CNN analyst Joe Lockhart says WH press should go easy on Biden so they don't fuel further distrust of the media

Today President Biden will hold his first formal press conference after shattering the presidential record for days in office without having one.

Well isn’t this special?

The White House press corps needs to adjust to the new President. The rules that evolved around Trump should not be applied to Biden. Some in the White House press corps have figured that out. Some have not. The press conference will be a national event on how the press treats the new President.

Distrust of the media is very high in our country and an overly aggressive or obnoxious press corps may do more to damage journalism than the President. Asking tough questions in a respectful way, allowing the President to answer and not trying to make yourself the story instead of the President will be the standard I’ll be watching for.

“We’re throwing softballs at Biden to regain trust in the media” would be quite the bold strategy.
