“How many times has Jason Bateman done a sit-down interview with President Biden: 2.”
“Almost every print reporter covering the White House: 0,” she mused on X.
A number of other celebrities including Stephen Colbert And Lizzoattended Biden's fundraiser on Thursday.
Haberkorn's observation was retweeted by a number of her colleagues, including The Independent Andrew FeinbergThe New Republic Grace SegersThe Daily Beast Corbin BoliesThe Washington Post Annah Aschbrenner, and Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson.
Biden was criticized
for his reluctance to submit to serious interviews with journalists, even skipping the traditional pre-Super Bowl interviews that presidents typically skip to, only to opt for a sycophantic meeting with Colbert shortly thereafter.
An October 2023 Washington Post article states: “Biden has held fewer press conferences than his predecessors. He has given fewer interviews to major news organizations, although he promised to restore traditional press relationships afterward Donald Trump era” and noted that Biden had only “granted a sit-down interview to one daily newspaper reporter, Associated Press.” Josh Boak“, up to this point in his tenure in the White House.
Biden previously appeared on the SmartLess podcast in November 2022.
