Biden took a few more question today on the tarmac in Geneva and actually griped toward the press that they never ask him a positive question:

Here’s the video:

That’s an amazing statement from Biden considering how he generally gets glowing treatment from the media. Fox example, here’s something from earlier today where a CNN hack gushed about Biden’s handshake with Putin:

Can you imagine how upset Biden would be if he got the treatment that Trump got from the press and media? He apparently has no idea how easy he really has it.
Here’s some reaction:
That's pretty much all they do — imagine if he had to deal with 1/1 billionth what any Republican does, much less the previous president. https://t.co/H4767PWGyy

When Trump voiced complaints like this, we got endless tweets from about how he's a "threat to the free press." https://t.co/TkkEVII3d9
