Dan Gainor: Questions for Trump, Biden from the press are like MLB fastballs vs. extra-easy softballs

It all depends on which candidate the “journalists” support.

Compare two recent press conferences. Both President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden were gearing up for their trips to riot-torn Kenosha, Wisconsin. Only Trump was the target of fastball after fastball. Every journalist pitch was designed to make him strike out — or to flat out bean him.

Reporters raised questions about whether Trump’s arrival “could exacerbate tensions and increase violence.” Then they pressed him to see why he wouldn’t meet with “the family of Jacob Blake,” the man shot following a fight with police.
