'Truth-to-power' update! Biden tells reporter to 'shush up' -- all reporters shush up

President Biden is still in Japan for the G7 Summit. Biden’s trip got off to a confused and stumbling start but he hasn’t lost his ability to keep reporters in line with plenty of help from those same reporters.

During a joint appearance Biden flashed some of that “transparency” cred we’ve come to expect:

When Biden says “jump” most reporters still reply “how high?”

He will continue to shovel dog shit down their throats and they will continue to ask for more of it with big smiles. https://t.co/RdLmf7BkU3

The room got awful quiet after Biden said “shush up.”

And the media takes it. They’re so weak today. I wonder which alphabet media that reporter was from so I can go point & laugh at them… like Joe did

That’ll teach the press for trying to ask Biden a question and then not pushing back in the least.

Can't handle all this transparency.

Imagine if trump, or any Republican for that matter, told a reporter to “shush up.” https://t.co/LvehR8fQ8G

It’s a good thing Biden’s come along and the days of Trump being rude to reporters have ended:

An open and independent press is more important than ever in times like this. They deserve to be treated with respect — not belittled with schoolyard taunts from this president. https://t.co/eIiJO6uJfr

Yep, there’s nothing more respectful than “shush up.”
