Democrat Joe Biden’s White House transition team has reportedly disabled the chat function on their Zoom virtual press conferences after invited journalists began complaining about the group’s lack of transparency.
As the Daily Wire reported last week, reporters were becoming “frustrated” with the Biden team — and Joe Biden himself — because the team appeared to have a slate of favored journalists who were always called up on to ask questions during the team’s virtual press conferences.
The “New York Times, CNN, Washington Post, PBS and Politico” were given the opportunity to ask questions of the team at nearly every press conference, while even mainstream media outlets like the Associated Press were shut out.
“Hey guys, there tons of folks looking to ask questions and since this is being done once a week, could we PLEASE go longer or at least hold more frequent briefings,” a reporter from the Daily Beast said in the chat of a Zoom press conference held last week.
“Any chance you can take a few more questions? There are a lot of folks here with questions,” Zeke Miller from the Associated Press added.
“Is there a point in saying we want to ask questions if you only call on the same small group every week?” another asked.
The system had a direct impact: Biden’s team rarely had to answer an unexpected question, particularly about touchy subjects, like an ongoing Department of Justice investigation into his son Hunter’s finances and foreign dealings. Biden has yet to answer questions on Hunter’s issues in any substantive way, and even then when questioned by late-night television hosts, not network reporters.

Xoe's hoe in no match either!
Bang Bang Fang Fang and the Bauld faced lying treasonous Idiot Swalwell.
They DEEP STATE stole the election. Next comes the FORCE OF GOVERNMENT. Liberal Tyranny is wonderful!!! Freedom DIES with these usurpers!
"They DEEP STATE stole the election."
Let's keep the faith that you may add the word "unsuccessful" to the sentence, or there will be no FORCE OF GOVERNMENT applied.
The MSM will let the Bidens cheat and steal while standing idley by and pat the puppy on the head. Soon they will have commie komala to deal with. She'll rather lock you up than question her administration. We need more FREE press in this country. Someone who is gonna take the fight to them.
Free and honest press? You mean.like the ones the Deep State Tyrants already CENSOR from our eyes and ears?
I still don't see the slobbering love affair between MSM and "Anyone but Trump" ending anytime soon. The most important question the current group of so called reporters will be asking is, "Boxers or briefs?" as they did with Obama. Ukraine & China financial scandals...nothing to see here, let's move on. Same old stuff, pound the Republicans, kiss Democrat butt.
Republicans are a complete disgrace!
Swamp is Swamp.

Sung to the tune of "Mr. Ed", no doubt.
But you'll have to admit, pretty disgusting.
