Of course inflation is a political liability. What did Doocy expect Biden to say?<\/p>\n<p>However, a hot mic caught Biden as he muttered sarcastically under his breath <em>&#8220;That\u2019s a great asset \u2013 more inflation. What a stupid son of a bitch.&#8221;<\/em> Naturally, this was escalated to <em>&#8220;scandal&#8221;<\/em> proportions by Fox News and other rightist media. Even though Biden later  graciously called Doocy and apologized for the remark that Doocy didn&#8217;t hear.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday morning Psaki was a guest on the <em>&#8220;Pod Save America&#8221;<\/em> podcast when the subject came up again in a light-hearted segment. Psaki was asked if <em>&#8220;Peter Doocy is a stupid son of a bitch or does he just play one on tv?&#8221;<\/em> She replied that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHe 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.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jen Psaki is asked if \u201cPeter Doocy is a stupid son of a bitch or does he just play one on tv:\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe 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.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2FYMPX12Rr\">pic.twitter.com\/2FYMPX12Rr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Eugene Daniels (@EugeneDaniels2) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EugeneDaniels2\/status\/1514781629553655811?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 15, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Cue the Fox News ninnies as they flop into their fainting couches. Never mind that Psaki is actually giving Doocy the benefit of a doubt by blaming his idiotic inquiries on his bosses at Fox. The wingnut InterTubes went haywire with denouncements of Psaki&#8217;s alleged incivility. It&#8217;s almost as if they have never heard of Donald Trump&#8217;s relentlessly hateful, misogynistic, and racist assaults on the media as <em>&#8220;fake,&#8221; &#8220;stupid,&#8221; &#8220;crooked,&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;enemies of the people.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The entire exchange with Psaki was couched in good humor. But rather than appreciate that she was actually absolving Doocy of responsibility for some truly dumb questions, Fox News bounced the idiocy right back in Doocy&#8217;s lap. The network released a statement saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In his role as White House correspondent, Peter Doocy\u2019s job is to elicit truth from power for the American public. His questions are his own, he is a terrific reporter and we are extremely proud of his work.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Anyone has watched more than a few minutes of Fox News knows that they have never cared about eliciting truth. Their prime directive is to spin, distort, and outright lie. That&#8217;s particularly true when it comes to the powerful conservative politicians they were created to serve.  Nevertheless, Doocy&#8217;s Fox colleague, John Roberts, took to Twitter to defend him&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Note to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PressSec?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PressSec<\/a> .  <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pdoocy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@pdoocy<\/a> makes the decisions on what topics he wants to quiz you on, and develops the questions himself. <br \/>His philosophy is a basic tenet of journalism.
