The American public rightly thinks the vast majority of the press are left wing propagandists. The failing reviews coming in for media performance at Biden’s recent press conference will only confirm that opinion.

FNC: “Critics have panned the way reporters behaved during President Biden’s first formal press conference on Thursday, which came 64 days into his administration and was largely devoid of tough questions. ‘It was almost as though the press was afraid to really challenge the President, so as to not prompt a gaffe or cringe-worthy response,’ DePauw University professor and media critic Jeffrey McCall told Fox News. The New York Post’s editorial board scolded reporters who behaved more like activists in a scathing column, Fox News contributor Joe Concha called the press corps a ‘disgrace,’ and Federalist senior editor Mollie Hemingway said it was ‘inappropriate’ for a reporter to claim unaccompanied minors and migrant families are heading for the United States because Biden is a ‘moral and decent’ man.’ ”

“It was quite amazing that nobody asked about COVID and just let Biden’s prepared opening remarks suffice. It was good that reporters wanted to talk about the border problems, but they uncritically allowed the President to blame the increased traffic on seasonal factors. The press also allowed Biden to claim transparency for inspecting border facilities, but only when his administration is good and ready. They also let him get away with claiming that he wasn’t visiting the border at this time so as to not be a distraction,” McCall added. “At times, the press wasn’t as much questioning Biden as just teeing him up for canned responses on topics that he wanted to address, and for which his staff had prepared notecards.

“It was nice, on one hand, that the press acted in a more civil fashion than we’ve seen over the last couple of years. There was basically no interrupting, for example, but there was also very little scrutiny of the President’s sometimes rambling answers,” McCall said.

Conservative pundit Chris Barron said the questions “might be an insult to softballs…The media’s humiliating performance was entirely intentional – which makes it infinitely worse. The softballs pitched by the approved list of reporters was more embarrassing than could be imagined.”

Cornell Law School professor and media critic William A. Jacobson felt “a small number of reporters asked good probing questions about the border crisis, and they deserve credit for that,” but they shouldn’t plan on getting the opportunity again anytime soon…Given how carefully Biden’s handlers preselect reporters, those quality reporters likely never will be called on again. The other reporters should have brought pom poms with them as a visual, because they served as cheerleaders for Biden, framing questions made to make him look good.”
