We had hoped we were through with Trumpian BS in the White House

But no. The Biden administration is sending asylum seekers back to wait in Mexico (which they say was court ordered), selling arms to Saudi Arabia (which Senate Democrats approved), and now whining about bad press.
Administration officials are increasingly pointing the finger at the press, saying news organizations are unfairly covering the White House and contributing to Biden’s tenuous public standing nearly a year into his presidency.

Multiple White House officials recently shared a Washington Post column published with the headline: “The media treats Biden as badly as — or worse than — Trump. Here’s proof.”

[...]

On Thursday, more than five dozen liberal groups sent a letter to key media stakeholders urging more balanced coverage of the 46th president. In it, organizations condemned what they consider the “pervasive pattern of under-reporting and negative bias toward the actions and agenda of this administration.”

The momentary frustration carried over to some in the White House, who were angry that Biden’s health dominated that afternoon’s press conference. During the briefing, several reporters asked about the president’s cold and his testing regimen for COVID-19. The jobs report went largely ignored.

What the hell did the administration think the press would be interested in?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
