On Friday he drenched himself in disgrace again by asking White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki a question that had to have been market tested by a committee in the bowels of the Fox News Propaganda Factory:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Doocy:<\/strong> For how long has the administration been spying on people\u2019s Facebook profiles looking for vaccine misinformation?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Seriously? Doocy&#8217;s assertion that the administration is <em>&#8220;spying&#8221;<\/em> on Facebook profiles was pulled straight from his asinine notebook of nonsense questions. And this one was a slow pitch right across the strike zone for Psaki who replied&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Psaki:<\/strong> That is quite a loaded and inaccurate question, which I would refute.<br \/>\n<strong>Doocy:<\/strong> Inaccurate how?<br \/>\n<strong>Psaki:<\/strong> Well, Peter, first of all, as you know we&#8217;re in regular touch with a range of media outlets &#8230; as we are in regular touch with social media platforms. This is publicly open information, people sharing information online. Just as you are all reporting information on your news stations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Doocy: For how long has the administration been spying on people\u2019s Facebook profiles looking for vaccine misinformation?<br \/>Psaki: That was quite a loaded and inaccurate question <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RB2ySmebU1\">pic.twitter.com\/RB2ySmebU1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Acyn (@Acyn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acyn\/status\/1416091573608095744?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 16, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Psaki had <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=50064\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">addressed this issue on Thursday<\/a><\/strong> in stark detail. She spoke about the unprecedented finding by the Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy, that vaccine disinformation is a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/07\/15\/politics\/surgeon-general-vaccine-misinformation-advisory\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">serious threat to public health<\/a><\/strong>. Her remarks included how the Biden administration is working to counter potentially deadly anti-vaccine propaganda. She explained in clear and concise terms that the federal government is not commanding or controlling Facebook. Nor is it colluding with them to attack political foes. They are merely alerting them to posts that Facebook itself deems harmful, something every Facebook user can do. But that wasn&#8217;t sufficient for Doocy, who came back on Friday, clearly still confused and thirsting for more punishment:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Doocy:<\/strong> Okay, so these 12 people you have on list, do they know that somebody at the Surgeon General&#8217;s office is going through their profiles?<br \/>\n<strong>Psaki:<\/strong> I&#8217;m happy to get you the citation of where that comes from. There\u2019s no secret list.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Doocy was referring to the 12 people who are responsible for 65% of the online disinformation about vaccines. Psaki mentioned it on Thursday, so Doocy had the time to look it up and come prepared on Friday. He chose not to. Had he done so he would have found that it was not a government list, but one produced by the private non-profit <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/05\/13\/996570855\/disinformation-dozen-test-facebooks-twitters-ability-to-curb-vaccine-hoaxes\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Center for Countering Digital Hate<\/a><\/strong>. And despite his deliberate fear mongering, there is nothing untoward about being apprised of harmful disinformation online so that legal countermeasures can be taken to save lives. Psaki attempted to educate Doocy saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Psaki:<\/strong> Our biggest concern here &#8211; and frankly I think it should be your biggest concern &#8211; is the number of people who are dying around the country because they are getting misinformation that is leading them to not take a vaccine. Young people, old people, kids, children, a lot of them are being impacted by misinformation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Doocy wasn&#8217;t having any of it. Still unable to grasp the simplest notion that government has a responsibility to protect its citizens from scammers and con artists, he went off on a tangent about <em>&#8220;Big Brother&#8221;<\/em> watching you. Psaki concluded by patronizing Doocy. <em>&#8220;If you have the data to back that up,&#8221;<\/em> she offered, <em>&#8220;I\u2019m happy to discuss it.&#8221;<\/em> For his part, Doocy left the briefing room and did a remote on Fox News that confirmed that he completely failed to comprehend everything Psaki had just said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The White House is now trying to change the conversation from &#8216;is the Biden Administration censoring people&#8217; to &#8216;is Facebook killing people.'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Doocy: The White House is now trying to change the conversation from is the Biden Administration censoring people to is Facebook killing people <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tpIsDWBFtI\">pic.twitter.com\/tpIsDWBFtI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Acyn (@Acyn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acyn\/status\/1416157184950476807?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 16, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Fer chrissakes.
