Peter Doocy mishandled Biden’s phone call

With their obsessive need to be perceived as nice, Republicans never play the game right.

The big news on Monday night was that Joe Biden, in response to a perfectly appropriate question from Fox News White House correspondent Steve Doocy, not only refused to answer but openly and into the mic called Doocy a “stupid son of a b****.” Biden then called Doocy, ostensibly to apologize. In fact, he didn’t apologize at all but Doocy seemed happy to be the nice guy who accepted a private non-apology in exchange for a public insult. In other words, Doocy handled the whole thing completely wrong.

SNIP

My beef is with Peter Doocy. Preliminarily, I think very highly of Doocy because he’s willing to ask questions that no one else in the press room asks. (Others in the alternative media would but they’re barred from the press room.) Doocy’s not as probing as I would wish but he does push harder than anyone else and that’s definitely something.

As to this matter, though, Doocy failed completely. He shouldn’t have had a “nice call” with Biden and said that he didn’t need an apology. He did need an apology...a big one. What he should have said was, “Mr. Biden, you very publicly and crudely insulted me. I expect an equally public, explicit apology.” And that should have been the whole call, followed by daily reminders.

Game theory says that, if you’re the decent type, you first play by the rules. However, if your opponent refuses to play by the rules, and seeks to obtain an advantage through bullying and cheating, you teach him a lesson by bringing the same tactics to him, except on rocket-fueled steroids. You don’t say, “We had a nice call.”

Doocy should have a poster of self giving Biden the finger with Nothing personal, pal printed on bottom of it.

Sometimes people have to lower their standards to get Biden to understand you.

Doocey should have played Biden and just say “Its the Alzhiemers talking! Too bad he’s the illegal leader of the country!” Then sit back and watch the lefts heads explode!

Fox News is a mixed bag and not to be trusted even if they have personalities like Tucker Carlson that I will watch. I thought Doocy handled this perfectly and is being the anti-Acosta, where he isn’t trying to make himself the story.

Let Tucker or Hannity make fun of Biden while Doocy can remain the part of being an objective reporter.
