Why isn't the corporate media covering President Biden as he is speaking?

Chuck Todd with MSNBC just cut away as the President was talking about the cost of child care at 14,000 per child because he wasn't talking about the Supreme Court and CNN isn't covering anything.

I had just flipped on MSNBC and there was President Biden speaking about the BBB and the cost of child care 14,000 per child per year and I thought he was going to make even more critical points and Todd immediately interrupted and said he's not talking about the SC and cut away.

I put it on CNN and they weren't covering him live at all.

it's more about how they want to shape the narrative and Todd simply can't relate or doesn't care as to what the vast majority of the American People are going through, he's comfortable.

It's all about selling with them.

President Biden is too competent, stable, and likable for our current corporate media.
