... in a contrived dog-and-pony show – excuse me, a press conference – is NOT an accurate or useful metric for Biden's "presidential" skills. Public speaking is not a President's most critical attribute. Judge what he says, not how he says it. His accomplishments thus far are the better measure, and serve as a map to where he'll go in his second term.

"If it bleeds, it leads" is, and has always been, the guiding principle – if we dare use the word, "principle", in this context – for those in the journalistic profession who regularly exploit what they consider to be the inherent elasticity of truth. Common human decency and ethical considerations are just momentary annoyances. And viewed through their crimson lens, Biden is bleeding, but only because they knifed him.
