Biden and his reelection team are reportedly calling the media to visit their headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, to tell them how to report on the Biden administration in an election year.
This is just another reminder that the vast majority of the media operates like the public relations arm of the Democratic Party.
No Republican would ever bother trying that because the media would laugh it out of the room, but anything to help a fellow Democrat, right?

Biden campaign launches re-education camps for media to change its coverage
Clearly, the very positive media coverage Joe Biden has gotten is not enough for his campaign, and his team has come up with a brilliant solution: bribe the media by giving them access in exchange for instructions on how to fix their coverage.
President Joe Biden's re-election campaign has begun organizing a series of unofficial trips for senior political reporters and editors to the team's headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, and to meet with senior officials, including the campaign manager, representatives and other senior advisers. To get basic briefs on campaign strategy,” Semafor said. “They also use it as an opportunity to tell them what they're getting wrong.”
Things get worse.
“Two people familiar with the situation told Semaphore that during meetings with reporters from outlets like the New York Times, Washington Post and others, campaign officials cited a coverage spreadsheet that identifies areas where the team believed their reporting was inadequate.”
It must be nice to be a democracy. You can even tell the media how to cover you.
Imagine calling yourself a journalist, and when Biden invites you to the Doctrine Office, instead of telling the old man to go to the sand, you force him to do so. https://t.co/i7jDYykAL1

They are not journalists, they are advocates.
