The Washington Post called US President Joe Biden a “media evader” that the authors of the article say is harming his presidency and the nation.

The article notes that over the past hundred years, only Presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan have held fewer press conferences. The publication recalled that the press conference involves answering questions from several reporters, and not a conversation with one journalist. WP stated that Biden has not held more than one such event this year and preferred joint press conferences with other politicians. “The President and his team promised transparency. Instead, he fenced himself off from the media,” the authors of the article concluded. Biden has previously described himself as the most seasoned presidential contender of all time. He expressed confidence that he had “proved his integrity and efficiency” to the American people.
