Fox News slams Psaki after podcast crack about ‘son of a bitch’ Doocy
NY Post ^ | April 15, 2022 | Callie Patteson, Samuel Chamberlain

Fox News fired back at White House press secretary Jen Psaki Friday after she attacked the cable news giant, suggesting higher-ups fed White House correspondent Peter Doocy questions that “might make anyone sound like a stupid son of a bitch.”

“In his role as White House correspondent, Peter Doocy’s job is to elicit truth from power for the American public,” a spokesperson for the top-rated network told The Post. “His questions are his own, he is a terrific reporter and we are extremely proud of his work.”

Psaki — who is reportedly weeks away from leaving the White House for a gig with Fox rival MSNBC — made the comment Thursday while recording an episode of “Pod Save America,” which is hosted by ex-Obama White House aides Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, Dan Pfeiffer and Tommy Vietor.

At one point, Psaki was asked by one of the hosts whether Doocy is a “stupid son of a bitch or does he play a stupid son of a bitch on TV,” as the live audience whooped and cheered.

“OK, um, well,” Psaki began before pausing.

“He works for a network that provides people with questions that — nothing personal to any individual, including Peter Doocy — but might make anyone sound like a stupid son of a bitch.” the press secretary eventually answered.

The question stemmed from a Jan. 24 hot-mic moment from President Biden after Doocy asked whether inflation was a “political liability.”

“No, it’s a great asset — more inflation,” Biden said sarcastically before adding: “What a stupid son of a bitch.”

What a classy 'president'.

(Tell me again all that stuff about 'mean tweets'...)

Jen, we’ll circle back on your contempt for some members of the media, something that was treated like treason when Biden’s predecessor showed contempt for the press.

someone should put together all the mean crap biden has said and all the racist crap he has said, and do a poster to hold up every-time soemoen complains about Trump’s supposed ‘mean tweets’ - The news media should run it too-

A reporter asked some college kids out sitting on the ground one day “Which presidential candidate said these racist things” and he named several-

The students got visibly upset- angry- and said Trump before launching into how awful Trump was-

The reporter then informed them “No- it was Joe biden” and they looked shocked- made some asinine excuse for biden’s actions, and said “Yeah, but Trump is still an awful person blah blah blah”

Hopefully it will happen, if Joe is still with us a couple more years.

I especially want to see ‘if you don’t vote for me, you ain’t Black!’ - and the ‘racial jungle’ stuff - highlighted.

I can’t believe it wasn’t brought up before biden stole the election- they should have been running it over and over- the left sure painted Trump as racist over and over- falsely too- but with biden- it’s not false- he is a racist-

Actually, I think that's a pretty funny remark by Biden.
But the Psaki/MSNBC interview took place nearly 3 months after this 'hot mike' moment, so the Psaki/MSNBC 'snark' just comes off as childish, and immature (their MO).

The real problem is not so much the political liability of the runaway inflation, but Biden's (and his clown crew's) work in facilitating the runaway inflation. Shutting down our energy self-sufficiency was a major cause - as the sky-rocketing energy costs effects all layers of business.
And off course continuing to print up money and passing it out like drunken sailors has just in effect poured gasoline on the fire. Things are not going to get better with these clowns running to show. And not only inflation problem, but we will be fortunate (and blessed by God) to escape WWIII.

Shame he’s not going to Ukraine. I don’t believe I need to be any more specific.

Zelensky would just realize what a total mush mind Biden is anyway, and any faith had in our military and its ability to make good tactical decisions, even as advice or in terms of trade, would just be obliterated.

No need to reply, I googled it.
The IT Crowd is set in the offices of Reynholm Industries, a fictional British corporation at 123 Carenden Road in Central London. It focuses on the shenanigans of the three members of the IT support team, who dwell in a dingy, cluttered basement—a great contrast to the shining modern architecture and stunning London views enjoyed by the rest of the organisation.

For years now, I have been avoiding cable TV, even British TV.

It’s about time Fox News spoke up and gave Doocy some support.

All Fox News has to do is state the following: With regards to the comment Ms. Psaki made regarding our colleague we accept that Jen is an authority on b@tches herself. As an authority she should know what a sob is.

So point out that her choice of words reveal her as nothing more than a classless and moronic braindead slut and get on with life.
