NBC reporter admits White House used COVID to limit press access, avoid tough questions for Biden
Fox News
A reporter for NBC News appeared to acknowledge this week that the Biden administration has used coronavirus restrictions to limit the White House press corps' access to the president and avoid "potentially difficult or uncomfortable" questions.
Bennett began by citing "spacing and access" issues reporters have had, in addition to the White House forcing journalists to pay an average of $180 for their own COVID tests, which he said smaller news organizations or freelancers may not be able to afford. "One of the things that people didn't get good enough sense of -- this was certainly the case during the transition -- was that the COVID restrictions allowed the Biden team to really limit the reporters who were brought into those press conferences in that theater in Wilmington. And then beyond that, they were able to select the folks who got to ask questions of then-President-elect Biden," Bennett said, according to the Media Research Center.More Related News
