Opinion: Biden excels at his first news conference. The media embarrass themselves.

After weeks of whining, the White House press corps got its first official Biden presidential news conference on Thursday....

Asked how “hard” he would work for his policy goals, he responded that “all my focus” so far has been on covid-19 and the economic recovery, but he promised he would get to other issues such as guns, immigration, climate change and voting rights.

On immigration, he made clear that crowded facilities at the southern border are not the result of a policy change from his administration... “It happens every single solitary year,” Biden noted. In his lengthy responses to questions on the border, he showed his skill in de-escalating issues.

One reporter mentioned a 9-year-old she had seen at the border and asked if Biden’s messaging was contributing to the problem. No, he responded, again offering a detailed answer about the problems refugees face in their home countries that create the outflow. Prodded with a question about whether overcrowding was “acceptable,” he responded, “C’mon.” Of course it was unacceptable, he said, listing steps he is taking to find more beds for unaccompanied minors. The repeated questions on the same topic were tiresome and a poor use of precious time.

Try as they might to seem “tough,” the media did not succeed in knocking Biden off message.

SMDH! Uh yup. Folks living in warm climates normally migrate north during the winter into possibly deadly freezing temps. All just for a little sledding. Good grief! And the fawnomedia ate it up. What a friggin’ sorry state.

This was one step up from “what’s your favourite colour”... but just barely

This is literally a large amount of basic common sense. Nothing really special. Sounds like sarcasm.

If it was Trump, the MSM would have been screaming to have him pulled off that stage in a straight jacket.

Jennifer Rubin’s level of stupidity must physically hurt. I would pity her but her nasty personality makes that impossible.

Jennifer Rubin would have written the same sort of article about the decrepit Leonid Brezhnev in the ‘70s for Pravda. She and most other Washington “journalists” are left-wing propagandists.

He read scripted answers to question given to him in advance by the lying media. Note he snubbed Fox News as they likely would have asked him a question off his script. Even with this careful scripting and likely rehearsals he still wandered and gave some of his bizarre answers. Jim Crow and Jim Eagle..WTF?

I suspect that WaPo has comments blocked.

” . . . he [Biden] responded that “all my focus” so far has been on covid-19 and the economic recovery . . .”

From what I’ve seen of Biden, the sum total of his “focus” isn’t all that extensive, whatever fraction of it he claims to be using.

O[[Asked how “hard” he would work for his policy goals, he responded that “all my focus”]]

He can’t even focus on questions written out for him in his notebook. He can’t even focus on stairs as he triedto show off.. he couldn’t even focus on answering reporters,, getting lost midway,, then dropped game answer altogether..

Yeah,, he’s real focused
