Experts evaluate former Vice President Biden, often face polite questions from journalists, and are rarely criticized by the US media, according to AFP. Some experts have also noted a stark disparity in the behavior of the US media against the two presidential candidates, in part attributed to Trump’s tough style, according to AFP.
At campaign rallies last week, Trump vowed to continue corruption allegations that Biden’s son Hunter had profited from selling access to his father. ) in Ukraine and China.
The American media also persecuted, but reported cautiously and the Biden campaign has denied all allegations. Biden only received a few questions on this topic, but declined to comment and limited contact with reporters last week. President Trump also said that Biden was “depressed” and was trying to evade allegations of corruption.
On October 18, Mr. Biden answered only one question, but about the taste of the shake (shake). “Question of the day for Mr. Biden: Are you hiding for nearly a week ready to answer smoothie-related questions?” Said the newspaper’s reporter Jonathan Martin. The New York Times comment on Twitter.
The Biden campaign also halted events on October 20, two days before the final debate with rival Trump (October 22). Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, media access to the 78-year-old former vice president was much more limited than in any previous campaign. Only about 20 local and international media outlets can follow Biden in his campaign.
The American media has been mildly accused of Biden
Last week, Trump and Biden attended two question-and-answer sessions with separate voters live on television at the same time.
Observers noted that NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie was rushing to turn the sentence into trouble for President Trump. Meanwhile, Biden is getting more comfortable with ABC host George Stephanopoulos, who is former President Bill Clinton’s top aide.
“The questioning is much gentler for Mr. Biden than it is for Mr. Trump. This is too obvious, ”said Richard Benedetto, former journalist USA Today and is currently a professor at American University in Washington DC
President Trump has also accused the media of being soft on Biden. Professor Grant Reeher, professor of political science at Syracuse University, said he believes that “the American media appears to be supporting Mr. Biden.” Specifically, the editorial boards of most of the leading newspapers in the United States include the newspaper The New York Times and sheets The Washington Post openly support Mr. Biden.
Several other experts have defended the way the US media is taking a tougher approach to Trump. “It is necessary when we have a candidate who sees the free press as the enemy of the people and refuses to answer blunt questions,” said Gabriel Kahn, a journalism professor at the University. Southern California (USA) told AFP.
