I don’t think Biden has a reputation as being a nice guy, but the MSM tries to portray him that way.

Nothing personal, pal. Is not an apology. It is a further insult.

IMO, Doocy is handling it like a grown up, professional news man. Unlike the lefties that like to make huge, front page deals out of everything a right wing politician says that they see as insulting.

No more Mr. Nice Guy. I would have called braindead a treasonous bastard.And that would be the nicer terms.

I’d be happier if journalists did a better job of “explaining” things and actually “setting the table” so that an event could be better understood.

I don’t follow journalists. I don’t know who these people are. And American Thinker seems to assume that I do. I did a little research and apparently Steve Doocy is the father of Peter Doocy.

Steve Doocy asked President Biden a question and was called an SOB.
Peter Doocy had a phone call with President Biden and did not receive the apology he was owed.

Or something like that. I’m still pretty confused.

IIRC, while covering Biden on the campaign trail, he said more than once that Biden was a nice guy and other complimentary things. I remember thinking Peter was a Dem.

I would have said “I don’t take it personally but it’s my mother you insulted and that I do take personally!”

Game theory says that, if you’re the decent type, you first play by the rules.

For this writer, everything is a game and she is the ref throwing the flag.

The author is a stupid son of a bitch.

Of course Doocy is a conservative, but he’s trying to be a reporter and not make himself the story.

Attacking Doocy is misplaced, in any event.

You don’t say, “We had a nice call.”

Eff me. This idiot author might as well jump off a cliff if his irony meter is so defective.

It's like the southern expression "bless her heart" which is not about forgiveness and prayer for redemption.

Trump uses the same turn of phrase. It doesn't exactly mean what this author thinks it means.

He should have said “the stupid son of a bitch called me, said he likes applesauce, shit his pants and hung up”.

So Doocey lives to fight another day.

I've done the same myself - knowing that I'll get a better opportunity to drop the hammer down the road....

paul ryan is the biggest threat to Fox News that they have. I imagine doocy was told how to respond.

Yeah, but the game theory model doesn’t work when the players are on uneven footing. Biden is POTUS. Doocy depends on POTUS grace for his current assignment. Of course Doocy can join the ranks of those not permitted to submit questions to POTUS.

I tend to agree with American Thinker on this one,
Peter is trying too hard to be neutral/nice but most of us wish he hadn’t

Acosta made life hellish for Trump......always in his face, interrupting, aggressive, lying
Jim Acosta never apologized

Supposedly we have Biden because of Trump’s retaliatory tweets.
But we know they outright stole the election

My father noted that Doocy mis-handled the call.

Peter should have told Joe “don’t apologize to me, apologize to MY MOTHER. And I mean publicly, with a truckload of roses.”

Basement Joe with his basement polls is desperate. His political influence is Gone with the Wind.

Sure. In an ideal world, there would have been an uproar against Biden, but what we got was what we got. Big media piles up the kindling against Republicans so that sparks produce wildfires. With Democrats, the sparks just fizzle out. We don’t live in an ideal world. Doocey and FNC recognize that.

where is the head of the journalist association? why isn’t he demanding a public apology in mr. doocy’s case? it was a legitimate question to which a journalist was demeaned and intimidated.
