Joe Biden recently had a rare, in-studio live interview with MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace, where he expressed his concerns about the changing landscape of journalism. He revealed that many reporters have mentioned the lack of editors overseeing their work, and even shared a story of a reporter who was told they needed to establish a personal brand to attract viewers. Biden believes that journalism is going through significant transformations.
, Biden has previously commented on the changes in journalism. He’s occasionally sparred with reporters, and this week shouted an emphatic “No” when asked by one New York Post correspondent whether he was with his son Hunter Biden in 2017 when he was sending “Chinese shakedown text messages.” Republicans claim that the text messages show Hunter Biden engaged in influence peddling and that his father may have been part of it as well., Biden was already sitting on set at Wallace’s desk when she opened the show, and they immediately started to talk about the Supreme Court ruling on Thursday that all but ends affirmative action in college admissions. , Earlier in the day, the president made remarks on his disagreement with the ruling and, in response to a reporter’s question, said that the current court is “not normal.”, “What I meant was that it’s done more to unravel basic rights and basic decisions than any court in recent history. And that’s what I meant by not normal,” Biden told Wallace., During the friendly sit down, Wallace also asked him about proposals, coming from the left, to expand the size of the court. , “I think they may do too much harm. But I think if start the process of trying to expand the court, we’re going to politicize it, maybe forever– that’s not healthy. That we can’t get back,” Biden said.
