A political commentator blames the media for its “unfair” treatment of President Joe Biden. CNN analyst Joe Lockhart joined Brian Stelter to discuss how the current administration’s media coverage compares to his predecessor.
“I think the press is failing,” Lockhart said. “They’re treating him [Biden] unfairly. First off, there ought to have been a dividend for returning truth and decency to the White House, and we didn’t get that we didn’t get that at all,” Lockhart said.
Stelter suggested that Biden might be inviting some negative media coverage with the small number of press conferences he has held.
Lockhart said the media have become more concerned with viewership and ratings than informing the public.
“It is more about getting viewers than letting people know what’s going on in the country. And that’s a failure, as far as I’m concerned.”
