Fox News hires Steve Doocy’s son as ‘a general assignment reporter.’
Last year, Peter Doocy, the son of Fox and Friends co-host Steve Doocy, grabbed his 15 minutes of fame when asked Sen. John McCain on MSNBC’s Hardball if then-Sen. Hillary Clinton was “hitting the sauce.” The young Doocy followed it up with an appearance on Fox and Friends and “reporting” at the Democratic National Convention that included twittering with the Denver Broncos cheerleaders. Now, TVNewser reports that Doocy has been hired as “a general assignment reporter” for Fox News. Doocy previously filed reports for the Fox News-affiliated student website Palestra and served as an intern on his father’s show in 2004.

Another ill-informed, bigoted propagandist for Fox. Not to mention the blatant nepotism. Pathetic, Fox is.
June 9th, 2009 at 7:46 pmFOX News: now more douchy than ever!
June 9th, 2009 at 7:46 pmSo the legacy of hatred and stupidity gets perpetuated at Fixed News. Is this enough nepotism for conservatives?
June 9th, 2009 at 7:48 pmLOL! He has as much credentails as Elizabeth Hassleback. What a cheese! These peole are lacking in the brain department. I guess that’s why Sarah Palin is so popular.
June 9th, 2009 at 7:48 pmFox . . . just looking for the BEST journalists to be “fair and balanced” . . .
Kinda like Liz Cheney being assigned a State Department Job as Middle East Expert . . . it was all based on finding the most qualified . . . . sic
June 9th, 2009 at 7:49 pmFox News, now with twice the Stupidoocy!
June 9th, 2009 at 7:50 pmHe couldn’t get a job anywhere else.
June 9th, 2009 at 7:52 pmI hear he’s going to do a special weekly piece on the activities of the ‘Tea Bag’ movement.
It will be referred to as the “Doocy-Bag” report.
Appropriate.
June 9th, 2009 at 7:54 pmI am gagging.
Doosh bag Doocy and Doo fus Doocy.
(the spelling had to be adjusted for TP monitors)
June 9th, 2009 at 7:54 pmFunny what they let in and what they filter out isn’t it.
Off da hook.
not.
June 9th, 2009 at 7:56 pmThis is what GOP “Welfare” looks like. Hire the reporter’s kid, pretend like he’s contributing, write the check, yuck it up. This is the same crowd who want to argue that Judge Sotomayer is not qualified. After the first day, I bet the kid called his frat buddies and told them what suckers his “bosses” are for giving a microphone and a big check for “nothing.”
June 9th, 2009 at 8:01 pmAre there genetic factors associated with psychotic disorder?
Some psychotic disorders, like Schizophrenia, tend to run in families. If someone has a psychotic disorder, it is quite likely that another member of his/her immediate or extended family also has had a psychotic disorder.
See Steve Doocy and son
June 9th, 2009 at 8:03 pmDick Cheney and his snotty nose kid.
Sooo… Fux nOoze has “doubled down” (see backgammon doubling cube) on stupidity and nepotism.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:04 pmWhat a terrific resume: FOX, FOX, FOX and, oh yeah, dad works at FOX, too.

You should be happy, now there is less competition for your job at Wendy’s.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:06 pmPretty soon they’re going to be so narrowed down to a handful of psychos that nepotism will be the only way they can fill any positions. Have fun with that, FAUX.

Wad ‘em up, loons! Congrats, Little Doocy!
this makes about as much sense as your screenname…
June 9th, 2009 at 8:15 pmJust one more low-IQ idiot to catapult the propaganda.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:15 pmJohnM
The Doocy family would be working at Wendy’s if their actual skillset were left up to an honest marketplace. A meritocracy, we’re not. Certain ills have overtaken the marketplace (outsourcing, nepotism, discrimination in its various forms) and left people like Zooey who work very hard and go to school working for less than they’re worth.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:16 pmNow that Fox found Steve Doocy 2, the look now by Fox is for another Brian Kilmeade 2.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:16 pmOk folks. It’s time to go back to ignoring the a$$wipe trolls here. They contribute nothing and stink up the place. Perhaps if we ignore them, they will get bored and go away.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:16 pmDoocy should ask G Bush sr. his opinion of what it feels like, to give your kid everything, and still have a failure for a son.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:16 pmSome woman slept with Steve Doocy?!
June 9th, 2009 at 8:16 pmPeter, don’t forget to ask Ernest Borgnine about the secret to long life. Oh, and make sure you shake hands with him before you leave.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:18 pm“…Brian Kilmeade 2″
Next they’ll hire Brian Pinhead (pronounced ‘pi-NADE’) from The Tick.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:22 pm#25 — Wayne,
You listen to Howard, right?
June 9th, 2009 at 8:23 pmThis is exactly what Dr. David Duke was talking about in his I Have a Dream speech.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:26 pmJohnM Says:

I, for one, am glad that Doocy’s son is working at Fox. Heck, what father wouldn’t be appreciative to see his son follow his footsteps?
And at least he’s not working at Wendy’s. He’d be fired for hitting the BBQ sauce.

So?
June 9th, 2009 at 8:30 pma$$wiper – you need to stop lying on Keith Olbermann. Produce evidence that he went to ag school.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:31 pmoh wait a$$wiper – I forgot you trolls never have any facts to back up the shyte you spew.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:31 pmYour point, troll? Funny you didn’t mention Olbermann graduated from Cornell.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:34 pmdixie blood,
Nope. Just listen to Q104 on the drive in to work and the ride home. But I do know a funny clip when I see one.

