Biden Miffed About Media Scrutiny | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Tristan Justice of the Federalist probes presumptive President-elect Joe Biden's discomfort with probing questions from mainstream media outlets. Those questions offer a stark contrast to Biden's typical media interactions.

  • Former Vice President Joe Biden isn't used to getting real questions. On Friday, Biden appeared dumbfounded as to why a reporter was asking the projected Democratic presidential-elect a question as the press pool was being scurried away by staff.
  • "Mr. Biden, the COVID task force said it's safe for students to be in class. Are you going to encourage unions to cooperate more to bring kids back to classrooms, sir?" asked CBS reporter Bo Erickson.
  • "Why are you the only guy that always shouts out questions?" Biden said.
  • It was a bizarre episode for the 78-year-old Democrat, who enjoyed the least amount of media scrutiny on the campaign trail of any modern candidate running for president. While serious revelations were emerging, revealing Biden's role in his son's potentially criminal overseas business dealings, reporters asked hard-hitting questions such as what kind of ice cream Biden purchased at a pit stop.
  • Erickson was also one of the few reporters to ask Biden about the scandals plaguing his campaign, bombshells suppressed by Big Tech and either ignored or dubiously delegitimized by other mainstream outlets. When pressed on the issue, Biden lashed out at the media. ...
  • ... Meanwhile, one would be hard-pressed to find California Sen. Kamala Harris, Biden's running mate, at any point throughout the entire general election campaign taking a single question from a reporter during a press conference.
  • The media gave a preview of how it would treat a Biden administration on Monday, when Biden began speaking with reporters, who lobbed him softball questions. Joe Concha, a media reporter for The Hill, dubbed the incoming presidential press corps "The new marshmallow media in the Biden era," in a column published Thursday.
