Biden is getting some stick for not facing the press but quite frankly it's a welcome silence after the former guy's verbal diarrhoea.
From Washington Post:
... Joe Biden still hasn’t had a formal news conference since his inauguration on Jan. 20. Thursday was his 50th full day in office.
The seven-week stretch is the longest a new president has gone without meeting the press in the past 100 years, dating back to when Calvin Coolidge, a man known as “Silent Cal,” was president...
... His reluctance to do so since becoming president has attracted comment and criticism from allies and foes alike.
Kayleigh McEnany suggested last week that Biden is ducking the media to avoid gaffes, and that his staff is “protecting” him from the sort of unscripted exchanges he would face in a news conference. Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows made similar comments to Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday, and Hannity alleged that the White House is continuing to “hide” Biden.
... White House press secretary Jen Psaki said last week that Biden will hold his first news conference “before the end of the month,” though she didn’t specify a date. She said Biden’s “time, energy and focus” have been elsewhere — specifically, on the coronavirus pandemic, the economy and the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill passed by Congress this week.
At this point in office, Trump had given five news conferences. Obama had given two, George W. Bush three and Clinton five.
However, those figures require an asterisk. Four of the five news conferences Trump gave during this period were the bilateral kind, in which the president and a foreign leader appear jointly and take turns calling on reporters. He went solo in only one of the five. Obama, Bush and Clinton also appeared alone just once during their first 50 days.
