President Biden Criticizes Media Focus On Gaffes Over Trump's Lies

President Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Biden participate in their second debate in Nashville

During a recent interview, President Joe Biden expressed frustration with the news media's emphasis on his gaffes rather than fact-checking former President Donald Trump. Biden acknowledged having a 'bad night' during a debate but criticized the media for not highlighting the numerous lies told by Trump.

Biden questioned why the press was not holding Trump accountable for the falsehoods he spread, emphasizing the need for balanced coverage. He dismissed the suggestion that watching the full debate would change his perspective, stating that he was present and aware of the events.

When pressed about the possibility of another debate before the scheduled one in September, Biden asserted that he was already actively engaging with the public through various events. He emphasized his ability to address questions without the aid of notes or teleprompters, showcasing his command of the issues.
