Biden held a press conference after meeting with Putin. And apparently this is the most important thing that happened:

Biden on tarmac before AF1 apologizes for "being such a wise guy" after sharp exchange w/ @kaitlancollins at end of presser

Tough but completely fair. https://t.co/u8qeg55TqG

Biden apologizes on the tarmac after losing his cool with @kaitlancollins, though he complains that reporters "never ask" positive questions. "To be a good reporter you have got to be negative, you have got to have a negative view on life, it seems to me." https://t.co/9veCXAU9yX

—@KaitlanCollins says she was just doing her job & Biden apologizing was "completely unnecessary."

"He did not have to apologize, though I do appreciate he did."

Collins adds that "asking the president a question does not mean it has a negative slant or a positive slant." pic.twitter.com/PoN2uxzpxV

EVerybody feel better, now? Well, no, not quite yet:

There’s a difference between skepticism and cynicism. She was expressing the former. https://t.co/oHBJk1zC6S

“You never ask a positive question” is not the same as saying the press is “the enemy of the people”

There's one in every crowd.

It would've served Biden better to not lose his temper with Kaitlan Collins. But the problem with her question is she put words in Biden's mouth that he didn't say. Biden never expressed confidence that Putin would change his behavior.

Okay, are we done now?

Good.  Heaven knows this was important.😒
