White House game of playing media favorites backfires on Biden’s press secretary -
No matter which party controls the White House, a pecking order usually develops in the press briefings. But the situation has worsened under Ms. Jean-Pierre, according to several reporters who are regularly in the briefing room.
“She’s made a decent effort of moving around the room, but the moments are very carefully scripted. Spicy questions she gets in advance end up with a fairly dull boilerplate response,” said the reporter, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “What has just occurred this last 10, 15 minutes is unacceptable,” Ms. Jean-Pierre said after the mini-furor. “This is the White House Press briefing room. A historic room. A room that should have decorum. A room where folks should respect their colleagues and respect the guests that are here.”
While Mr. Ateba didn’t get a question addressed, the White House did make time during the briefing for actor James Lance, who plays journalist Trent Crimm on “Ted Lasso,” to ask a question of actor Jason Sudeikis, who plays the title character in the show.
