DUMB Q: FOX News' Stupid Son of a Doocy Asks Biden If He Underestimated 'Worthy Adversary' Putin?

This is not mine, but I agree with what he says about the Fake station.

Daily Kos/www.NewsCorpse.com

President Joe Biden held a press conference on Thursday to inform the American people about what the administration is doing in response to Russia's "unprovoked and unjustified" invasion of Ukraine (full video below). He revealed that the United States and it allies would immediately impose a set of severe economic sanctions to punish Putin's brutal aggression. "Putin chose this war," Biden said. "And now he and his country will bear the consequences."

Ordinarily, at times like these, the nation comes together to present a united front against such militaristic assaults on innocent and peaceful allies. However, Donald Trump's Republican Party is already staking out a position that has been blatantly pro-Putin, as Trump has been doing himself.

So leave it to Fox News to contrive a question for Biden that frames the conflict in a decidedly warped perspective. When Biden called on Fox's Peter Doocy, he asked the President the following question:

"Did you underestimate Putin and would you still describe him the way that you did in the summer, as a ‘worthy adversary’?"
With questions like this, can anyone fault Biden for having muttered under his breath last month that Doocy was "a stupid son of a bitch"? Someone needs to tell Doocy that his own question contradicts his biased premise. If Putin was described as "a worthy adversary," then, by definition, he wasn't underestimated. And that was the essence of Biden's reply:

"I made it clear he was an adversary and I said that he was worthy. I didn't underestimate him. ... You heard the speech he made, almost an hour's worth of speech as to why he was going into Ukraine. He has much larger ambitions than Ukraine. He wants to, in fact, reestablish the former Soviet Union. That is what this is about. And I think his ambitions are completely contrary to the place where the rest of the world has arrived."

1. Doocy could give a shit about US foreign or domestic policy.

His sole role is asking a question whose answer can be attacked by the political opinionists that are Fox News.

3. Yep. The standard is "and he didn't even answer the question!"

Douchey is a big hero over there. He asks what they’ve all heard the day before over and over and over.

2. Why would Joe call on him to take his question?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

4. I don't get it either.

5. It's norm and convention and expected by the Correspondents Association

It’s expected that a POTUS calls on the networks, cable news, and the major papers.

6. Well then they should send someone with a functional brain or be ignored imo

7. The guys a legacy

He has no business being there. He’s skipped over several people to get there. He started working on air no less while he was still in college. His dad is on Fox & Friends.

Luke Russert was the same way at NBC but he quit.

8. Joe should pass over him imo

[ificandream]

11. Yeah, I don't get why anyone feeds Fox.

They should be ignored. They're just there to entertain their clown audience.

[AZ8theist]

12. Why is Faux "News" even in the room?

They're a Reich wing propaganda outlet, not a legitimate news organization

9. Biden's response didn't matter

Fox News always slices and dices a White House response to make it look like the Fox correspondent was so smart regardless of the response from Joe Biden or the press secretary.

10. Doocy Bag just plants the seeds. The questions are always

a Republican lie planted within the question.
