The White House press corps has raised concerns about limited access to President Biden, noting that he held his first press conference two months into his presidency. In compared to Biden, former President Trump was readily available, often inviting reporters to ask questions in various settings. Despite the press's frustration over Biden's lack of transparency, the media has largely refrained from strong criticisms, with some even framing Biden's low-key demeanor as a strength rather than a deficit. This situation has been likened to Kremlin-style control over media access, particularly by critics citing how both the White House and the press handle information.
The absence of direct communication from President Biden has led the press corps to rely on trivial anecdotes about his family rather than substantial news.
In stark contrast, Trump grants access to reporters on a daily basis, holding regular press conferences and engaging with the media both formally and informally.
