即使是特朗普总统最喜欢的媒体之一福克斯新闻,也不能免除他对任何他不喜欢的女性的首选。特朗普最近这样形容这家保守派网络的白宫高级记者雅基·海因里希:“她有时候太令人讨厌了。”总统从不退缩,还对她的配偶、宾夕法尼亚州众议员布莱恩·菲茨帕特里克(Brian Fitzpatrick)说了严厉的话,他是一位温和的共和党国会议员。
Even Fox News, one of President Trump's preferred media outlets, isn't exempt from his go-to term for any woman he dislikes. "She can be so nasty," was how Trump recently described the conservative-leaning network's senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich. Never one to hold back, the president has also had harsh words for her spouse, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, a moderate Republican congressman. "Her husband votes against me all the time," Trump once said. "Can you imagine?" The double-barreled attacks don't bother Heinrich, who as president of the White House Correspondents Assn. is leading the fight against Trump's ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico. When Trump delivered his insult at the WHCA's dinner in July, Heinrich just shrugged and smiled. "You don't get into journalism to be well liked by the subject that you're covering," Heinrich said in a recent phone interview. "As long as I'm doing my job, which is to get the story and tell it fairly and fully, the rest of it is not really my business to care about.
特朗普曾经说过:“她的丈夫一直投票反对我。”“你能想象吗?“双管攻击并没有困扰海因里希,谁作为白宫记者协会主席。正在领导反对特朗普对CNN,MS NOW和Politico的禁令的斗争。当特朗普在7月的WHCA晚宴上发表侮辱时,海因里希只是耸耸肩,笑了笑。海因里希在最近的一次电话采访中说:“你进入新闻业并不是为了受到你所报道的主题的喜爱。”“只要我在做我的工作,即了解故事并公平、充分地讲述它,其余的就不是我需要关心的事情。这可能不是我最后一次让他不安。总统仍然接听我的电话。“海因里希的持久性正在受到考验,因为她就与白宫在新闻自由问题上的最新斗争向公众和私人传达信息。特朗普禁止这三家媒体进入白宫,因为他认为这三家媒体持续进行负面报道。一名联邦法官发布了临时限制令来阻止此举,称其为观点歧视并侵犯了媒体第一修正案的权利。但政府继续阻止CNN在任何时候都跟随总统的媒体群中服务。更多法庭听证会即将到来。在过去的10天里,海因里希发表公开声明谴责该禁令,监控法律程序,并阻止与白宫的渠道对话,试图扭转特朗普的决定。
It's probably not the last time I'll upset him. The president still takes my calls." Heinrich's durability is being put to the test as she delivers the public and private messaging on the latest battle with the White House over press freedom. Trump banned the three outlets from the White House grounds due to what he believes is their constant negative coverage. A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order to block the move, calling it viewpoint discrimination and a violation of the outlets' 1st Amendment rights.
这是除了报道总统和共同主持周末节目“周日简报”之外的第二份工作。“高管和记者私下表示,让一个对特朗普友好的媒体的人领导该组织恢复总统认为敌对的媒体的新闻资格是有帮助的。WHCA的存在是为了维护和促进其250个新闻机构的900名成员进入白宫。但对于海因里希来说,第一修正案的论点超越了任何媒体的任何政治倾向,这是合乎逻辑的。如果特朗普的禁令成立,保守派新闻机构下次民主党人入主椭圆形办公室时可能会面临类似的限制。海因里希说:“当你授权总统选择谁可以向他们提问时,空间就会缩小。”“它缩小了视角,并将同样的权力移交给下一届政府,下一届政府将只听到赞成、支持或友好他们所做的事情的声音。“尤金·丹尼尔斯(Eugene Daniels)是进步倾向的MS NOW的联合主持人,也是前白宫记者协会的一员。他说,该组织来自福克斯新闻和进一步右倾的Newsmax的成员在他任职期间一直支持第一修正案和新闻访问问题。丹尼尔斯说:“我们的许多新闻机构本质上都明白,在某个时候,鞋子可能会穿在另一只脚上。”“团结很重要。丹尼尔斯也认识海因里希,因为两人几年前在科罗拉多州科罗拉多斯普林斯的一家电视台一起工作,并相信她有能力推动WHCA的事业。“她清楚地认识到白宫记者在报道任何总统方面的作用,”他说。“她非常强硬,自从我们见面以来一直如此。当谈到正确的事情时,她的立场是十个脚趾。“海因里希对新闻原则的尊重甚至延伸到了她的个人生活中。
But the administration continues to prevent CNN from serving in the press pool that follows the president at all times. More court hearings are ahead. Over the last 10 days, Heinrich has issued public statements condemning the ban, monitored the legal proceedings and held back channel conversations with the White House in an effort to get Trump's decision reversed. It's a second job on top of covering the president and co-hosting a weekend program "The Sunday Briefing." Executives and journalists say privately that it's helpful to have someone from a Trump-friendly outlet lead the organization to restore the press credentials of outlets the president views as hostile.
五年前,当菲茨帕特里克第一次约她出去时,他不得不等待几周才得到答案。海因里希与福克斯新闻的老板们进行了核实,看看与民选官员约会是否存在冲突,尽管她不再被指派报道国会。“他非常有耐心,”海因里希说。这对夫妇于六月在纽约圣帕特里克大教堂结婚。海因里希是福克斯新闻的记者之一,福克斯新闻本周将迎来播出30周年,其报道并不遵循其观点主持人和评论员的倾向。
The WHCA exists to maintain and facilitate access to the White House for its 900 members across 250 news organizations. But for Heinrich, it's logical that 1st Amendment arguments transcend any political leanings of any media outlet. If Trump's ban stands, conservative news organizations could find themselves facing similar restrictions the next time a Democrat is in the Oval Office. "When you empower the president to select who is allowed to ask them questions, it shrinks the room," Heinrich said. "It shrinks the perspective and it hands over that same authority to the next administration, who will surround themselves with only voices that approve of or are supportive or friendly toward what they're doing." Eugene Daniels, a co-host at the progressive-leaning MS NOW and a former White House Correspondents Assn. president, said the organization's members from Fox News and the further right-leaning Newsmax were always supportive of 1st Amendment and press access issues during his tenure. "A lot of our news organizations understand intrinsically that at some point the shoe could be on the other foot," Daniels said.
