Joe Biden engaged in a giant softball game with the press today – perhaps best described by Newsbusters‘ Curtis Houck as not “even putting the ball on the tee,” rather “This is hitting the ball over the stands and letting Biden run the bases.”
But before we get the choreographed Q&A, you should know that Biden went full Ron Burgundy today – reading “end of quote” off the teleprompter.

The Friday flub comes just one day after Biden read ‘topline message’ off another teleprompter.
Oops! Joe Biden read the “topline message” part of the talking points his handlers gave him for a TV interview.

Nothing about meeting with raging antisemite, Jacob Blake Sr, in the pursuit of more woke points? Nothing about his tax plan that he said his people would ‘shoot me’ for revealing?
Joe Biden is Kenosha says that he can’t lay out all his plans in more detail because if he goes on any longer “they’ll shoot me.” pic.twitter.com/N33k3wyuJl

Perhaps people will take the press seriously when they start asking serious questions.
