Biden Shuns Press at Key Summit, Sparks Media Outrage

The Biden administration has found itself facing a rare rebuke from the White House Correspondents’ Association, an organization tasked with ensuring the American public receives a fair view of the president’s activities. This time, the frustration arises from the administration’s decision to block reporters from covering Biden’s high-profile meetings with leaders from Australia, India, and Japan, set to take place at the president’s rather exclusive Delaware home. It seems that Biden is more inclined to keep the press at arm’s length than to invite them into his inner circle.

While one might assume that hosting the heads of these allied nations during his final “Quad” summit would warrant some level of transparency, the Biden White House has other ideas. Reporters are expected to be mere spectators as if they are watching a parade rather than the key moments of U.S. diplomacy. This plan allows the world leaders to arrive and depart without any real scrutiny or reporting on the substance of their discussions—a strategy that could leave anyone wondering what Biden is trying to hide.

The WHCA president took to the airwaves, lamenting the lack of access for journalists and subtly suggesting that restricting media coverage on U.S. soil is a slippery slope. It’s not just reporters who are shut out of the loop; it’s the American people who are left in the dark about what their president is discussing with global leaders. One would think that transparency and accountability are part of the fabric of democracy, but apparently, those values are more of a novelty in Biden’s administration.

This incident marks the latest in a series of complaints from the WHCA regarding the Biden administration’s tendency to limit press engagements. Back in June, the association raised concerns when Biden himself whined about reporters asking questions that clashed with his preferred narrative. Apparently, the everyday challenges of a president don’t include coping with journalists seeking the truth. No, instead, they should stick to topics that fit neatly into the president’s talking points. Good luck with that.

If history teaches anything, it indicates that a president who dodges media scrutiny is likely gunning for more than just privacy; they may be aiming for a hidden agenda. As reporters are stuck outside, spectators to a democratic event that should involve them, Americans must wonder if portraying transparency is just as outdated as the outdated policies that got Biden elected in the first place. It appears that if you want a front-row seat to the Biden administration’s version of world diplomacy, you might need to bring your binoculars and a good viewfinder.
