President Biden and Karine Jean-Pierre's most memorable battles with the press of 2022
Fox News
President Biden and his administration had some memorable and even combative encounters with members of the mainstream media over the past year.
In January, Biden kicked things off by insulting not just one but two reporters in two days. After Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked why the White House was waiting for Russian President Vladimir Putin on Ukraine, Biden remarked bluntly, "What a stupid question."

RealClearNews reporter Philip Wegmann also faced a harsh scolding from the president after questioning his comparisons of political opponents to reviled historical figures.
"No, I didn't say that. Look what I said," Biden said. "Go back and read what I said and tell me if you think I called anyone who voted on the side of the position taken by Bull Connor that they were Bull Connor? And that is an interesting reading of English. Yeah, I assume you got it in the journals because you like to write."
