President Biden holds first formal news conference since taking office

President Joe Biden has a new goal for his first 100 days.

[jeffsanders]

Imagine if Trump waited almost four months to hold his first news conference as President. The media would have gone nuts!

“What is he hiding?” “Does he have dementia?” “Why won’t he talk to us!?!”

[everready]

Watching the news today is like watching a sci-fi movie from the 80's. God help us all.

[charlescurran]

What a joke. He wasn’t “grilled”, he was given softballs and excluded any reporter who would have asked a tough question.

[pughconsulting]

Medical professionals who voted for him should be questioning their careers.

[KW]

Grilled = prepared questions and prepared responses

[grth]

At this point, the insanity level is 20 out of 10 scale.

"What are your going to do with gun control?"

"Lead pipes!"

[PV]

Funny, no one asked about Hunter’s gun winding up in a grocery store garbage can across from a school.

This conference was hilarious. Better than anything the Babylon Bee could've made

[leetroy]

"Grilled" now means being asked simplistic, pre-planned, vetted questions in a soft tone.

Joe Biden: "Today I walked in on Hunter and his friends vaccinating themselves...see this is the unity we need in America. C'mon man!"

[Blktailhunter]

Wow. I didn’t realize he was that far gone. Dementia is really setting in. Just imagine if the press had actually asked some real questions

[saratoga]

The people that go above and beyond to edit these and cover up the total absence of cognizance and coherence deserve an award...and a special place in hell lmao

[bangdingowww]

"This makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle!"

*Joe Biden in his head*
"Nice one, Joe."
"Thanks, Joe."

[whiteglint]

I watched the whole thing and that guy struggled. He struggled hard.

[xxxxxx-tqmw]

This was no press conference. It was a charade with all of the questions having been submitted ahead of time and all of the answers prepared for the teleprompter and paper reference notes for him to read.

[barkacademies]

Why aren’t you reporting the multiple times he forgot what he was saying mid sentence, or answered with rambling sentences that had no relevance to the question presented.

[leesanction]

"What are you going to do about gun control?"
Biden: Goes on a 5 min rant about infrastructure.

[lockehegemon]

That whole thing was just sad. Way to go “Free Press” those hard hitting questions were sure to keep us informed. I wonder what flavor ice cream Joe likes? Maybe you Investigative Reporters can get on that. Joe was a sad performance but the Media’s performance was even worse than Joe’s.

[anderander]

I think the whole thing was canned with questions and answers already prepared. Definitely NOT off the cuff
