1. K&R but why not "a regular habit"? - Give'em hell Harry said, I just tell the truth and they think

it's hell.

While TAPPER also got all prim about it, KIMMEL said, "DOOCEY *is* a stupid SOB!"

And aren't all the Faux zombies all in a tizzy in the vein of, presidential war on "journalists" while Drumpf called them "enemy of the state" and tons of crap, and even The View said it was "beneath presidential dignity".

I haven't seen it anywhere, but I'm suspecting President Joe is gaming the a-holes, playing them at their own game: DOOCEY is a nobody who is building a career by all the attention he gets by poking at PSAKI and the prez. So actually the president has gotten a ton of attention for this, and in an unspoken *favorable* way for doing a Harry S

3. Someone should ask Tapper about his date with

Monica Lewinsky, whom he dated before President Clinton made her famous. That’s how he got noticed…

He gets on my nerves as a fellow Philadelphian with his sanctimonious delivery.

[calimary]

9. OMG! I didn't know that!

[PCIntern]

15. He was nobody at ABC News

And when the story broke about Clinton, he confessed to having dated Monica. From there, meteoric rise to “stardom”.

17. I agree with "don't make it a habit"; I like Presidents who take off the gloves only when necessary.

TFG ranted personally against reporters and individuals every single day and it lost its effectiveness and became background noise that people tuned out. When someone tactful like Biden does it it's a rare smackdown and much more newsworthy. Deuce was asking the dumbest loaded question ever and Biden wasn't having it. I'm sure the President is fully aware of Doocy's shenanigans in Psaki's pressers and suspect the reporter won't try to pull that again at least for a bit.

The rightwing likes to paint Biden as an unaware doddering fool, but he's exactly not that and this was a good reminder that he's much more aware and on top of things than many give credit for.

20. Joe Biden was just taking a page out of another great

American president's (albeit, a fictional one) book:

"[Doocy has] a 22 caliber mind in a 357 magnum world"

31. When you say "The View,"

you mean Lisa Ling, who was clutching her pearls so tightly, her knuckles were bleeding. The others on the panel were not nearly so critical.

2. I don't get why Jan and Joe ever call on the Fux News reporters. They are such fking liars.

[lagomorph777]

4. They're also easy targets.

It's amusing to help them make fools of themselves.

[KS Toronado]

11. YES, it's easy to make them look like fools.

[L. Coyote]

14. They make themselves look like fools.

5. It's a lose-lose proposition.

You call on them, they're going to distort whatever you say. You don't call on them, you feed into their delusions of martyrdom.

At least with the former, there's always the possibility that somebody listening in won't buy the spin they try to put on it.

18. In a long press conference, it'd be more obvious if he didn't.

That's what TFG would do; only call on friendly softballs. If he can take a bat to a Fox reporter like that on rare occasion I'm for it!

[soldierant]

22. The alternative is to give Fox the opportunity

to complain that they are being discriminated against - singled out to be ignored. And they are such practiced whiners they would easly convince their audience of the truth of that lie.

6. Faux Nuz Regularly Ignored When tRump Said Outrageous Shit...

That was far beyond calling someone a "[S]tupid son of a bitch*". When tRump said something insulting or outrageous, Faux acted like Officer Barbrady on South Park: "Nothing to see here. Move along. Move along."
So, for Faux to get its collective knickers in a twist over this is...well...stupendously hypocritical. But, that's also par for the course for Faux.

*Never mind the fact that Douchey, Jr. demonstrates his stupidity for all the world to see, on a daily basis. 🙄

7. Turned on CNN for 10 seconds and got to see a whole panel tut-tutting. Do they miss the abuse?

Is that what their problem is? No one to call the press “the enemy of the people” and berate actual journalists as “the worst reporter ever.” No one to call out the mob on one of their own (a small young woman named Katy Tur) or offer to pay the legal expenses if the mob injured someone…

What the actual whatever.

[SunSeeker]

10. Right? Trump didn't do it accidentally on a hot mic. Trump bellowed it intentionally!

And Trump attacked all media. Biden just muttered to himself what we're all thinking about dishonest dumbass Steve Doocy.

It's infuriating to see the media equate what Trump has done for years with one hot mic moment by Biden.

[L. Coyote]

8. CONTEXT: Anti-Trump journalist gets cut up with a bone saw, no complaints from Doocy about that.

13. If that doesn't establish that Doocy is a stupid SOB, I don't know what does. nt

12. please make a habit of it Joe!

27. Gotta have confidence to say that about his employer.

I know there's supposed to be a wall between news and regular programing there, but the same guy signs the checks.

29. I stopped in for the comments from our resident pearl clutchers

Sadly, none are to be found.
