NEW YORK - US President Donald Trump's testy relationship with the US media is no secret, but his election rival Joe Biden has had a rather different experience during the 2020 campaign.

But Biden only faced a question about the issue more than two days into the news hurricane, and he quickly swept it aside. The following day, Biden did not speak to reporters."Question of the day for Joe Biden," tweeted New York Times reporter Jonathan Martin."Are you in hiding most of this week because you are only willing to answer milkshake-related questions?" On Tuesday, Biden put his active campaign on pause, two days ahead of his final debate with Trump.

Last week, when Trump and Biden participated in town hall-style events in place of a planned debate, the gap seemed stark: The president was grilled by NBC's Savannah Guthrie, while observers felt Biden got an easier ride from ABC's George Stephanopoulos, a former top aide to president Bill Clinton. For Grant Reeher, a professor of political science at Syracuse University, the issue is not"as much how softly the media is treating Biden as it is how harshly the media is treating President Trump."

"When you have a candidate that refers to the free press as the enemy and incites violence against members of the press, refuses to answer any straight questions and spills lie after lie about his record, to try to compare coverage of one candidate against the other in this situation is off-base."

Every media worldwide is going way to easy on Biden. His agenda is so confusing. If that is going to be the next US President then we need to start to worry

Pedo-Joe is going down with his laptop 🤣

Its Trump who is self imploding.

Over milkshajes😂😂😂

The mainstream media totally ignored the scandal by his son Hunter Biden linking Joe Biden to bribery with Ukraine and illicit deals with Russia and China. It will costs the mainstream media if they continue to do that.

Only US media?

Absolutely, but once he is inaugurated, the media will turn on him in a heartbeat.

No doubt about it! Didn’t ST know that The Democrats owned the MSM?