Purple State Says
Some of your co-whores are claiming he has no qualifications, that’s “so.”
So?
Olbermann’s got the better job, does he not?
June 9th, 2009 at 8:37 pmIn case anyone was unsure of the facts, Keith Olbermann showed his diploma on his show. It says “Columbia University”. Ann Coulter seemed to be the only one bothered by this. That guy needs to get a life.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:37 pmAside from his major, what’s Doocy’s GPA?
June 9th, 2009 at 8:37 pmCornell, Columbia, whatever. This is too stupid a topic to waste time on. I certainly don’t care which college he attended, and I don’t understand why anyone would. He has more college credits than I do. And he’s smarter than me. That’s all I know.

Whatever, are you repeating Man Coulter’s jab at Olbermann regarding his degree? Silly dittohead.
Well, you don’t get paid millions without credentials.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:40 pmI did see Keith Olbermann hold up his degree from Cornell.
Those with serious qualifications aren’t usually so quick to hop onto papa’s turf.

According to wikipedia, at least, Olbermann actually graduated from Cornell with a degree in Communication Arts. He started at Cornell when he was 16 after graduating from one of the better prep schools. It also turns out he grew up in the same town my dad did, which is good, but he’s a “lifelong Yankees fan” which Wayne knows is BAD.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:41 pmHey Wayne Ant – you beat me to it! LOL

How pathetic was that? LOL!
So?
June 9th, 2009 at 8:42 pmVery true, Wayne. Good point.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:42 pmYeah, it looks like it’s time to re-institute the Troll Flag N Freeze Program again. It has been pretty successful before, especially on the parasite we have infecting this thread.
If we pay no attention to the troll, and just leave it to mumble to itself, it’s really funny how quickly it deteriorates. Eventually it will declare “victory” and then melt down.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:43 pmFox royalty. In a few generations they’ll be producing these trolls, and there will still be an idiot audience. Fox is like a mean babysitter for morons.

Congrats doocy! The libs are peeing their panties already!
June 9th, 2009 at 8:55 pmJimmy lad, why don’t you tell us again how much you support the troops?
Urging the release of photos that you fervently believe will put our troops in further danger, simply because you think it will score you a political point. That’s the steadfast support our military is coming to expect from the Right.

June 9th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
Okay, JBB has now proved beyond any reasonable doubt that he is totally freakin’ delusional. I’m kinda curious to know exactly which of our comments he believes prove that we are in any way frightened by either Doocy. Maybe it’s that projection stuff again – yeah, that’s it, Jimmy’s so afraid of the little Doocy that he peed his own panties.
June 9th, 2009 at 9:19 pmExactly right, Jane.
Jimmy can make himself feel better about his urine-stained big boy underpants if he pretends that “libs” are even more scared than he is.
June 9th, 2009 at 9:30 pmlooks just as goofy as daddy

What’s pathetic is your never ending stupidity.

June 9th, 2009 at 10:22 pmOh goody. A double dose of dimwitted Dooncy. Twice the drivel.
June 9th, 2009 at 11:16 pmobamawipe$ Says:
As expected, nothing, but it is worth pointing out that this particular useless troll has been posting a constant stream of mindless and meaningless comments for 12 hours and 23 minutes, which seems to be a typical day for the troll. I wouldn’t call it “impressive” — pathetic is more accurate. But it is noteworthy, I think. Here is an individual whose life is so utterly devoid of meaning or content that it has nothing better to do, nothing more rewarding or significant, than to type drivel hour after hour simply to draw attention to itself, apparently believing that comments like “project much?” are clever and amusing.
Maybe we should take up a collection to send the pathetic little thing to camp for the summer. Boot camp is obviously out of the question, but there must be a summer camp somewhere that could at least teach the little creature out to make lanyards. Or train it in how to scrape roadkill off the highway.
June 9th, 2009 at 11:23 pmThe wiper in boot camp. It wouldn’t last through MEPS.
June 9th, 2009 at 11:25 pmJust a quick note to remind and alert some folks about the demented troll going by obama…$ = olby sucks = royalking = habib = etc.
Some of the TP regulars saw this moron going into meltdown mode this morning when he accused them of being one and the same poster.
I’ve also mentioned that he is a closet homosexual with a crush on Keith Olbermann, as evidenced by his posts above.
So, what we have here is a functional but highly disturbed 40+ year old, who DOES milk horses for a living and LOVES to be abused. He doesn’t even try to make any valid arguments. He just wants to annoy someone and receive his daily dose of humiliation.
Seek professional mental help, Jeffy Bovine.
June 9th, 2009 at 11:34 pmYour homosexuality is not an illness. Your paranoia is.
That may just be an insult to homosexuals.
June 9th, 2009 at 11:41 pmSo much for FOX having successful people, right ‘freedom’?

June 10th, 2009 at 6:31 amLittle Doocy = more proof of that old saw: “The nut does not fall far from the tree.”
June 10th, 2009 at 7:08 amHe looks like an inbred nepotist. doofus and doofuser. Just imagine the IQ of the audience that he will pull in.
June 10th, 2009 at 8:39 amIf he is half as stupid as his dad(and every indication says yes), He’ll rule Faux News within a couple of months.
June 10th, 2009 at 10:00 amDoes Brian Killmeade have any children with aspiring qualities for FOX TV? He is a really big tool. What an eeeeewwwwww visual
June 10th, 2009 at 10:05 amNeato – He can help Fox viewers brush up on their Jager shot and date-rate techiniques.
June 10th, 2009 at 12:19 pmYou have to love nepotism, esspecially in an economy like this where you have the worst of the worst getting jobs they are not qualified for
