President George W. Bush's first news conference was on 2/22/01. It lasted 30 minutes, was held in the press briefing room, and he took 23 questions, including numerous follow-ups. (Plus an argument w Helen Thomas.)

I look forward to watching Biden's first news conference.
Here are topics that the Biden press corps should have asked about during the campaign, but won't come up now - even though they're legitimate stories:

A.) Hunter Biden's conflicts of interest
B.) Joe Biden's role in investigation Michael Flynn.
C.) Tare Reade questions
Here's what i would ask:

1.) Will you commit here and now to direct DHS to allow press coverage on the border?
2.) Why don't you believe Gov Cuomo's denials of sexual harrassment. You denied allegations against you. Why should you be beleived, but not Cumo.
3.) Tell me about your routine at the WH. You're the oldest president in history. What time do you arrive to the Oval Office? What time do you leave? Winston Churchill regularly took naps and found it helpful. Do you take naps?

MSM should treat Biden’s “w/o evidence” statements the same as they treat Trump’s. Yesterday, he said, “Christmas is going to be a lot harder. I don’t want to scare anybody here, but understand the facts — we’re likely to lose another 250,000 people dead between now and January.”
As @jimgeraghty points out, “The US suffered about 3000 deaths from the coronavirus yesterday. There are 27 days left in this awful year. If we lose 3000 people per day for 27 days, we will see 81,000 deaths. That will be terrible, but that will not be “another 250,000 by Jan.”
“If we are generous and assume Biden meant the end of January, another 3,000 deaths for another 31 days would be 174,000 deaths — still well short of the 250,000 that Biden predicted.”

After a lifetime of hearing that voter fraud is real, it seems to me that this is the perfect opportunity to find out if that’s true - or not. Even if the margin is too big to turn around the election, it’s worth a full and deep dive to learn whether or not there is cheating.
In Philly, for example, did 5 dead people vote? 50? 500? 5000?? We should all want to find out, not just for Pres. Trump’s sake, but for all future elections, national and local. The media should see this as a perfect test case to dig into something - and inform the public.
In places where ballots were mailed to everyone for the first time, how did it work out? How many ballots were sent to bad addresses? To people who moved? To apartments with new residents? Did signatures match? Did people vote in two states?

Biden Takes Dominant Lead as Voters Reject Trump on Virus and Race nytimes.com/2020/06/24/us/…
Want to see a bad poll and know how they did it? This NYT poll slashed the number of Rs surveyed. In 2016, Ds were 36% of the electorate and Rs 33%. This poll has Ds at 39% and Rs just 28%. Liberals in 2016 made up 26% of the voters; in this poll, liberals are 35%.
When you oversample Ds and liberals, of course you get a big lead for Biden. How on earth did this poll get approved and into print without these facts being noticed or reported? @jmartNYT @alexburnsNYT @ByMattStevens

Harris a fake, empty-suit. She accused Biden of being a segregationalist, but then agrees to run with him. Either she faked her allegation against Biden, or she's faking now.

She faked her position in favor of Medicare for all, until it became upopular. Then she opposed it.
She produced a fake, edited video about what Brett Kavanaugh said about birth-control. She got caught faking Brett's statements.
She once acted tough on crime, but that too was fake. During her race for the presidency, she agreed with a speaker who said the police "serve the rich and then they just harass and take up space in poor communities."
