Watch: The Question of 'Why Isn’t Joe Biden Doing More Interviews' Gets Definitively Answered

Though White House press secretary Jen Psaki is soon to be headed over to NBC Universal’s “Peacock” streaming service for a cushy MSNBC-style gig, she’s being peppered with questions on her way out the door about why President Biden is so often sheilded from the press and the “perception” that he’s not a very effective communicator when his handlers do decide to allow him out of the basement.
For instance, as we previously reported, Psaki sat down Wednesday for an interview with Chris Wallace on the soon-to-be-shut-down CNN+ streaming service. During the segment, Wallace was surprisingly tough on her regarding the Media Avoidance Strategy frequently activated by the White House comms staff.
Psaki dodged and weaved as Wallace asked her why Biden “is so sheltered from the press,” and dropped receipt after receipt on her, including the stats contrasting the interviews Joe Biden did in 2021 in comparison to interviews other recent presidents had done in their first year in office.
“By comparison, Jen, that’s sheltered,” Wallace correctly pointed out.
It is indeed. And while the White House will gaslight the American people from now until 2024 by refusing to acknowledge Joe Biden doesn’t just have press access issues of his staff’s own creation but also messaging woes that are solely his creation, a definitive answer was, in a way, given to the longstanding question of “why doesn’t he do more interviews?” during a South Lawn ceremony Monday involving Biden and the players from the Tampa Bay Lightning, who won back to back Stanley Cup championships in 2020 and 2021.
As you’ll see in the below video clip, things got off to a rocky start when Biden appeared to mispronounce NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman’s name. It sounds like he calls him “Gary Batman”:
