Once again, Peter Doocy asked a silly question. This one, though, had danger and irresponsibility associated with it. Jen Psaki, in her way, slammed him.
Jen Psaki gets stern with Peter Doocy
Peter Doocy continued an interchange with Jen Psaki with an inappropriate Fox News-like question. Then again, he represents Fox News. The Right-Wing is still taken aback about Jen Psaki calling out online vaccine misinformers and liars. It may have hit too close to home. Note he is reading the question. One wonders if his masters forced it or it was just his continued intellectual being.
“Speaking about misinformation and an answer from yesterday,” Peter Doocy said. “For how long has the administration been spying on people’s Facebook profiles looking for vaccine misinformation.”
Psaki did not take too nicely to that characterization.
“That is quite a loaded and inaccurate question,” Psaki responded stern but resolved. “Which I will refute.”
And she did. After some back and forth, she made a statement that would have normal moral human beings reevaluating their statements.
“Our biggest concern here,” Jen said. “And frankly think it should be your biggest concern, is the number of people who are dying around the country because they are getting misinformation that is leading them to not take a vaccine. Young people, old people, kids, children, a lot of them are being impacted by misinformation.”
Instead of looking at the humane, moral side, Doocy started talking about people being concerned about Big Brother. Really Doocy?’ Psaki would have none of it.
“They are more concerned about that than people dying across the country because of a pandemic of misinformation is traveling on social media platforms?” Jen Psaki replied. “That feels unlikely to me. If you have the data to back that up, then I am happy to discuss it.”
Enough said.
