Former DNC Chair Donna Brazile expressed dissatisfaction over media coverage of Joe Biden, suggesting that no one seems to pay attention when Biden speaks. Brazile made her remarks on ABC’s “This Week” during a discussion about U.S. policy toward Israel and whether Biden needs to communicate more directly about events like the conflict in Gaza.
“Absolutely. Not just in Israel, Ukraine. We are a superpower. He is the Commander In Chief. Absolutely, he should speak out more,” she said. “Also we should cover what he’s saying because often when he speaks, nobody listens.”
Brazile’s comments come amidst ongoing complaints from the White House about the media’s reporting on Biden’s age and cognitive decline. Washington reporters covering the Biden government have expressed increasing fatigue over what many are interpreting as unjustifiable criticism from the White House.
Fox News contributor Joe Concha responded to Brazile’s criticism by suggesting that Biden’s heavily scripted persona might contribute to the lack of attention he receives. Former ESPN host Sage Steele recently revealed that network executives entirely scripted her interview with Biden.
Concha also raised concerns over Biden’s tendency to blunder when speaking spontaneously, often leading to awkward, puzzling statements, or even outright inaccuracies, thus necessitating follow-up clarifications from his communications team.
