AN EMBARRASSING DAY FOR THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS.
The biggest omission: The reporters did not ask a single question about the COVID pandemic. Not one. Not about vaccines. Not about masks. Not about economic effects. Not about schools. Nothing. There was no explanation for it, other than perhaps the reporters who were selected to ask questions were remarkably out of touch with the American people, who consistently list the pandemic as the most important issue facing the country today. Biden even began the news conference with a statement about his pandemic policies. The reporters' lack of interest was simply inexplicable. The headline in Politico was "Biden meets the press and the pandemic disappears."
