We remember all of the takes from liberal journalists after President Joe Biden’s rare press conference last week about how he didn’t lash out at any reporters as the former guy did. Actually, he did get very testy with RealClearNews’ Philip Wegman, who asked him about his speech in which he compared those who opposed a federal takeover of elections with famous racists and segregationists.
Here’s Yamiche Alcindor commenting on what a change it was that Biden didn’t lash out at reporters.
Pres Biden, in the longest news conference in presidential history, made news, pushed back on critics, called out lies, took responsibility for mistakes he believes he made, expressed surprise at GOP, talked foreign policy and didn't lash out on reporters.
Quite the change.

We can’t tell for sure if it was Fox News’ Peter Doocy’s question as Biden’s handlers were rushing the press out of the room, but Biden mumbled that the reporter was a “stupid son of a b*tch.”

Colleague Peter Doocy asks Biden if "inflation is a political liability ahead of the midterms?" Biden responded sarcastically. "That’s a great asset. More inflation. What a stupid son of a b**ch."

Biden seems a little touchy about inflation. And being asked questions.
The least courageous person in media @brianstelter instead of actually saying what he believes, just retweets what he’s too cowardly to say himself. pic.twitter.com/Kln5sXjKfL

Stelter apparently thinks Trump calling a journalist a son of a bitch exposed reporters to “threats and intimidation” but Biden doing it should just be dismissed as a mere “blip.” pic.twitter.com/OtimT8sdkU

The libs on Twitter defending Joe Biden are laughably desperate. You don’t get to stake an entire campaign on a return to civility / no more mean tweets and then say the president calling a reporter a “stupid son of a bitch” is a light comedic moment. They made the rules.

Biden called Peter Doocy stupid son of a bitch. Super presidential.

Didn’t Biden say the press were the smartest people he knows?
I was told by the left wing blue checks Joe Biden would treat reporters with respect. This is two straight pressers he has cursed reporters for their questions. https://t.co/DiJM6sC99M

Joe Biden in January 2021: "If you are ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect… I promise you I will fire you on the spot."

Will be fascinated tonight to see who actually explores and analyzes Biden's bizarre outburst about a VERY basic inflation question — the latest of several bizarre media outbursts to obvious questions…
… and who makes the story about Fox and @pdoocy.

Biden’s tolerance for critical questions is incredibly low. He’s not used to it so he constantly snaps at reporters when he faces tough questions. It’s also why he takes so few. https://t.co/kRs9gNjcnK

People forget that a big part of why Biden had to drop out of the race in 1988 was a reporter asked him about his academic record and Biden spent 2 minutes making stuff up about his achievements to prove he had a higher IQ than the reporter: https://t.co/7ZYN3i73Eo https://t.co/39mCD29EdY

I hated it when Trump personally attacked the media and I think it's awful that Joe Biden called a reporter (as antagonistic as he might be) a stupid son of a bitch.
Call me crazy, but it shouldn't be hard to be consistent here, and we should expect more from our presidents.

Is this like a new strategy or is it just a bizarre new twist in the Biden experience? https://t.co/zfdU3st3Gm

Isn’t this a direct attack on the free press? Doesn’t it make all reporters less safe? Doocy’s life could be in danger now. Let’s see “Reliable Sources” take that angle.
Biden called this from @JacquiHeinrich a stupid question…
But it doesn't seem so stupid now that the WH is reportedly considering putting personnel in different places around Russia and potentially sending more support to Ukraine. https://t.co/0EfC3w1ltM
