Today President Biden will hold his first formal press conference after shattering the presidential record for days in office without having one.
With Biden’s presser approaching, former Bill Clinton press secretary and current CNN analyst Joe Lockhart has some advice — no, not for Biden, but for the White House press who will be asking questions:

So, the new libtard rules for "journalism" are:
1. The same rules that applied for Trump do NOT apply for Biden.
2. Biden's first press conference is NOT about anything that Biden might have to say ... NO ... it is really about how the press treats the new president.
3. The rules for Trump were for the press to be overly aggressive and obnoxious, but if the press were to apply the rules consistently, THAT would damage "journalism."
4. Public distrust of the lamestream media is extremely high ... actually because of the disingenuous, two-faced application of the libtard propagandists' hypocritical "rules" ... so, the press really needs to take it easy on Biden, unlike the ridiculous hysterics they displayed against Trump.
WOW ... what a pathetic joke.

Well isn’t this special?
The White House press corps needs to adjust to the new President. The rules that evolved around Trump should not be applied to Biden. Some in the White House press corps have figured that out. Some have not. The press conference will be a national event on how the press treats the new President.
Distrust of the media is very high in our country and an overly aggressive or obnoxious press corps may do more to damage journalism than the President. Asking tough questions in a respectful way, allowing the President to answer and not trying to make yourself the story instead of the President will be the standard I’ll be watching for.
“Not trying to make yourself the story”? Did anybody else immediately think of Jim Acosta?
Michael M. Black ~ Siri, what is the definition of hypocrisy?
Siri: "The poster child for clueless 'hypocrisy' is currently Joe Lockhart."
Steph ❤ America ~ Blatant bias. Now that their guy is in office, they're going to treat the office with kindness?! Trump should have been afforded the same respect, instead of hatred and vitriol every day.
Which is why the lamestream media is distrusted and despised by the American public - they're nothing but obvious, lying shills for the Democrat Party.
Emily Bordeaux ~ "A lot of people think we are too partisan and biased towards one side."
"How do we address it, then?"
"Remember how we hounded the last guy, from the other party?"
"Yeah."
"Let us give the new guy, the one from our side, a break."
"Brilliant!"
Dawn ~ Basically, this is how they are going to justify their 180 on handling Biden after their handling of Trump. Do they think the peons will buy it?
Well, their problem is that the "peons" are way, way smarter than they are, so ... yeah ... that ain't gonna happen.
“We’re throwing softballs at Biden to regain trust in the media” would be quite the bold strategy.
"Bold," as in the high intensity of the fetid stench it will give off ... well, then ... yeah.
