President Joe Biden relied on a list supplied by his staff when calling on reporters during his first press conference in eight months.
His shocking announcement critically undermined his defense against accusations that staff run the White House, stage managing Biden and limiting his exposure to unscripted events and meetings.“With that, I’ll take your questions. I’ve been given a list of people to call on here,” Biden said at the end of his prepared remarks, which he mumbled through despite reading from a teleprompter.
Biden paused to check his list, reading out “Reuters, Jeff Mason.”

So, I'm trying to figure out how they think that makes this a "big boy press conference" when it's the same as all his other dealings with the press. These people are really clowns.

On Fox the sound and video was not in sync for the reporters. Why was that?

This is Joe Biden. He's doing the best he can do. Cut him some slack. Cut him lots of slack.

It looked to me like he had the Answers written down as well as who to call on! I'm sure the People called on were given the Questions they should ask. Wouldn't be at all surprised if Biden had a Wire or Earpiece giving him all of the Statistics and people's names and on and on. There is no way the man who bombed so bad during the Debate was able to stand at this Presser and spout off all of the answers, and more information than was needed, to prove he is not Senile! I don't buy it!

The ever present teleprompters, preselected reporters and no doubt a heads up on their questions. His answers to most were rambling, loaded with stumbles and bumbles, most of which lead into the weeds with the attempt to sound like he was on top of things and eventually the original question was lost. At one point, near the end, he became angry and that creepy whisper thing he does was..well...creepy! I am sure the Dems will tout this as proof he is fine, let them, because he will have another "bad night" soon enough, maybe during that next debate, if there is one. He did nothing to reassure that he is fit to run this country, he never was fit IMOHO!

IOW, only liberal and favored media may speak. To Joe's dismay, he still received questions that he could not answer and they made him angry and defiant.

So I guess he's saying he's the most powerful person in the world with his hand on the nuclear button who will do whatever his staff TELLS him to do.
Well, that's reassuring, isn't it.

Looks like Joe had a list of people to call on and answers he would give. Wouldn't it be funny if the reporter asked a completely different question. And Joe read off the provided answer like "Now salute the Marines"?

That was a highly scripted press conference by Biden’s crew. Notice there were no substantial questions about the out of control borderline or the causes of inflation. They stayed away from Biden’s “open borders” schemes with Biden off the cuff mentioning that he is working with Mexico, probably meaning that he has made an under the table deal with Mexico, that if they keep the massive numbers of other than Mexican Third World prospective illegal aliens away South of the US border until after the election, that he will not allow Mexican illegals aliens in the USA to be deported. On inflation that is No doubt being caused by Biden’s massive spending that he has outright been taking credit for. Clearly to be picked by Biden’s crew to ask a question a reporter had to stay away from those issues.

I am disappointed that Biden did not do worse. There were nuggets in his presser that both supporters and foes could cite for their side. It was inconclusive, not enough to knock him out. "Vice President Trump" and "Putin" as president of Ukraine were comical and typical, still not enough.

Not only was Joey given a list; most of the questions were softballs. What happened to the "angry" press?

Of course you have, it's the way you operate. Oh, Did you get the questions first and then you get the answer in your ear piece?
