She also called on Fox News&#8217; Peter Doocy but refused to \u2063answer\u2062 his question about illegal border crossings.

In response, Jean-Pierre smirked and declared that she \u2064wouldn&#8217;t be calling on him that day. Nelson refused to back \u200cdown and accused Jean-Pierre of disrespecting a\u2063 free and independent media by blacklisting one \u200bof the country&#8217;s \u2064largest and most widely read newspapers. Jean-Pierre&#8217;s smirk and\u2064 raised\u200c eyebrows unintentionally acknowledged Nelson&#8217;s grievance.<\/p>\n<p>This incident \u2063is not an isolated event.\u200d Jean-Pierre\u200c has a history of giving \u200bnon-answers and rudely dismissing certain reporters. She hastily left the podium when a reporter pressed her\u200b on Biden&#8217;s\u200c interactions \u2063with his son&#8217;s \u2062foreign business associates. \u2063She also called \u200con Fox News&#8217; \u200dPeter Doocy but refused \u2064to answer his question about illegal border crossings.

Despite labeling the media as &#8220;fake news,&#8221; Trump maintained a level of interaction with them that Jean-Pierre seems to lack.<\/p>\n<p>While Jean-Pierre may receive \u2063sympathy\u2062 for her\u200d role\u2063 in defending \u200bthe\u2063 president&#8217;s policies, her behavior and close relationship with\u2062 the\u200c establishment media\u200b only serve to reinforce the perception of contempt for a free \u200dpress.
