Fox News anchor John Roberts defended network White House correspondent Peter Doocy after White House press secretary Jen Psaki criticized Doocy?s questions during a recent podcast episode.
In a live episode of ?Pod Save America? on Friday, Psaki was asked if Doocy was a ?stupid son of a bitch? or if he played one on TV. President Biden had been caught on a hot mic using the phrase to describe Doocy.
?OK, um, well. He works for a network,? Psaki started, ?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 bitch.?
Roberts, a former White House correspondent for the network, pushed back against Psaki?s assertion, saying that Doocy came up with his own questions and made his own decisions on what he wanted to raise during the briefings.
