Democrats outright expect journalists to "be on their side" and feel "horrified" when they're pressed by journalists, a White House reporter says. A "prominent White House reporter" made the remark while speaking anonymously to journalist Julia Ioffe for an article on the dramatic shift in coverage of the Trump and Biden administrations, notably the expectation from the latter of positive framing. "Democrats in general have a much thinner skin," the reporter said. "There’s something gross about that, though it’s a much lower-grade gross than what we were dealing with before … The Biden White House necessitates more operating, it requires a phoniness. The reporters Ioffe spoke to largely held to the narrative that the Biden White House was a far more disciplined, professional environment than the leak-heavy Trump White House, but their jobs were more difficult as a result.
