Emma C: I also think they all got used to getting easy scoops with the leaky-ass Trump admin, and are mad Biden's staff doesn't leak them juicy gossip. Not much Biden could do about that unfortunately.

The only thing I would add to this very good 🧵is, when Biden et alia decided to antagonize the political press corps, they didn’t turn them into a foil—they reaped the downsides of pissing off the political press corps without gaining any of the benefits.

This thread from Matthew Chapman at the Bad Place is a good analysis of why the DC press corps are turning on Biden. x.com/fawfulfan/st...

Did they decide to antagonize or did they decide as the thread suggests that the DC press corps are idiots and they decided to not engage them.
