I wonder if this White House correspondant and her Comrades have considered doing their jobs and all demanding answers?
No – I said there are a number of reasons why the media hasn’t been allowed access to Biden, and it’s not all because he’s been secretly declining behind closed doors.

No – I said there are a number of reasons why the media hasn’t been allowed access to Biden, and it’s not all because he’s been secretly declining behind closed doors.
This admin has NEVER liked when Biden speaks off the cuff, so they try to limit it – ie. when he called Laken Riley’s killer “an illegal”, which he first defended when asked about it – and then retracted after pressure from certain parts of the base, in an arranged sit-down with MSNBC.
Also this administration values constituency media, not the ‘legacy’ outlets. They are very data-oriented and calculated long ago that they are best served getting their message out via friendly outlets that serve voters they want to reach, like podcasters and Black radio.
They don’t “need” us, according to their analysis, so they often feed us workshopped answers and keep us at an arms length. Now they’re seeing it backfire.
Remember, Biden first took office as a Senator in 1973, meaning he had to campaign before that. Then he spent 8 years as VP. Speaking off the cuff is a requirement for anyone running for office and in office. And this guy can no longer speak off the cuff? An elected politician that cannot answer questions without cue cards and feeding outlets the questions? That is one hell of a big red flag for Biden’s mental health.
And, seriously, who the hell is stopping the POTUS from speaking off the cuff? He’s the POTUS, right?
