During a recent press briefing in Italy, US President was seen on a narrow line with the press over a query that unsettled him. This incident happened during his combined press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Angered by the question's departure from the intended topic, Biden urged the reporters to adhere more strictly to the proceedings.

Preferring to focus on the urging Ukrainian matters, the President appeared frustrated at the deviation from the agenda. Biden rebuked, 'You're sidelining the issue at hand. I’ll get around to your query in depth later.' It was apparent that Biden's priority was the situation in Ukraine and not elaborating on other topics.

We have set forth an agreement. Our plan has garnered backing from the United Nations Security Council, the G7 nations, Israel, underlining its credibility,” he emphasized. Most notably, he addressed the resistance from Hamas, failing to approve even though they have proposed a similar solution.

The actualization of this problematic scenario is yet to be seen. We are persistently pushing for progress. Regrettably, I don't have a final verdict yet,' concluded the President. Interestingly, these firm remarks were not taken lightly by the journalists present at the venue.

Kelly O’Donnell, the president of the White House Correspondents' Association, retorted to the President, addressing the fundamental tenets of a free press. She maintained that it's essential to underline the public's right to information and clear knowledge about proceedings, regardless of the setting of the press interview.

No leader has the authority to dictate the nature or number of questions asked at a press address. While it is within the White House's powers to control the count of reporters that the President answers, the question's subject matter falls within the ethical judgment of professional journalists, O'Donnell underscored.

Despite any leader's preferences, the questions posed by reporters should not be constrained to a single topic. A truly independent press should enjoy the ability to ask questions across a spectrum of topics, she stated. O'Donnell expressed the need for more such inclusive interactions with the President, instead of narrow, monothematic proceedings.

Biden's strain with the press isn’t news. An occasion in December underlines his tendency to lose his composure amidst a flurry of questions. During another press session with Zelensky, cable news journalists threw barrage questions, taken aback; the president couldn't hold his peace.

After having an extensive dialogue with Zelensky, the journalists present began posing their inquiries to both leaders. Biden, taken off guard by the volume and the range of questions, asked them to quiet down. Varied questions perturbed him, prompting him to say, 'Hold on! Slow down! I have something else to say.'

The President, while juggling a stack of papers, added, 'I have another point to make.' He announced a substantial defense budget allocation for Ukraine while sharing a quiet moment with Zelensky, 'An additional $200 million has been allocated from the Department of Defense for Ukraine,' he stated.

Biden communicated the urgency of this budget allocation by adding, 'This will be enacted promptly.' Ever so enthusiastic to support Ukraine, he exchanged nods with Zelensky. Once Zelensky uttered his gratitude, reporters once again bombarded them with questions, a testament to the feverish nature of these press conferences.

On another occasion after a short campaign event in Philadelphia where he was rallying the black voters, the President found himself at odds with another reporter who posed an unsettling question about potential power transition. 'President Biden, do you intend to complete your term, or will you be passing the baton to VP Harris?' a journalist asked.

As he engaged with his audience on a runway in Philadelphia, the question struck him as absurd, leading to a sarcastic, dismissive response, 'Are you okay? Have you injured yourself? Have you fallen and hurt your head?' he asked in disbelief.

Recently, Biden and Harris initiated an outreach endeavor to attract black voters who are seemingly leaning towards former President Donald Trump, as suggested by some polls. It is noteworthy that a number of these voters have voiced their frustrations with the Biden-Harris leadership, citing financial strain.

These voters argue their financial conditions have worsened under Biden and Harris's watch. Furthermore, they express discontent with the lax immigration policies and weaker border security under the current administration. This has been met with stiff criticism from local Democratic leaders as resources are being reallocated away from citizen-centric programs towards the support of illegal immigrants.

After seeing these series of events, it indicates that Biden's rapport with reporters needs mending, keeping in mind preserving the independence of our free press. While his focus on pressing matters is appreciated, an understanding of the complex and critical role of journalists at these press conferences is of paramount importance as well.
