Not a single reporter questioned President Joe Biden during his first solo press conference for the administration's flip-flopping on its massive tax hike proposal.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said during a March 17 press briefing that “families” with household incomes totaling over $400,000 will see their taxes increase. The statement contradicted Biden’s indication that individuals — not families — would see taxes increased during an interview with ABC News that aired the same day: “Yes, anybody making more than $400,000 will see a small to a significant tax increase. If you make less than $400,000, you won’t see one single penny in additional federal tax.” The Wall Street Journal summarized that the narrative shift meant that “if you’re a two-income household making $200,000 each, you could get whacked.”
The pro-Biden White House Press Corps didn’t even bother trying to hold him to account for the apparent deception.

It was all scripted. Questions approved beforehand as well as the reporters. It was canned and done poorly, at that.
La Cosa NostrAmerica is in plain sight for all to see.
They aren’t reporters. They are shills.
The ten: Zeke Miller, Associated Press; Yamiche Alcindor, PBS NewsHour; Seung Min Kim, WaPo; Cecilia Vega, ABC; Ken Thomas, WSJ; Kristen Welker, NBC; Nancy Cordes, CBS; Kaitlan Collins, CNN; Justin Sink, Bloomberg; and Janet Rodriguez, Univision.
They each need to be asked how the questions were handed over, or if they were given some ‘gift’ to just ask particular questions that the WH wanted.
The panegyrists in the media are nothing more than the Democrat cheerleading section.............
Good little lemmings those DemoRat party so-called journalists. Lapdogs for their masters who throw them a doggie biscuit now and then. Cheerleaders without the batons and pom poms.
See it’s like the stimulus check misunderstanding. We give and take on how we define the total or in Clintonese it all depends on what total means.
What a contrast with President Trump. He fielded their many questions and welcomed the tough ones if asked with intelligence, respect and without any catty vitriol that was often hurled at him. Most journo’s are dim bulb lightweight leftard shrills and screeds - unworthy of their chosen career.
Not o e reporter asked him if he had a good trip
Hard to beleive that America can’t see through the lefts continual nonsense and fake lying agenda. Hard to beleive that a majority of Americans wanted less money In their bank accounts, open borders, more taxes fines and regulations, more people laid off a d losing their homes, more mask mandates, more shutdowns, etcetcetc
The “watch dog” media flips from attack dog media to lap dog media.
There should be someone with a towel to wipe the slobber off of Biden from the tongue bath.
There was this though....

What they’re doing, at this point, by the way, is sifting through their tax and party identification data to figure out where set the new tax rates. Basically they have a HUGE PROBLEM in that much of their white voting base lives on the coasts, and many have incomes right were they would ideally target tax increases to get the most revenue - roughly $150k to $300k. So they are in a quandary.
...and obviously the $400k talk was to get elected.
The funniest thing I read was that Biden had super large size 14 point script cards to read from. Plus he had pictures with names of the reporters that he was to call upon for questions.
Talk about totally scripted.
He did have a very good trip. We all saw it. Three trips in fact.
Woo hoo!
Would been funny if someone nearby yelled out “see you next fall!”
Lol tht was a good one. Ronald Crump. Reporter 😆
Embarrassing for me. My undergrad degree was journalism. But I particularly barfed at Yamiche Get-A-Room Alcindor’s turn with the microphone.
