Gift article, no firewall:
I still object to some editorializing slants in this article, but it's at least a beginning at giving the White House perspective.

The president’s attorneys felt the early October interviews went well, only to be stunned this week by Hur’s disparagement of Biden’s memory.
....
In the view of Biden’s team, the interviews proceeded in a routine, even dry, manner, as prosecutors asked Biden where he bought a particular file cabinet and how certain boxes were packed.
Biden himself was focused at the time on more immediate and world-shaking matters, having just made a round of phone calls to U.S. allies that would affect the roiling situation in the Middle East.
Biden and his attorneys even discussed postponing the interview, but they ultimately decided against it. They had already blocked off two days on the president’s schedule and, with the investigation already dragging on much longer than anticipated, were eager to put it behind them. They never contemplated resisting Hur’s request for the interview, figuring Biden had little to hide and would benefit from being transparent, according to members of his legal team.

If you don't say these things to the paper, but only here, you're not defending Joe, you're preaching to the choir.
Just sayin'. And if you did write your OP to those papers, you'd risk showing the opposition that Democrats can be rankled by what doesn't rankle Joe, and so it wouldn't be helpful to Joe or the election cause.
Just a suggestion... You'd do better to criticize the local paper as hype that just parrots their corporate owners' horse race hype
-- because their corporate owners have been losing status as 'kingmakers' (cite a public poll on media), and
-- because they keep ignoring and disrespecting what the Biden Harris administration has done for Americans' wallets (cite a consumer confidence poll), and
-- because they will fail again, two national cycles later, to respect the power of the national Democratic coalition of voting Americans (cite a nat'l poll and not an internal Republican poll.)
Maybe add criticisms of more stupidity below, just to highlight and correct the lazy reporting or Hur errors. Readers would love if a local did that.
It seems hard but it's a good hard, and you never know where or how far your influence goes. 
But I’m on my phone for now..
It’s insane. I hope they get major Backlash
