It's an election year, and Biden's team is signaling a more aggressive posture toward the press

There have been no declarations that journalists are the “enemy of the people.” But there are signs that President Joe Biden's team is starting to more aggressively and publicly challenge how he is portrayed. Within the past two weeks, an administration aide sent an unusual letter to White House correspondents complaining about their coverage of a special counsel's report on Biden's handling of classified documents. Separately, Biden's campaign team criticized how news media outlets spotlighted concerns about the 81-year-old president's fitness to hold office while giving comparatively less attention to comments that foe Donald Trump made about the protection of NATO allies.
