As reported by New York Times White House correspondent Michael Shear, President Joe Biden has held the “fewest” press conferences since Ronald Reagan was in office.
In a piece for the outlet, Shear called out the Biden administration for being one of the least accessible presidents to the press in 100 years, despite his administration pledging he would have one the most transparent presidencies.
The reporter surmised that Biden’s few interactions with the media is evidence that “his political strategists want to protect him from the unscripted exchanges that have often resulted in missteps and criticism.”
