Opinion: Biden excels at his first news conference. The media embarrass themselves.
WaPoo ^ | March 25, 2021 | by Jennifer Rubin

After weeks of whining, the White House press corps got its first official Biden presidential news conference on Thursday....

Asked how “hard” he would work for his policy goals, he responded that “all my focus” so far has been on covid-19 and the economic recovery, but he promised he would get to other issues such as guns, immigration, climate change and voting rights.

On immigration, he made clear that crowded facilities at the southern border are not the result of a policy change from his administration... “It happens every single solitary year,” Biden noted. In his lengthy responses to questions on the border, he showed his skill in de-escalating issues.

One reporter mentioned a 9-year-old she had seen at the border and asked if Biden’s messaging was contributing to the problem. No, he responded, again offering a detailed answer about the problems refugees face in their home countries that create the outflow. Prodded with a question about whether overcrowding was “acceptable,” he responded, “C’mon.” Of course it was unacceptable, he said, listing steps he is taking to find more beds for unaccompanied minors. The repeated questions on the same topic were tiresome and a poor use of precious time.

Try as they might to seem “tough,” the media did not succeed in knocking Biden off message.

Biden spoke in great detail and length to show not only his mastery of the issues but also to suck tension and conflict out of the room.

Associated Press said he had no slipups. I guess they went to the bathroom when he said he’d been in the Senate for 120 years.

A reporter should take the other reporters to task over that. Don’t let up. Make their blatant hypocrisy front and center. Call them out on it by starting off the questioning period by saying “first of all, I just want to make clear how hypocritical the msm in this room are. Had Trump given a press conference like you just did sir, the msm would have been screaming about how u fit he was to lead.”

He spoke at great length and detail to show that the people who wrote all his notes had mastery of their craft.

This garbage from a lady who would be perfectly happy to operate the guillotine that smites my neck.

Jim Crow and Jim Eagle..WTF?

That was a cute (but insulting) line, told with all the competence and timing of a five-year old who has a great knock knock joke but wants you to start it.

Media: “Is there anything we can do to help the woke revolution, Joe?”

Bai Dinh: “Depends.”

Media: “Depends on what?”

It’s seems the MSM is dumbfounded over Biden; the glow is slowly dissipating.
