New York Times blasts Biden for avoiding interviews
Just a moment...
The Times in a statement called it “troubling” that Biden “has so actively and effectively avoided questions from independent journalists during his term.”

As well they fucking should - there are some absolutely idiotic political consultants trying to minimize his public appearances so he doesn't look old and they're fucking idiots. Now, he had a much bigger issue in being a Netanyahu apologist but public appearances driver voter turnout.
I dunno why people are downvoting this. You're absolutely right. Biden doesn't give as good speech as Obama or Clinton did, but he is pretty charming when he turns it on. He should definitely be in front of cameras, and crowds, more often, especially as we get closer to the election. He's not perfect, and his tepid stance toward Palestine is saddening, but on domestic policy, he's been far better as president than I personally expected - probably the most progressive president since LBJ. He's done more with less political capital than past Democratic presidents, yet a lot of people don't really realize that, because he's not talking directly to the populace as much as he could and, I think, really should.

Because many people in this community can't take any criticism of Biden, even if it's done by people who want him to be better and win the election. It's sad and counterproductive
I didn’t know the New York Times was required to break the Earth shattering news that Biden is old. Or that Trump is a traitorous, rapist, conman. Or that water makes things wet.
Newspapers typically focus on the news, not on things everyone already knows.
