A new leak has revealed an off-the record conversation between President Biden and a journalist in which the President openly whined about negative press coverage.

As The Daily Wire reports:

On a recent Air Force One trip, Biden dropped back into the media seating area to “criticize the quality and tenor of press coverage of his administration,” Politico’s West Wing Playbook reported Wednesday.

“Joe Biden doesn’t do many off-the-record chats with reporters. So the traveling White House press corps was surprised and intrigued when the president dropped by Air Force One’s press section for one such session with them during a recent trip to the West Coast,” the left-leaning website reported. “But Biden wasn’t just there to field questions. He had his own message to deliver. According to multiple people familiar with the off-the-record session, he used much of his time with reporters to criticize the quality and tenor of press coverage of his administration.”

The sessions present a conundrum for reporters. On Air Force One flights, there is only a single reporter from print media whose job is to report back to other reporters not on the president’s plane exactly what went on. But an off-the-record session is never shared with those other reporters with the dual thought that, first, they may one day be fortunate enough to be in such a session and, second, because the president cannot speak candidly off-the-record if what he says is widely reported.

But still, along with the print reporter, there are upwards of a dozen media members in such sessions, including TV, radio, and wire service reporters, as well as half a dozen photographers. It’s not unusual for what the president said aboard Air Force One to leak out and make its way into the press. In fact, reporters who attend the off-the-record sessions will often relay the conversations to those who didn’t, with the caveat that the president’s comments remain off the record. That doesn’t always happen.

Biden has so far refused to have a sit down interview with any major news outlet for over 119 days.

  1. What a whinner he is!!!! Clean up your act or more of the same!!! He hasn’t got a clue about why!! Loser…..

  2. Why should we be surprised? He’s a fake president so he wants fake news coverage. The truth hurts little Joey’s feelings. Awww, too stinking bad you demented traitor!

  3. Give me a break ! Joe Biden has never “whined” about anything as president . Trump did nothing but whine as our so-called “president “. This is pure projection, a typical conservative tactic in America .

  4. Like all democrats, they are only interested in themselves, their friends, their comrades and their reputations!

  5. Negative press for a negative man. Negative as in zero (0). He is a 0, that’s all there is to it.
