Jen Psaki's gloves finally came off in the briefing room today, as Peter Doocy went full Tucker Carlson, coming at her with aggressively incendiary questions accusing the Biden administration of things he knows damn well it is not doing.
"Speaking of misinformation in the announcement from yesterday, for how long has the administration been spying on people's facebook profiles looking for vaccine misinformation?" he postured.
Psaki pushed back immediately, with, "That was quite a loaded and inaccurate question, which I refute."

(25,355 posts)They do not hear a successful rebuke from Psaki. When they watch this, they hear Doocy "owning" her with his repeated comebacks. That is why he does it.
If she ignored him, Fox TV would come out with a scandalous complaint about WH bias against them.

"Fox News implies to their viewers that the vaccine is harmful, and scares their viewers into resisting precautions that could save their lives and those they come into contact with. We do not tell them to control their irresponsible statements, though we try to implore you and other at FOX News to present accurate information."
Doocy seems to be getting his sea legs and will become more of an asshole each and every day.

(25,355 posts)about vaccines.
Nearly all the employees of stores in my community are maskless if they can show proof of vaccination. But there is a Family Dollar store that I go to often for the lowest prices on name brand things like toilet paper, cat food, cat litter, and some canned foods. Every employee, from manager to cashiers, wears a mask. So I commented on it to a cashier yesterday.
She said they wear mssks because it is required if they are not vsccinated. Then she added thst at least they were being honest because a lot of customers without masks are not vaccinated.
I was wearing a mask, as usual. I said that I am vaccinated, but wear the mask as extra protection against delta. She said that she and the other employees did not get vaccinated because of all the terrible things that vaccines cause. I said that I have a number of health conditions and numerous allergies. Since the vaccine didn't harm me, it is safe for almost everyone.
Don't know if I convinced her, but I do know that I will shop there much less often. Their flimsy, loose fitting surgical masks, neck gaiters, and thin cloth masks without adjustable nose pieces are not good protection from the Alpha strain, let alone Delta.
The entire staff is unvaccinated. It is not a safe place for me to shop.

(34,195 posts)Doocy appears on Fox, smirking, and the Fox hosts congratulate him on successfully making Jen Psaki look bad.
They twist it to their advantage.

She should have replied to the a-hole "How long have you been beating your wife?".

(25,156 posts)It is not "spying" to read public internet postings, newspaper articles, to listen to public speeches, to watch public appearances.
Not being in the news business, Peter probably doesn't know this.
