22. I don't think Biden is worried about the MSM because it sure hasn't stopped
him all these years. :7, but rather that he may be getting "guidance" from the WH. Unlike when he was his own boss and speaking only for himself, he's now considered as a voice FOR the WH, so I think that has tempered his natural instinct to answer and speak no-holds-barred. In fact in a recent interview, you could see him pause and the wheels turning before responding - something we never saw before he was VP!

And I always enjoy your posts, too, abq e streeter! And you can feel free to disagree with me any time, friendly or frenzied! :hi:
