Psaki pushes back against Fox criticism
White Home press secretary Jen Psaki on Friday pushed again in opposition to criticism from Fox Information host John Roberts, who slammed Psaki for saying throughout a current interview that his cable information community asks “silly” questions.
In a Friday evening tweet, Psaki stated each she and Fox Information reporter Peter Doocy — whom the White Home has criticized for his questions at press briefings — have been doing their jobs.
“He’s doing his job. I’m doing mine. We debate. We disagree. I respect that,” Psaki wrote.
The controversy began when Psaki was requested if Doocy was “a silly son of a bitch” throughout an interview with “Pod Save America.” President Biden had as soon as referred to Doocy by the identical phrase when he was caught on a scorching mic.
Psaki replied that Doocy “works for a community that gives folks with questions that, nothing private to any particular person, together with Peter Doocy, however would possibly make anybody sound like a silly son of a bitch.”
Roberts, an anchor at Fox, tweeted after information of Psaki’s interview broke that Doocy “makes the choices on what matters he needs to quiz you on, and develops the questions himself.”
“His philosophy is a primary tenet of journalism. Consolation the , and afflict the snug. If that makes all of us ‘silly s.o.b.s’, so be it,” Roberts wrote.
Doocy has been repeatedly mocked for his questioning. In January, he requested Biden, “Do you suppose inflation is a political legal responsibility within the midterms?”
Biden was then caught on the recent mic calling him a “silly son of a bitch” as a result of it was apparent that inflation was a political legal responsibility. He later referred to as Doocy to apologize.
In her tweet, Psaki stated she “additionally informed a narrative about Peter’s grace final evening” when she informed “Pod Save America” that Doocy dealt with Biden’s criticism nicely following the recent mic second.
“I used to be not being vital of him or any reporter at Fox and as a substitute was vital of the slant of some Fox matters,” she added.
In an announcement to The Hill, a Fox Information spokesperson stated Doocy’s “job is to elicit fact from energy for the American public.”
“His questions are his personal, he’s a terrific reporter and we’re extraordinarily happy with his work,” the spokesperson stated.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A 14-year-old boy from West Virginia was bitten by a shark as he was swimming at a beach in North Carolina.
Blayne Brown of Cabell County, West Virginia, was bit on the leg and ankle by a shark at Topsail Beach Access No. 4 in Pender County, North Carolina, on Sunday, The Herald-Dispatch reported. The boy was reportedly swimming in waist-deep water at around noon with a friend when he was bitten. Brown was about 30 or 40 feet away from the shore, the newspaper reported.
The newspaper reported that beachgoers helped provide medical attention to the teen before first responders arrived and took him to Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune.
“I didn’t know what it was,” he told The Herald-Dispatch. “I just felt something that hurt a lot.”
He underwent surgery and a specialist was brought in because the injury was more extensive than doctors originally thought, the newspaper reported.
Brown returned home to West Virginia on Tuesday, though his mother said he may need another surgery.
The Associated Press reported that there were 69 unprovoked shark bites worldwide last year, and 10 of those were fatal, according to the International Shark Attack File. That was higher than the recent average of six deaths per year.
After a prolonged absence from match play, FC Cincinnati will return to action Saturday night in a cross-conference visit with FC Dallas at Toyota Field. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET. Fans can watch the game on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV and listen locally on ESPN 1530.
With The Orange and Blue deep in the heart of Texas, let’s break down this matchup with some key numbers to consider, presented by CTI.
Luciano Acosta has been the most impactful player in MLS dating back to the start of the 2023 season without a doubt. Since the start of the 2023 season, a year in which he won the MLS MVP, Acosta has had the most games with 2 or more goals+assists with 16 this season. Acosta, who also has 15 assists this season which leads MLS, also leads the league in games with 1+ goals and 1+ assists with 12, five more than the second place Lionel Messi of Inter Miami CF.
Pavel Bucha leads all midfielders with 17 balls won this season, which also stands fourth most in the league when factoring in all positions. Two of the three players above him on the full rankings, though, are his teammates, Miles Robinson and Matt Miazga, with 25 and 24, respectively. Right behind the Czech midfielder as well is teammate Obinna Nwobodow with 16 balls won in a tie for fifth place.
The newcomer to Cincinnati has been a force in the midfield as, on top of his importance in the midfield, Bucha is second on the roster behind only Luciano Acosta with 5 assists this season.
No active FC Cincinnati players have scored a goal against FC Dallas, but not for good reason. The last time FCC played Dallas was in 2019 on a trip to Toyota Stadium, where The Orange and Blue fell 3-1, with Emmanuel Ladesma scoring the lone goal.
With Yamil Asad’s headed goal last Saturday night, FC Cincinnati has now had 10 first-time goal scorers for the club this season, the second most since the club joined MLS in 2019 and the 13 debut goal scorers that season. Asad joins Malik Pinto, Alvas Powell, Isaiah Foster, Dado Valenzuela, Miles Robinson, Luca Orellano, Corey Baird, Kevin Kelsy and Pavel Bucha.
FC Cincinnati has been one of the best road teams this season in MLS, providing dominant performances on offense and defense when playing away from TQL Stadium. With 15.32 xG, third most in the league and 19 goals, also the most road goals in the league, the offense has clicked when it’s needed to to secure a 7-1-1 record on the road. On defense FCC has conceded just 12 times away from home and allowed 14.98 opponent xG, fifth most in the league on both fronts.
What matters most, though, is FCC has tallied a league-high 22 points away from home, putting The Orange and Blue already on pace for one of the best seasons away from home in MLS history. With the record road pace being set by LA Galaxy in 1998 (pre-draw era) at 35 road points, eight more road points would give FCC a tie for the top ten with 30.
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A 5-year-old boy died on Friday night after fire rescue personnel and police officers responded to Miami-Dade County’s Richmond West neighborhood.
