Joe Biden ignores Fox News at his first White House press conference, upsets right-wing media

Fox News was shut out of asking President Joe Biden a question during his first press conference held in the White House's East Room on Thursday and several right-wing media figures were quick to loudly complain.

During the presser, the president fielded questions from many reporters including CBS correspondent Nancy Cordes, CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins, and PBS White House reporter Yamiche Alcindor, among others, but snubbed the Fox News correspondent who has a knack for sparing with White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki at press briefings along with other Biden White House officials, Peter Doocy.

Reacting to Biden not selecting him to ask a question during the press conference, Doocy on Fox News touted how many questions he had prepared ahead of time while showing off his black binder full of papers.




"And I mentioned last night on 'Special Report' that I had a binder full of questions," the reporter began. "We had a lot and most of the stuff we did not get to," Doocy riffed while paging through a binder on-air. "Nobody ever asked him about this big plan that he has got, this big idea to completely transform the economy, to make it all green. That is something we were hoping to get on the board with, and there were not a lot of questions about Covid, particularly the investigation into the origins of it," Doocy continued. "We did not get on the board with that, nobody else asked about that."

Democratic Presidents should not be calling on a Republican Propaganda network masquerading as a news organization. Including OANN and Newsmax.

... Biden should call on FOX sometimes, but they do not warrant a question at every press conference. And Mr. Doocy would not be my first pick... FOX needs to revise its press.

The whole "press conference" was a navelgazing clusterfuck anyways even WITH the establishment media.

Fox anchor: I would definitely have told the president to call on Peter Doocy, he's not Jim Acosta. ... Why make Peter Doocy a story, just take his question and move on.

FOX is getting disrespect?

Well, at least Biden didn't call them what they are, FAKE NEWS!

Joe is far too polite at times, methinks.
