Megyn Kelly Govt Producer Steve Krakauer ripped Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy over his overtly “adversarial” questioning of White Home Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at a briefing.

Doocy has risen to prominence at Fox Information with a brand of antagonism toward President Joe Biden and his press secretaries — first Jen Psaki and now Jean-Pierre — that features heavy use of loaded questions.

At Tuesday’s White Home press briefing, that method drew some fire from Krakauer — a Mediaite alumnus, longtime conservative media creator, and EP of The Megyn Kelly Exhibit — who didn’t enjoy Doocy’s act.

Krakauer reacted to video of a particularly loaded alternate through writing on Twitter/X that “These usually are not excellent questions. They’re deliberately antagonistic and are not designed to in reality elicit substantive solutions. The public isn’t served by exchanges like this.”

withIn the trade, Doocy requested about an excerpt from Franklin Foer’s new guide “The Ultimate Baby-kisser”:

PETER DOOCY: Thanks, Karine. President Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history. Why does White Home workforce deal with him like a child?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: No person treats the President of the USA, the Commander-in-Chief, like a baby.

PETER DOOCY: So, there’s this e book that says —

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: That’s ridiculous.

PETER DOOCY: — when staff walked back —

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: It’s a ridiculous claim.

PETER DOOCY: — what sounded like a name for regime alternate in Russia, the President, quote, “Rather than proudly owning his failure, he fumed to pals about how he was once handled like a toddler. Used to be John Kennedy ever babied like that?”

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, look, I’ll say this: There’s going to be a range — all the time — a range of books which are — about each administration, as you know — that’s going to have a variety of claims. That is not bizarre. That occurs at all times. And we’re not going to litigate those right here. That’s one thing that we’re not going to talk to.

There may be one factor that I do wish to — because I think I was asked this query ultimate week by using one of your colleagues, about this explicit excerpt that they were regarding — and so, I’ll say this: , we did see the excer- — excerpt — the context of the excerpt, and it seemed to be making the opposite general point about how the value of his expertise and knowledge resulted in rallying the free world in opposition to authoritarianism, which is essential — we’ve seen this; you all have considered this — and passage of the most ancient agenda in recent historical past in his dealing with of international policy, like rallying the world around Ukraine, as you just heard from our Nationally Security — National Safety Advisor, who laid out, in really good questions that your colleagues asked, about how the President is moving forward, about Ukraine, about roughly best into these conversations that he’s going to be having on the G20.

Krakauer in the past defended Doocy when he complained the president was snubbing him at formal press conferences, writing in 2021 “That is pathetic deflection. If the WHCA had any spine they’d say something and have Doocy’s back, but unluckily they don’t.”

Watch above by way of The White House.
