Worse yet - imagine that the president of the free world - Biden - needs to get permission from the White House press office to take questions from his own media.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is peak democracy here folks.

Yeah......

What was the press corp expecting from a candidate who campaigned from his basement, took interviews from only friendly "journalists," has a ready list of reporters he is "allowed" to call on, and who has repeatedly walked away from press conferences without taking a single question?
His handlers clearly don't want him interacting with the media.

Yawn.Let us know when he calls them enemy of the state.

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.

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.

Maybe they cut him off so he can't say that, or worse.

She’s been out for Biden’s blood since Day One.

Or, maybe she is reporting on Biden.

Several WH reporters have commented on this....Just a sampling.....

Since when does a foreign official/leader get to set the rules or dictate when questions will be taken in the Oval Office???

Yes, he had Haiti's president get assassinated, then he stomped his feet really hard and caused a devastating earthquake in Haiti, all so Hatians would immigrate to the US.

DP. Are you deliberately obtuse, or just actually dumb? He has made multiple declarations of welcome for migrants. They have heard him and are taking him up on his invitations. Wake up to reality.

And Trump employs them at his resorts and wineries, so I don't see how this is all Biden's fault, or even a little.

Your whataboutism is pathetic. I mean, really?

It's not whataboutism, sweetie. It's pointing out the hypocrisy in a good chunk of the responses here.
