he calls on pre-selected reporters and then reads answers from notes, looking like he knows what question is coming.

So, it's like his upcoming debate with Trump?

I hope Trump’s team has a jammer to shut down Biden’s earpieces.

Edited FTA for clarity-—— after his strange answer WRT pardoning Hunter, another bizarre moment was when Biden snapped at a reporter for daring to ask a question about Hamas (b/c the subject that Biden had prepared for was Ukraine and the G7).

That raised again the question of what kind of journo deals Biden has going?
<><>he says he calls on pre-selected reporters
<><>then reads back answers from pre-made notes,
<><>this looks like it was an arranged deal
<><>that Biden knows what question is coming
<><>that Biden is unable to respond spontaneously
<><>that the president of the US has pre-arranged q’s and a’s.

Previously Biden had indicated the “deal” he spoke about
meant each reporter wouldn’t be asking multiple questions.


But now White House Correspondents Association President NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell is weighing in with a statement. They’re not at all happy about what Biden said: “The White House Correspondents’ Association believes it is in the public interest to make clear that at a presidential press conference, at home or abroad, there are no preconditions regarding question topics.

“While the White House does determine the number of reporters the president will recognize, it is up to professional journalists to decide what to ask. Any leader may prefer that reporters ask only one question or ask only about a topic that is of most interest to the president or another world leader, but a free press functions independently.” She added, “WHCA would welcome more opportunities to pose a range of questions to the president in a press conference setting.”

They appear to be throwing Biden under the bus for saying there are no “deals.” So in order to save face, they’re saying what Biden is telling us is not true. On the other hand, if we believe that there are deals, that’s also problematic........that Biden needs/wants such an accommodation.

Yes, at times he might not have the information he’s queried about, but if a president can’t answer questions on the fly, that’s a big problem.

......while Biden’s statement says, “journalists decide what to ask,” it doesn’t clarify whether questions are given to Biden or his team in advance.......although they do dispute pre-existing deals about “the number of questions.”

I keep imagining that the “debate” ends up being biden being given the questions and making prerecorded answers that are played back so that he can spend all day trying to make one good cut to a question.

It is an extraordinary revelation that journos now
acknowledge “the people’s interest” in what they do.

This weasel reportedly met with at least one witness before the trial. He ought to be charged with obstruction of justice for witness intimidation.

If he is saying he will not pardon Hunter nor commute his sentence, it means the fix is already in.

So, her cover up in this feigned “angry reply” adds one layer of whitewash over Biden’s incontinence (er, incompetence) doesn’t it.

You have to give it to her for at least nailing the problem.

Whether she’s sincere......who knows?

That the problem....there are no journals in the White House Press Corp, with the exception of Peter Doocy and his wife Hillary.

Hiding in plain sight is the fact that Biden has not held even a single actual press conference in his last 4 years. It’s remarkable that a free press has not made a big deal out of that.
