briefings held by a press secretary—during his tenure as the two presidential administrations prior. https://rsf.org/en/news/death-daily-press-briefing-how-white-house-closing-door-american-people And before that -- when he did briefings it was insult matches between his PS and the press. After that it was just the PS lying her face off about the pandemic.
