President-elect Joe Biden's transition team disabled the chat function for reporters on conference Zoom calls, where journalists had been pressing officials to take more questions. "The Biden transition team appears to have disabled the public chat function on its transition zoom calls, a place where I and others had been routinely complaining to them to take more questions," incoming Politico White House editor Sam Stein tweeted Wednesday. Stein and other reporters expressed frustration on the chat on Dec. 18 after one Zoom call where the transition team took only five questions. Biden's transition team did not respond to a request for comment. I think you'll see a huge change in the culture in the way this White House treats the media."
