Biden says he's not asking press to take sides, but calls on reporters to 'rise up to the seriousness of the moments'
I’m sincerely not asking you to take sides and ask you to rise up to the seriousness of the moment. Move past the horse race numbers, the gotcha moments, the distractions, the sideshows that come to dominate and centralized our sensationalize our politics and focus on what’s actually at stake. And I think in your hearts, you know what? It was at stake. Stakes couldn’t be higher. Every single one of us has rose to play, a serious role, to play. Making sure democracy endures. American democracy. I’m more my role, but all due respect, so do you. In the age of disinformation, credible information that people can trust is more important than ever. And that makes you, and I mean it’s from the bottom of my heart, makes you more important than ever.
