President Biden’s Few Media Appearances: “It’s A Deliberate Strategy”
President Biden has been aggressively campaigning for the Democrats ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. Along with touting Democratic accomplishments, the President has ramped up his condemnation of ‘MAGA Republicans,’ even using his recent prime-time address to speak on this issue. Multiple major news networks deemed it too political and chose not to air it while the address resurfaced a conversation surrounding President Biden’s few interactions with the press. Host of Media Buzz on the FOX News Channel and the Media Buzz Meter podcast, Howie Kurtz joins the Rundown to explain how the President has received what he calls ‘a pass’ from the media on his infrequent interactions with journalists and his aggressive campaign rhetoric ahead of the midterms.
The latest Consumer Price Index report sparked fear on Wall Street as inflation caused the Dow to plunge to the worst it’s been since June 2020.

Many worry that the Fed’s expected aggression could send the weak US economy into a recession. Senior Economic Analyst and Washington Bureau Chief at Bankrate Mark Hamrick joins the Rundown to explain what the Fed must do in order to control inflation, the impact it could have on the economy, and how a looming railroad worker strike could lead to even more economic trouble.
