The Briefing with Jen Psaki · Psaki: Trump can't hide by attacking the free press · 19 Sep 2026 podcast

I remember that moment very well. podcast-host

Getting caught by old boss on a hot mic, calling a member of the press corps a stupid son of a bitch. podcast-host

OK, can't see him there in that clip. podcast-host

But the man Joe Biden was talking about was none other than Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy, someone who we tussled with quite a bit during that administration. podcast-host

And I think what makes that particular interaction relevant today is not what happened actually in that room that I just played, but what happened right after. podcast-host

That's enough. podcast-host

President Biden insulted a reporter. podcast-host

I mean, not lightly, like he really insulted a reporter in what was intended to be an off mic moment. podcast-host

But that doesn't really matter in that moment, does it? podcast-host

And then called to make amends with him. podcast-host

And as you heard him say there, no matter how the president or I felt about Peter or the network he worked for, what they were reporting on or his questions, we kept calling on him at briefings, at press conferences. podcast-host

We kept taking his questions. podcast-host

There's a long history of presidents and the people who work for them having adversarial relationships with the press corps. podcast-host

That relationship is adversarial by design. podcast-host

And it can often, I mean, it does get a little testy at times. podcast-host

Presidents and their administrations do not love the press at every moment. podcast-host

They aren't supposed to. podcast-host

But they understand, most of them, that pushing hard for information and for answers was part of the job of the press that covers the White House and the administration and all the agencies. podcast-host

Because a free press is a critical part of having a free country. podcast-host

And don't take it just from me. podcast-host
