Seth MacFarlane says Biden insulting Peter Doocy was fitting because he represents outlet that has eroded trust in media

Earlier this week after President Biden called Fox News’ Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a b*tch,” Biden called Doocy to let him know “it’s nothing personal, pal.”

Seth MacFarlane of “The Family Guy” says Biden shouldn’t do that often, but it was appropriate this time because of who he works for:

Gee, somebody has been completely ignoring the media landscape for the last few years.

Now that's funny! Wait…he's being serious? https://t.co/b5753xvVHS

If he was trying to be funny, it worked.

No we’re not all thinking that about Doocy…but obviously a lot of people are thinking it about CNN…or have you not seen their ratings…. https://t.co/5tBAEKVjsK

It’s weird you’re thinking about Peter Doocy at all. And what network do you “trust,” Seth? We’d love to learn from you. https://t.co/Ck1Cbe1W4p

Take CNN as just one example. It wasn’t Fox News that cut a settlement check to Nick Sandmann after his defamation lawsuit or often features as a panelist a former CBS Evening News anchor who was fired for pushing forged documents shortly before a presidential election. It wasn’t Fox News that allowed Adam Schiff to push constant lies about the 2016 election or presented Michael Avenatti as a possible presidential candidate. There are countless other examples from other media outlets, but Fox News is the reason the media is widely viewed as garbage? Nice try, but no.
