Is 'The Indian Press Better Behaved Than The American Press'?

Daily Mail: Biden jokes 'the Indian press is much better behaved than the American press' days after he refused to take questions during meeting with Boris Johnson 

* President Joe Biden met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday 

* Before the meeting started, Biden said the Indian press 'is much better behaved' than the American press 

* He also advised the prime minister not to take questions from American press 

* 'You could not answer questions because they won't ask any questions on point,' Biden told Modi 

* None of the comments were included in the official White House transcript 

* Biden has been feuding with reporters for months including this week's debacle when British Prime Minister Boris Johnson answered questions and Biden didn't 

President Joe Biden said the Indian press 'is much better behaved' than the American press during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Friday visit to the Oval Office. 

This comes just days after refusing to take questions from American journalists during Tuesday's meeting with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. 

'I think what we're going to do is bring in the press,' Biden said Friday as he and Modi sat down for their meeting.

Biden does have a point. The desire of our media to go off topic in search of the "gotcha" moment and twisting any of your responses completely out of context is well known. Perhaps one's best bet is to simply ignore them.

Of course this works fairly well for team Biden as the media is largely on his side. Essentially they obviously aren't going out of their way to find or report on anything negative regarding Biden or any members of his team and obviously the leadership class will go to war with China or any comers to protect Hunter should they deem it necessary.
