One thing about President Donald Trump is that as much as he railed against fake news, the man took questions from the press all the time. He was always in the briefing room. He took questions while waiting to board Marine One. The man was not one to shy away from the press.
President Biden, on the other hand … we have a library of photos of him walking away from the podium ignoring reporters’ shouted questions. We have video of him just sitting like a lump ignoring questions from reporters. We suppose he thinks he can get away with it because he’s old and hard of hearing, or pretending to be.
Even the sympathetic White House press corp let out a collective groan when Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden took an “unprecedented” number of shouted questions from the press.
Karine Jean-Pierre says it's "unprecedented that a president takes as many shouted questions as this president has."
Reporters groan in unison at the absurdity of her statement. pic.twitter.com/A4g5sIU9ch

What a joke. Trump took more “shouted questions” than anyone, plus helicopter doorstops, formal press conferences and sit down interviews, including with hostile reporters. To his detriment, I might add. https://t.co/tKMdVeuiqr

Wow. What’s unprecedented is the media pushing back on ANYTHING.

They groan, but never confront. They let her get by with amazing lies on the daily

Did she ever think he gets more shouted questions because he doesn't stand there and give them more POTUS answers?

The fact that she lies so easily with a straight face makes me wonder what is behind that mask. She is a con artist.

“I’d be happy to get the data “ Is she really saying they count the number of questions shouted at grandpa and how many he answers? And she mockingly laughed at them when she said it. She’s a real piece of work

Well. He takes questions. But doesn’t answer them. He turns his back and shuffles away.

They continue to spew lie after lie because they know the press isn’t going to contest them. Even when they are maligning the conduct of the press.

It is true, though, that Biden will generally answer the shouted question, “What flavor of ice cream did you get?”
Biden is definitely #1 at turning his back on press questions and running away

Literally, we have photo after photo of him turning his back to the press and walking out.
They cannt cover up Biden's incompetence and how they hide him from the press. Lies like these just dont get it. We all know how worthless he is.

They are still hiding Biden. Who is the least visible and accessible president ever. You see clips from previous presidents and you realise how bad Biden is. We had communication before, now we have controlled silence.

Love or hate Trump, he interacted with the press, even though they’d go on to stab him in the back.
