Pointing out that Doocy is a complete dumbass is a great bipartisan tradition:

There's nothing wrong at all with following in your father's footsteps.

Hell, that's why we work so hard, so that we can pass on to our children what we've accomplished and thus continue to make a mark after we die: has something to do with our ridiculous need to feel immortal ("hello, heaven...you gonna let me in?).

Many children following the footsteps of their parents. It makes sense—a lot of time they have talents in the same areas as their parents. I guess somehow you think that is a bad thing.

He doesn’t work for his daddy; he works for Fox. If he was not good, he would not be there. Good in their eyes; not yours or mine. You work for your boss.

Your criticism is worthless.

Some people make it on their own.

Some people have some help along the way.

In the end, both still have to do the job.

One of the best pro-nepotism arguments this board has ever seen. Congrats RonC.

Why should a business be any different than a farm?

With farms, the idea was to pass it on, keep it in the family: typically to the eldest son.

Why not treat a successful business the same way?

Nothing wrong with it at all, it's how wealth gets concentrated.

There are "old money" families in Europe that involve many centuries of nepotism.

It's obvious nepotism because he sucks
It so obvious Daddy got him the coveted on air Fox job.
The kids a clown
It's all an attempt at gotcha questions at Psaki press conferences
I wouldn't hire him. He's no Chris Wallace. He'd never make the cut to moderate a debate. He's a political hack.
I'd hire Chris Wallace who made his bones at a network his father had zero influence

No one said that he was going to be the best of the best. He is a solid reporter.

He’s doing his job asking the President questions that the President wants little part of most of the time.

When they did it to Trump, it was great reporting.

Doing it to the current guy now inhabiting the WH, it is just horrid to ask any tough questions.

About all Biden had going for him was not being Trump…now that he insulting reporters, he doesn’t even have that any more.

Someone needs to try and keep this WH accountable. Most of the rest of the reporters don’t, but some are coming around to how bad the administration is at doing the job.

…and you will say…”he’s not Trump!”
