Towards the end of the presser, an asshole reporter begins, "This is a delicate question..."
Then proceeds to pronounce that 80% of the American people Democrats included, say that you, Mr. Biden are mentally unfit to be president. (Paraphrasing)
"How do you account for that?"
Biden: (Like a champ.). "I have no idea."
Then he just proceeded to the next question.
I was in my car do I know know the Newsman reporter's name. Will he be invited to future pressers?

(7,839 posts)good pay and you get to go to the WH and so can self delude yourself, and delude others
I am a real journalist, worthy of your respect
when everyone knows, other than the deluded, they are mere paid puppets.
A job at a real newspaper was taken by infinite number of Twitter Typists punching out pithy not news headlines for mass consumption, by the hour.
Feel a bit sad for this person, in a way.

(15,325 posts)Yes, Paid puppets.
...way overpaid.
Imagine having the opportunity to finally stand before President Joe Biden & THIS is the sort of question you manage spit out?
Just go home, pull the blinds & hide for a long time.

(24,412 posts)Who was the reporter and where were they from? OANN? Newsmax? Faux? I mean, of course, there are still people that believe the Earth is flat and the moon landing was staged. That doesn't make them credible, however, of course.
Sort of glad though that he got a chance to shut that down.

(63,912 posts)If he/she is mature enough to figure out what a waste of time these antics can be, and then start asking mature questions maybe he can keep his place in the press corps at the WH.
A "time out" just might be what this reporter needs, to grow up a little.

(7,839 posts)Dont care for the reporter, dont care for the noise coming out of said reporters spout really, so best thing to do is what Biden does with IdiotEnglish noise sorry, dont speak Idiot English.
CTyankee
(63,912 posts)a good purpose. I'm sure they will do something similar.

(7,839 posts)crazy media as well.
The reason for all these enemies, I think, is the profusion of social media and concentration of power in social media and a handful mass media corporate boardrooms.
Lies from social and rw media, half truths from the rest of the media.
Biden is trying to to get the better half to go full truth. The other half is not worth two bits of thought about cause why dot that? Waste a second on lies?
, as Biden has explicitly said more than once
dont care what other liar guys are spewing
including TFG
but the media wont report on that.
CTyankee
(63,912 posts)know that's just not true..."
I can't think of a better way to open up on these idiots...
That said, there are some fine people in those press events. I wish we could clone them.
