Did I miss it or in addition to there being no questions at the press conference about the pandemic were there also no questions about the economy?
So issue number one and issue number two for the public in every poll and... they just don't come up?
I get that reporters prioritize their personal interests and what they think will make news, but this is pretty out of touch.

I feel like I'm having trouble calibrating on this one because "priorities of WH reporters diverge wildly from those of the public" is such a deeply normal media problem.
Just seems like after weeks of claims that press conferences were in the public interest -- not just in the interest of reporters -- there'd be a little more alignment there!
