Why anyone would take an interview with CNN, Fox, etc. is beyond me. Especially if it's to the "opposition media". Fox will only bait an Dem, and CNN will only bait a Rep. There is no substance to either.
these weren't cnn interviews. seriously, you don't remember this?

eggplant xoe would NEVER face a hostile member of the press on live tv even once, much less face dozens of them over and over again as trump did.

Should he walk backwards? Maybe side-shuffle? I've never seen a POTUS walk any direction other than "towards the exit". Never really considered it rude to "walk towards the exit" when you're done.


And every presser, not just POTUSs, usually ends in questions being screamed and unanswered. At some point, that's the only way to get done. It's like drinking a beer in Japan, the only way to not get hammered is to leave your beer full. (If you don't know Japanese culture, this analogy may not make sense.)

If you actually watched some of his interviews, the mainstream press holds his feet to the fire more than your side seems to think.

And as already mentioned, Biden has had more solo pressers than Trump in his first year, so there's that.
You live in fantasy land...

He acts like a little demented tyrant. Well maybe "acts" is not the right word..he "is"

It must be very confusing to the old fella. His handlers tell him he’s great. The press tells him he’s great. Jill and Hunter tell him he’s great.

But those pesky polls he hears whispered about in his presence.

Very confusing.

yep. can you imagine vegetable xoe ever facing anyone from the press even remotely as hostile as jimmy acosta on live TV?

he'd either curl up like a fishing worm or go into full grandpa-screaming-at-the-sky meltdown mode.

instead, his press toadies ask him if chocka-chocka chip is still his favorite ice cream flavor.

in a fair world he'd face questions like these:

Quote:
— Mr. President, why is it harder for people to vote in your home state of Delaware than in the state of Georgia? And why do you support legislation that guts voter ID requirements on the state level when an overwhelming share of Americans supports voter ID?

— More than 2 million people crossed into this country illegally last year, sir. Record numbers of fentanyl have entered the country via the border as well. Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for people between the ages of 18 and 45. More than COVID-19. More than suicide. Why haven’t you visited the border yet, given the crisis there? And what are you doing specifically to address this crisis?

— Sir, you’ve claimed that adding trillions in new spending via Build Back Better would decrease inflation and the deficit. Can you explain specifically from an economic perspective how that would work?

— Mr. President, 16 major cities set homicide records in 2021. All are run by Democratic mayors. What is your message to mayors and police forces across the country who are experiencing a morale crisis?
