Regardless of your view of Biden's decision to pardon his son, this reaction from a prominent, well respected reporter illustrates why the legacy media is in such steep decline.
Had Biden wanted to explain, there were an endless set of more relevant options available to him than a news conference.

Because then it is just you clowns and you are about as strategically inept as they come.
Even David Muir said Biden backtracked on the pardon since his interview. And that pretty much ended Muir for me.
Anyone with journalistic integrity would not have whined about there not being a press conference. They would have reported on the story.
And of course the Lies. The tons of lies that brainwashed the brainwash-able and put trump back in office.
And because of Elon and the Oligarchs taking over….Cap The Rich as well. Earnings over one billion must go to pay for all services like Social Security.
Isn't that what the Supreme Court just told us, and the electorate confirmed?
The president can sell pardons of course he can pardon his son.
How about starting your tripping down the yellow brick road with the felon and his pardon party. God only knows what’s coming next.
As a matter of good governance, if not law, Presidents do owe the public their reasoning behind every pardon granted.
If, as Biden repeated stated, "No one is above the law,"
How can you credibly say, "President Biden doesn’t owe anyone any explanation."
How's about expecting the orange blasphemy to provide explanations for his criminality...? If you can complain about one, best be ready to complain about the worst, multiple offending one as well.
I want the truth and expert opinion.
Not expressing six different biased opinions of every thing
Reporters personal opinions shouldn't be flogged on the front page, above the fold.
Wealth gap is gonna increase to the moon next.

The Newsmongers, I didn't know that it was a book written about the Canadian news media (I'm Canadian) written in 1986. So, these media criticisms long predate the internet.
The book refers to the media as a 'privately owned publicly utility.'
If a political reporter works for a major legacy news site or network, I automatically assume they're a selfish, dishonest prick *at best*
Hindsight is 20/20 but I feel like the @lincolnproject.bsky.social understand this type of strategy better than anyone at the DNC.
Dems' inability to control narratives lost them the election IMO.
Those convicted family members are now part of his administration and still nobody cares
Biden did the right thing and I for one applaud him for it
But if he had, Biden should have taken a few questions, then abruptly end with, “Because I can.”
🎤 Mic drop.
Biden's complete explanation was included in his statement.
Watching and listening to them is meaningless
The media chose their side a while ago and it isn’t with the majority of the American people. The media is at fault for not sticking to the facts and editorializing their “news” shows..
Better that than throwing away his knowledge of political maga reality in our country today and any compassion he might bring to his job
Either that, or they only listen to the newsroom (and Fox News) for their understanding of America. Certainly not their (now former) paid subscribers
At least he's not selling pardons on his way out. Where was the media's outrage and exhaustive questions over that?
At least tie it up in court for years.
Stick to the facts, and venture out of the orange bubble - make news NEWS again.
Fuck him right off the edge of the universe.
The MSM getting huffy about not being allowed to ask questions over something trivial, when they never even stand up & ask what needs to be asked on things that matter
I believe the SCOTUS said that's okay too now.

Reddit.
how many of that same media asked trump as to whether he'd pardon kushner's father?
the media has created the news for biden but not for trump
Not viewers/readers!!
Stop depending on them for news and look for other REAL NEWS alternatives.
Some folks need to
the opprobrium of
the World Dicktater.
If you did something you know
the World Dicktater doesn’t like,
you’re afraid.
What you then do is frantically start
doing anything you can think
of that will please
the World Dicktater.
Frankly, I would have disappointed if Biden hadn't pardoned his son.
Let them ask about Alexander Smirnoff instead.

Ain’t gonna go back again, either. Brian Tyler Cohen, Belle of the Ranch, and Randy Rainbow are all I need to get me through 2025.
Oh, and of course, Democracy Docket. Thank you, Marc & DD team!
What pisses me off is 4 years of DOJ control and the only accountability we have is a show trial for Hunter Biden.
Who delayed the National Guard response on 1/6?
What were in the classified docs?
What happened to the secret service texts?
Joe never really got it.
news conferences like the "news" needs to be swaddled and convinced of something.
Honey, it's not about YOU !
What I saw in the press the last wk is Biden mixing w/people while on vacation, and doing Presidential things
"...Security experts concerned about this, call for recounts of paper ballots in key states.”
