So apparently journalists are mad at the Biden campaign because... they only supply cheap snacks like Kind bars and bottled water at events? 🤔
Just how badly underpaid are journalists if they're whining about this? Could we fix media by taking up a collection for better snacks?

This is not a new thing. Carter was for example, infamously cheap at feeding not only journos, but Democratic leaders of Congress. This caused Tip O’Neil to complain “Hell, Nixon served us better food!”

seems a rather... petty concern when paired with all the lofty posturing about providing a check and balance on the political process

Yeah, my father was with NBC news in the 1960s and Fox Movietone newsreels before that. When I started reporting he told me that you choose between routine news events by the volume and quality of the grub. You might be stuck at a presser venue for hours, so food.
