It's a bit much to watch the Media Guild snigger and tell Pete Doocy to walk it off after four years of drama-queen shrieking that every hostile utterance from Trump was an existential threat to journalism itself.
If you want to talk about threats to journalism, Biden was veep to Barack Obama, who mastered the art of weaponizing government against his political enemies, very much including journalists. Biden is more likely to actually suppress journalism than Trump ever was.
And if you want to put these remarks in context, Biden is a flailing, desperate man who blows his stack at the 1% of "reporters" who actually bother to ask him tough questions about his disastrous policies, on the very rare occasions he takes questions at all.
Trump constantly made himself available to a press corps that was 99% hostile to him. That doesn't excuse inappropriate language or unprofessional outbursts, but it's more telling that Biden loses his cool under a minuscule fraction of the media hostility Trump faced. /end
