The mission of Fox News from its inception has been to deceive their viewers by distorting the stories they present in order to advance the interests of corporations and the wealthy. They feverishly twist their “alternative facts”<\/em> into maliciously negative attacks on Democrats and progressives seeking to benefit the majority of the American people.<\/p>\n

Fox’s White House correspondent, Peter Doocy, is the frontline propagator of their propaganda. He occupies a seat at the daily press briefings tasked by his bosses, the Murdochs, to manufacture phony controversies and try to embarrass the President and his spokespeople with “gotcha”<\/em> questions. Unfortunately for Fox News, he has never been very good at it.<\/p>\n

On Friday Doocy sought to waste the time of every in the room by asking Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre a question that reeked of bias and ignorance. Jean-Pierre replied with a remarkable degree of patience, considering the blitheringly idiotic inquisition by Doocy:<\/p>\n

Doocy:<\/strong> Why is the president bragging today about gas prices?
\nJean-Pierre:<\/strong> Because it\u2019s gone down.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s right! The answer was as simple as that. But it was way above Doocy’s capacity to grasp it. Or perhaps just outside of his mandate as a disinformation disseminator. And yet, after being politely told why President Biden was happy about the trend in gas prices, Doocy felt compelled to resume his badgering:<\/p>\n

Doocy:<\/strong> It’s still $1.72 higher than when he took office.
\nJean-Pierre:<\/strong> It has come down in a way we haven’t seen, it’s trajectory coming down, in over a decade.
\nDoocy:<\/strong> It’s still over $4.00 a gallon though. Is that good?
\nJean-Pierre:<\/strong> You want to talk to a nurse or a teacher or a firefighter, if having that little bit of breathing room doesn’t matter to them. […] That matters. And the reason we’re seeing that is because of the work this President has done the last several months.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