2020年,海因里希报道了特朗普在输给乔·拜登的选举中虚假指控选民欺诈,而该网络的评论员、主持人和嘉宾则继续对结果提出质疑。她的报道激怒了塔克·卡尔森和肖恩·汉尼蒂等主持人,他们担心她的作品会疏远忠于总统的观众。卡尔森在一条短信中呼吁福克斯新闻媒体首席执行官苏珊娜·斯科特解雇海因里希,三年后,当Dominion Voting System对该网络提起诽谤诉讼时,该短信被曝光。
"The solidarity matters." Daniels has also known Heinrich since the two worked together years ago at a TV station in Colorado Springs, Colo., and believes she is well-equipped to push the WHCA's cause. "She's clear eyed about the role of White House correspondents in covering any president," he said. "She is very tough and always has been since we've met. She stands 10 toes down when it comes to what's right." Heinrich's respect for journalistic principles has even extended to her personal life. When Fitzpatrick first asked her out on a date five years ago, he had to wait several weeks for an answer.
Dominion声称福克斯新闻故意散布有关该公司在2020年大选中所扮演角色的虚假陈述,以7.87亿美元和解诉讼。但海因里希表示,在2023年2月的法律简报中披露这些对话之前,她并不知道这些对话。(两个月后,卡尔森被福克斯新闻解雇。)自2020年以来,她已两次晋升。“我的老板从未干涉过我的报道,”她说。37岁的海因里希在乔治华盛顿大学学习国际事务,并希望在国务院从事职业,之后在华盛顿MSNBC和WRC-TV实习,她进入了新闻业。
Heinrich checked with her Fox News bosses to see if dating an elected official was a conflict even though she was no longer assigned to covering congress. "He was very patient," Heinrich said. The couple was married at New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral in June. Heinrich is among the correspondents at Fox News — which this week will mark 30 years on the air — whose reporting doesn't adhere to the leanings of its opinion hosts and commentators. In 2020, Heinrich reported on Trump's false claims of voter fraud in the election he lost to Joe Biden, while commentators, hosts and guests on the network continued to raise doubts about the results. Her reporting angered hosts such as Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, who were concerned that her work was alienating viewers loyal to the president. Carlson called on Fox News Media Chief Executive Suzanne Scott to fire Heinrich in a text that came to light three years later when Dominion Voting System filed its defamation suit against the network. Dominion claimed Fox News deliberately aired false statements about the company's role in the 2020 election, settling the suit for $787 million. But Heinrich said she was unaware of the conversations before they were revealed in a legal brief in February 2023. (Carlson was fired from Fox News two months later.) She has been promoted twice since 2020. "My bosses never interfered with my reporting," she said. Heinrich, 37, studied international affairs at George Washington University and wanted to pursue a career in the State Department before internships at MSNBC and WRC-TV in Washington led her to journalism.
在几家当地电视台工作后,她于2018年成为福克斯新闻驻纽约记者。在2021年入主白宫之前,她报道了国会和2020年总统竞选活动。
After working at several local TV stations she became a Fox News correspondent in New York in 2018. She covered Congress and the 2020 presidential campaign before moving to the White House beat in 2021.
海因里希在新英格兰长大,她称这个家庭是一个政治多元化的家庭。她的父母在她年轻时就离婚了,她在新罕布什尔州的保守派父亲、缅因州的政治温和派母亲和佛蒙特州支持伯尼·桑德斯的继父之间度过了时光。她相信她的成长经历是对她职业的良好训练。她说:“这是‘活得自由,或死’和社会主义,都在一个家庭的两个屋檐下。”
Heinrich was raised in New England in what she describes as a politically diverse family. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she split her time between a conservative father in New Hampshire, a politically moderate mother in Maine and a Bernie Sanders-supporting stepfather from Vermont. She believes her upbringing was excellent training for her profession. "It was 'Live Free or Die' and socialism all under two roofs but one family," she said. "We have developed a really keen ability to listen. I think that's one of the most important parts of journalism, is hearing and understanding someone's perspective enough that you can describe it to someone else in a way that is fair and complete." Once Heinrich gets past the current conflict with the White House, she'll have to plan the association's annual dinner. (The event was cut short and rescheduled this year after a gunman attempted to enter the ballroom at the Washington Hilton.)
“我们已经培养了非常敏锐的倾听能力。我认为这是新闻业最重要的部分之一,就是倾听和理解某人的观点,以便你可以以公平和完整的方式向其他人描述它。“一旦海因里希摆脱了目前与白宫的冲突,她就必须计划协会的年度晚宴。(The在一名枪手试图进入华盛顿希尔顿酒店的宴会厅后,今年的活动被缩短并重新安排。)海因里希表示,即使总统对媒体公开怀有敌意,他也会受到欢迎参加2027年的活动。海因里希说:“过去115年来,我们每年都会邀请总统,这不会仅仅因为特朗普总统而改变。”“我们维护这里的法律、规范和传统,我们打算保持这种状态。"
Heinrich said even with the president's open hostility toward the press, he will be welcomed to the event in 2027. "We have invited the president every single year for the last 115 years and that's not going to change just because of President Trump," Heinrich said. "We uphold laws, norms, and traditions around here and we intend to keep it that way."
