Brian Stelter Reaches New Heights of Bootlicking in Defense of Jen Psaki – Opinion

It’s a false mantra on the left that White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is always “decimating” Fox’s Peter Doocy. In the daily briefings, we see just how false that statement is. That lie likely contributed to her getting her purported new job with MSNBC that she’s supposedly leaving the White House for in May.

Psaki was asked about Doocy during an interview with liberal podcast “Pod Save America” on Thursday if “Peter Doocy is a stupid son of a b**ch or does he just play one on tv.” “He works for a network that provides people with questions that, nothing personal to any individual including Peter Doocy, but might make anyone sound like a stupid son of a b**ch,” Psaki responded.

She is a wonderful, classless person. She wants to speak about Doocy! What a disgrace! Fox and Doocy were also falsely attacked by her.

As we reported in an update, Fox shut her down saying that Doocy’s questions were his own, he’s an excellent reporter, and they are proud of him. Fox’s John Roberts explained the facts of life and real journalism to Psaki.

Take a note @PressSec . @pdoocyThe questions are developed by him and he makes the decision on the topics that he would like to ask you.
This philosophy was a fundamental tenet in journalism. Affect the uncomfortable, comfort the suffering. That makes us all “stupid stupid s.o.b.s”

But Psaki doesn’t care about journalism; she’s used liberal media throwing her softballs, and she gets annoyed that anyone would dare ask her a real question. Meanwhile, she’s criticizing Doocy while she’s massively violating any ethics she might have left by having a deal with MSNBC and still working for the White House.

Guess who rushed to defend Psaki, as if to show how liberal media gives her a pass? If you guessed CNN’s Brian Stelter, you would be correct.

CNN’s @BrianStelter defends Jen Psaki saying Peter Doocy is “a stupid son of a b****” because he works for Fox News, saying “it does come with the territory” and “Fox pushes storylines that are sometimes nonsense.”

CNN’s @BrianStelter on Psaki agreeing Doocy is an SOB b/c he works for Fox: “There have been other times…where I think Doocy does advance right wing talking points in the briefing room but that’s his right.” pic.twitter.com/P91k8zViqz

Stelter claims that “Fox pushes storylines that are sometimes nonsense. Doocy sometimes does that in the briefing room.” Seriously, Brian? Your job is at the fake news outlet. Fox News is the most trusted news source, with more people trusting Fox than CNN. You can clearly see his excitement at the possibility that Fox might be offended.

Then he excuses Psaki, “Remember in senior year, spring of your senior year, you’re about to graduate and you’re just tired of all this? I think we’re seeing that from Jen Psaki.” But she’s “relaxing,” Stelter says, and maybe showing how she feels as she heads for the door. “But to be fair, she didn’t criticize him directly.”

She didn’t criticize him directly? She just called him a “son of a b**ch” — but sure, go with that take. In that brief explanation, he explained why nobody believes anything Stelter or Psaki says. Stelter is sloppy! But I’m not criticizing him directly.

We know now that if this had happened under President Donald Trump then CNN and Brian Stelter might have lost their minds. If Kayleigh McEnany stated this. She wouldn’t because she had class. But we know they’d be running it 24/7 as an attack on the First Amendment and our democracy. They wonder why there are no viewers.

“Fox pushes storylines that are sometimes nonsense,” intones @brianstelter, who memorably described the Steele dossier as “prescient” and accused Kellyanne Conway of spreading “misinformation” for questioning the dossier’s conclusions https://t.co/H4eMYtzcRz

Again, Peter was asking about INFLATION when Biden called him a stupid SOB — the #1 concern of American voters and an issue Biden has 70% disapproval on.

There’s no defending this. https://t.co/vo2VC2AT9f
