A reporter for NBC News appeared to acknowledge this week that the Biden administration has used coronavirus restrictions to limit the White House press corps' access to the president and avoid "potentially difficult or uncomfortable" questions. And then beyond that, they were able to select the folks who got to ask questions of then-President-elect Biden," Bennett said, according to the Media Research Center. They didn't know the questions that we were gonna ask, but they certainly knew who we were, all the reporters were known quantities. So there was no chance that they were gonna call on, you know, some local reporter from some unnamed newspaper who was gonna ask Joe Biden a potentially difficult or uncomfortable question." Also Tuesday, the White House announced that the president will hold his first formal press conference on March 25.
