The text questions whether Biden banned reporters from the White House.
Infact verdict: Mixed (48/100).
The claim that Biden banned reporters from the White House is misleading. The evidence indicates that the Biden administration updated the requirements for White House press credentials, which resulted in a reduction of permanent press passes. This policy change was defended as necessary for maintaining a relevant media presence, but it does not equate to an outright ban on reporters. The claim is therefore partly true but misleading in its implication of a complete ban.
