And what\u2019s more, the White House went on the record with the gripe \u2014 they want the world to know he\u2019s a crybaby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere has been a fundamental disbelief, particularly among the D.C., east coast press corps, in Biden\u2019s vision, in his strategy, in his tactics, in his ability to do the things that he said he would do,\u201d White House communications director Kate Bedingfield <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/amp\/shows\/meetthepress\/blog\/rcna52719\">told<\/a> NBC News reporter Mike Memoli.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are reams and reams of headlines and tweets from reporters declaring his agenda dead, that he was out of date, he was out of touch with where the country is. And what\u2019s happened is we\u2019ve put together a historically successful set of legislative accomplishments that has defied those expectations,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>What color is the sky in Biden\u2019s world? Americans are being crushed by inflation, skyrocketing gas and food prices, and soaring crime. And every recent poll shows that voters blame Biden \u2014 even though he\u2019s busy calling it all \u201cPutin\u2019s price hike.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president openly blasts the press as adversarial, despite the fact that most reporters covering him are liberals. In a 2020 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2020\/04\/10\/journalists-may-be-liberal-this-doesnt-affect-which-candidates-they-choose-cover\/\">survey<\/a> of journalists conducted by The Washington Post, nearly 8 in 10 said they were liberal or Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, when reporters were being herded out of the Oval Office after a White House abortion task force meeting earlier this month, they barraged the president with questions. Biden the scold was indignant: \u201cYou\u2019re among the only press in the world that does this. Seriously, seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Uh, for the record, Joe, that\u2019s our job \u2014 and it was enshrined in the Constitution by the Founding Fathers.<\/p>\n<p>In his interviews with White House staffers, Memoli found a deep undercurrent of disrespect for press coverage of the president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Joe Biden\u2019s press team has made no secret of their frustration with the way their boss is covered. And of late, the president is venting that frustration himself,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDay by day, Biden has come to share that view of some of his closest advisers, that the press corps simply just doesn\u2019t \u2018get\u2019 him and won\u2019t give him a fair shake. But Biden has not exactly stiff-armed the mainstream press,\u201d Bedingfield noted. \u201cHe just engages with them much differently than his predecessors,\u201d Memoli wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Differently? Try hardly at all. Biden has done far fewer press conferences and sit-down interviews than his predecessors. President Barack Obama had conducted 231 interviews through September of his second year in office, but Biden has done just 42, according to the NBC report.<\/p>\n<p>Memoli, quite possibly one of those 8 in 10 liberal reporters, defends Biden and the lack of access by the media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bottom line view for this White House is there are diminishing returns in engaging in more traditional press interactions with members of the Washington press corps that in their view remain \u2018fundamentally skeptical\u2019 of Biden\u2019s performance. Beyond some of the more non-traditional formats for putting Biden out there, the White House has prioritized using members of their Cabinet and senior staff to do local and regional press interviews,\u201d Memoli wrote.<\/p>\n<p>But if Biden thinks the media coverage is bad now, just wait until after Election Day 2022, when he loses both the House and the Senate, and Democrats \u2014 along with his pals in the media \u2014 realize he\u2019s a huge liability and bail on him in droves.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
