Joe Biden was condemned for taking pre-approved questions from journalists during his Geneva summit with Vladimir Putin - then moaning at a journalist for 'never asking a positive question.'

Biden made his complaint after being asked to provide 'concrete evidence' that 'suggests any movement has been made' with the Russian leader.

I vaguely remember Obama complaining about and abusing the press too. Neither one has anything to complain about.

They asked why President Trump got 2 scoops, while everyone else only got 1.

Free Press? Ask Julian Assange about that.
My disdain on Assange”s continuing torture as my gov’t wishes to sentence him to 175 years in prison includes Biden, and Trump.

And precisely what would this demented jackass know about a free press?

The left doesn’t have to use draconian methods to control most of the media.

The USA is now so “WOKE” that the mainstream press and social media enslaves itself.

Yep, can’t make this stuff up. Dems are the picture of hypocrisy, then they accuse others of it.

Only if it was not preplanned, handed to the reporter to ask, and then on Joe's list of approved reporters to call on. How pathetic.
