... as all you know, the President takes questions several times a week. He took questions actually twice yesterday, which is an opportunity for the people covering the White House to ask him about whatever news is happening on any given day ...

The stenographers will write the crap they pull from their ass anyway.

We know what POTUS is doing, he’s busy working for the American people. We see him daily in meetings and working on vaccine distribution. In 4 months POTUS has secured a dose of vaccine for ever adult in the country. Talk about the best people. The polls say that a clear majority of Americans approve of what the President and Vice President are doing. I couldn’t care less what the media cries about. If they had been truthful from the beginning, we may have avoided so much of the mess we’re in today.

They have to focus on inane BS like this just to have a story to write (despite there being a whole load of things that they could be writing about in regards to things like COVID, 1/6, Trump scandals that they can probably have more access to information about now, etc.).

I think that they're also adrenaline junkies and are having withdrawal going from covering a crank like Trump, who-whatever else you may think of him- commanded attention to somebody sane and stable like Biden. They just don't know what to do with themselves and are stepping on themselves.

15. The corporate media (aka "the media")is useless, arguably hostile to your views, wants and beliefs.

This includes, unfortunately, many of the people you folk love.

I cut them all off during the Bush II regime.

Those entire years were COLOSSAL failure on all levels, including and especially the media who never pushed back on the lies of that Administration.

They haven't changed, and have gotten progressively worse in many aspects.
