Watch the Moment Peter Doocy Realizes He Screwed Up by Admitting Biden Has Strong Stamina for His Age
Maybe Fox News' mortal enemy isn't so fragile after all.
Peter Doocy, the blatantly partisan White House correspondent for Fox News, was doing a live report from Vietnam covering President Joe Biden. He was clearly annoyed by the entire situation, especially the presence of John Kerry, Biden’s envoy, during his report.
But it didn’t take long before he slipped up and said something decent about President Biden.
In contrast with Fox’s normal angle of Biden being too old and fragile to be President, Doocy ended up talking about Biden’s stamina in a positive way:
“And so, we expect maybe some climate talk here in Hanoi. We expect a short statement off the top, just about how the G20 went in India and how his meetings went here with the Communist Party in Vietnam. And then, as many questions as he wants to take.
He has been basically working all through the night, the equivalent of an all-nighter Eastern time. So, he’s probably pretty tired, pretty jet-lagged. But he should take at least a handful.”

That’s rare for Doocy to say. He’s well-versed in the form of propaganda that his father Steve helped perfect for the right-wing network. He regularly takes on White House Press Secretaries as though he could possibly debate them (he can’t) or Democratic politicians like he has better legislative ideas (he doesn’t).
WOW. Peter Doocey admitted live on Fox that President Biden has been “working all through the night, the equivalent of an all-nighter.” Again, no signs of President Biden’s age presenting any problem — even with jet lag — on his capacity to serve or get things done.

X, formerly Twitter, lit up relatively quickly after Doocy accidentally complimented Biden.
You can literally see him want to time travel back just 8 seconds.
Heaven forbid, FOX viewers find out that not only is Dark Brandon a total badass…. but also that
Joe Biden is the BEST PRESIDENT EVER.
That's what he's trying his best not to say – the TRUTH.

When even someone like Peter doocey seems impressed with President Biden’s stamina, you know that’s saying something. Sadly, I haven’t heard much of this from other outlets & it should be said. President Biden continues to show remarkable stamina — even at 80. Its amazing.

And you can see the second he realizes he did it.

I asked my 40-something doctor: “Do you think Biden is too old to run again?”
He said: “No. These days many people remain vigorous well into their 80’s & 90’s.”

Hmm… while TRUE. I'm very suspicious of HIM saying it.
What's the motive? Why the change of heart*. There's SOMETHING (nefarious) in it for him/them…
* benefit of the doubt that there IS a heart.

"But, uh…we at Fox are going to blame it on Biden's age — even though we already offered the most likely reason. Also — 80 is a much, much older age than 78."
There, finished it.

It's clear by all the slip ups FOX and other right-wing media members have that most of them don't personally believe the lies they tell their audiences.
