Axios - President Biden and former President Trump have one
big thing beyond old age in common: They duck difficult questioning by
reporters, with historic stubbornness. During his 3+ years in office, Biden
has refused to give a single interview to White House reporters for The

it the safe-space election. Biden is more likely to talk to mainstream
outlets, and Trump to echo chambers. But both pop up for questioning
with sycophants, supporters and sympathetic journalists. It wasn't always so. Biden and Trump not long ago loved mixing it up
with more serious reporters. But whether it's age or bitterness about
coverage, they're hiding in their own witness protection program. MORE
