The White House press briefing room has been a little more boring over the past six months, which is probably a good thing. But there are occasional fireworks, mostly when Fox Newss Peter Doocy asks press secretary Jen Psaki to comment on the culture-war issue du jour on his network.
But seldom has that effort been as poorly conceived as it was Friday.
The White House announced a new effort this week to combat coronavirus misinformation on social media, particularly Facebook. Its an effort that carries legitimate questions about what role the government should play in policing (or, in this case, helping to police) such things.
But thats quite different from what Doocy accused the government of doing. And he did so based upon nothing but innuendo and a dumbfoundingly apparent lack of research.

Thanks for posting this Yo Mama. I read an excerpt earlier but havent been able to get video of it to load. Maybe everyone in the house is streaming - I dont know. Anyway thanks again. Now I can sit back with my ice coffee and watch.

and and ask to fill in what Peter is thinking.
My guess would be, "How do we shut this f%$&ing idiot up?"

(182,794 posts)Yes that was funny. I call it CSPAN face I have no idea how the staff at some congressional hearing can just sit there expressionless. I saw another one with the red headed woman from NBC sitting next to him. So too seemed to be trying desperately not to show any emotion.

(6,017 posts)well, like a Fox, to use the somewhat ableist old saying.
Name one other network that gets its name in the news every few days like this.
It doesn't matter if we think it makes them look foolish. We aren't their target audience.
