It’s not the most popular sport, but there it was: Television networks giving up afternoon airtime to a softball match. Stonewalled for 65 days by President Biden, the press decided their first opportunity to question him should be used to let him monologue on his favorite topics. The AP kicked things off by suggesting Republicans were obstructionists — how is Biden going to get around that? There were a number of questions about the filibuster, with the media basically begging the president to get rid of it. These weren’t inquiries, they were activism. Another question, paraphrased: “Republicans want to pass new election laws, would you like to tell us how terrible that is?” Most of the press couldn’t even say Trump’s name. They called him “your predecessor.” One reporter, Yamiche Alcindor of PBS, asked a question about the border premised on the idea that “you’re a nice guy.” It’s shocking how low the bar has been set for President Biden.
