Some media organizations were stuck with $25,000 charges after President Biden decided to skip part of his trip Australian tour to return to Washington for negotiations with congressional Republicans over a debt ceiling increase.
The decision stuck media organizations with the tab for a trip that never happened. And some correspondents think it could prompt their bosses to pull back from covering the president on overseas trips, dooming future charter flights.
In an interview, Keith said her organization is seeking to recover as much of the travel money as possible, though it wasn’t clear how much was possible. Although charter flights are almost always more expensive than the commercial kind, journalists say they need them on presidential trips to keep up with the man they’re covering. Commercial flights often don’t dovetail with the president’s schedule, meaning reporters risk missing the story if they can’t come and go when Air Force One does.The growing costs of the flights has reduced the number of reporters covering the president when he goes abroad.
