As president, Donald Trump was a media maximalist whose unavoidable-for-comment style helped generate saturation news coverage, for better or worse.
President Joe Biden has taken a stingier approach to his dealings with the press — and not all his allies believe it’s working out.
After nine months in office, Biden has conducted roughly a dozen one-on-one interviews with major print and television news outlets. That compares with more than 50 for Trump, and more than 100 for Barack Obama, in the same period, according to West Wing record keepers.
One recent poll showed a declining number of Democrats with favorable views of Biden’s job performance.
The president has sat for a few major televised interviews with anchors from CBS, NBC and ABC (twice). He also enjoys venues where he can answer questions from voters rather than reporters, appearing on three prime-time town halls on CNN.
The viewership for the October town hall on CNN also left something to be desired — a point in favor of the White House’s argument that traditional media simply matters less these days. The 90-minute event attracted fewer viewers than simultaneous programming on MSNBC, and Fox News’ hosts Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity were seen by more than double Biden’s audience that night.

Yeah, he’s low-keyin’ it these days.
Low key with his media orchestra and lapdog chorus.
Is the writer aware that Biden suffers from dementia and is incapable of taking unrehearsed complex questions and answering them cogently?
The New York Times has some excellent creative writers on its staff. They are continually coming up with new ways to put the terrible performance of Biden in a good light. The propaganda media did get him elected.
The acoustics are horrible!
is that what they call sedated these days...
When he raises his voice, he spits and sputters his lies. No joke.
Due to his HIGH key blatherings that emanate from various bodily orifices.
“...and not all his allies believe it’s working out...”
Wait until they find out that’s all he’s got.
Of course the writer is aware of this. I’m sure the New York Times has a reporter in the fake oval office where they see Biden reading his answers off of the giant flatscreen TV type Teleprompter. It probably would not work physically in the real oval office. None of those reporters mentions it. They’re all disgusting
He got 81 million votes, but the “popular”” Biden’s recent town hall
on friendly CNN attracted fewer viewers than simultaneous programming on MSNBC.
Fox News’ Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity were seen by more than double Biden’s audience that night.
Interesting.
So it’s only his allies who are concerned?
LOl becareful what you wish for Biden Democrats. He is an embarassing failure everytime you put him out there.
The whole 2020 campaign revolved around hiding crazy Joe in the basement.
Low-Key Media Strategy
Nice phrase to describe hiding.
THIS JUST IN
“I’ve been informed that it is my intention to run for re-election in 2024,” said the dizzy president to a large potted plant.
“As an exemplar of progressive ideals, it is my duty to lead this country to a better future, or so they tell me.”
” By that time, Hunters paintings will sell for millions and every Biden will be a multi billionaire, thanks to me.”
LOL!
The media CREATED the low-key Biden.
He’d still be in his basement in Delaware if it wasn’t for them...
Is the writer aware that Biden suffers from dementia and is incapable of taking unrehearsed complex questions and answering them cogently?
Apparently. Can you imagine if Trump had read “end of quote” off the teleprompter?
He is incapable of answering questions for more than a few minutes without endless gaffes or clarifications from his media team.
I would love to hijack the teleprompter.
