White House spokesman complains about media coverage of Biden's cognitive ability: 'Striking inaccuracies'

White House Counsel's Office spokesperson Ian Sams expressed frustration at negative media coverage of President Biden after a controversial report called into question his mental sharpness and ability to serve as president.

In the letter first reported on by CNN, Sams admits that "covering the report is challenging" because it is "nearly 400 pages long" and "not straightforward."

Sams also claimed that Special Counsel Robert Hur's report, which called Biden a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory", was "wrong and inappropriate personal comments have distracted from due attention to the substance."

But Sams focused in on negative media coverage of Biden's mental acuity after the release of Hur's letter. Shortly after Biden gave a press conference responding to Hur's report, The New York Times, Axios and other major liberal outlets concluded the event was a "disaster" and a public relations nightmare.

The spokesperson claimed media outlets have "reported striking inaccuracies" that gave a misleading portrayal of Hur's conclusions.

"But those facts stress the importance of careful, patient coverage," he wrote. "Instead, many outlets have reported striking inaccuracies that misrepresent the report’s conclusion about the President, and reporters in the White House Briefing Room have asked questions that include false content or are based on false premises."

In his letter, Sams "included several examples from prominent news organizations in which their headlines could have been more comprehensive," according to CNN's "Reliable Sources" newsletter.
