Fox News' Peter Doocy was doing his job when President Biden called a "stupid son of a bitch"

The Washington Post

"Yes, it’s Doocy’s job to draw intemperate remarks from President Biden," says Erik Wemple. "The question that prompted Biden’s incivility was a classic Doocy troll sandwich: 'Do you think inflation is a political liability in the midterms?' It’s the sort of 'question' that, if Doocy is lucky, triggers a long Biden peroration on the cost of living and the nation’s political mood. But Doocy wasn’t just lucky on Monday; he was really lucky." Wemple adds: "Fox News had every right to rip Biden for his candid snark. This is the fellow, after all, who declared personnel war on uncivil behavior in the White House ranks." “I’m not joking when I say this: If you are ever working with me and I hear you treat another with disrespect, talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot,” said Biden on the first day of his presidency. “No if, ands or buts.” Biden later reportedly called Doocy to apologize.
