Peter Doocy asked White House press secretary Jen Psaki if former President Barack Obama is “setting the wrong example” about covid-19 with plans for his 60th birthday party, which will include several hundred guests at Martha's Vineyard.

Setting an example has been repeatedly deployed as criticism against Republicans throughout the pandemic, and that makes it a good and compelling question regarding the former President, with whom the current served.

He never really got an answer, but he did get a big signal that it was a good and legitimate question from a very unlikely source: Stephen Colbert's Tooning Out the News.

“Here’s White House press secretary Jen Psaki winning gold in 2021 mental gymnastics,” says the cartoon anchor of the satirical show, which featured Doocy's back and forth and hit Psaki for her answers.

It's true that not everyone thinks this shows a double standard when it comes to setting a good example, but the fact that his question added so much to a debate that was already underway is proof that he was on the right track, and that Doocy's questioning of Psaki over issues other press don't or won't bring up is paying off.

Paying off for him and Fox News, and also for the American people, who actually care about these things even if sometimes the D.C. insiders or elite media do not.

Fox News has quietly parted ways with longtime legal analyst Andrew Napolitano, months after the former judge was accused by two men of sexual assault.

In a statement responding to a new lawsuit filed against the network by a former Fox Business employee, Fox revealed it had “parted ways” with Napolitano.

The new lawsuit from a Fox News employee comes months after a South Carolina man named named Charles Corbishley filed a $10-million lawsuit against Napolitano, alleging that he sexual assaulted him in 1987 when Corbishley was a criminal defendant and Napolitano was the judge overseeing his case.

Napolitano vehemently denied the allegations, calling them “completely false” through his lawyer. Fox News issued a statement in response.

“Judge Napolitano has assured us in the strongest possible terms that these allegations are false and he will fight them aggressively in court,” the network said.

Weeks after that lawsuit was filed, another man sued Napolitano alleging sexual assault and attempted rape in 2014 and 2015.

“These allegations are total fiction, and Judge Napolitano unequivocally denies them,” Napolitano lawyer Tom Clare told Law&Crime at the time. Fox News did not comment on the second lawsuit, and Napolitano stopped appearing on air after it was filed.
