#BREAKING: Fox News announces that one of their crew members has been injured in Kyiv while out reporting on Russia's war against Ukraine.

@JohnRobertsFox says Fox's "teams on the ground are working as hard as they can to try to gather more information."
*"outside of Kyiv" but much of the fighting is in the greater Kyiv area, so same thing.
Unconfirmed report from Ukraine's Prosecutor General on Facebook shows the identity of the Fox reporter injured outside Kyiv.

She says he was injured while out reporting in an area not near Ukrainian military assets. She says he's in the ICU in serious condition.
As I tweeted, the injured reporter is indeed @BenjaminHallFNC. Please pray for him and ask God to heal him. A true mensch who's done incredible work on the ground in Ukraine and for years prior to that, he's been a true asset to the Fox News Channel.

DOOCY TIME: "We just heard you say....you think inflation is going to be temporary. We've heard you say [that] since last spring, so how long do you guys think temporary is?

Psaki: "Well...what we do is...rely on the assessments of the [Fed] and of outside economic analysts[.]"
Doocy 🔥🔥: "inflation goes up today. The President's statement blames the #PutinPriceHike. Are you guys going to just start blaming Putin for everything until the midterms?"

Psaki: "Well, we've seen the price of gas go up at least $.75 since...Putin lined up troops[.]"
Doocy: "Last month, the statement did not mention of the #PutinPriceHike. It mentioned inflation b/c of the pandemic. Why is that?"

Psaki: "Well...the last 2 yrs there was a global pandemic...Global economists have...agreed...that has been the biggest contributor to date."

DOOCY: "Why did you guys decide to rebrand the rising gas prices as the #PutinPriceHike?"

Psaki: "I mean, if you want to use that on Fox, I welcome that."
Doocy to Psaki: "We have heard the President warn for months the gas prices were rising b/c of the supply chain & b/c of post-pandemic demand, if you guys knew for months that this was going to be the #PutinPriceHike, why are we just hearing that now?"
Doocy: "You and the President are both talking about producing energy here, saying...oil & gas companies have 9000 permits to drill now they could be drilling...Would [he] cut red tape to make that possible?"

Psaki: "What red tape needs to be cut when they have the permits?"

.@NYPost's @StevenNelson10 to Psaki: "Regarding the Florida bill, in 1994...President Biden actually voted for a much broader restriction that banned federal funds from being used for 'the promotion of homosexuality as a positive lifestyle'...why did he do that?"
Psaki on Florida's "gay" education bill: It "discriminate[s] against families, against kids put these kids in the position of not getting the support they need at a time where that's exactly what they need. It's discriminatory. It's a form of bullying. It is horrific."
.@NYPost's @StevenNelson10: "Was there a reason he supported the same policy, though, in the 90s when we were all in school?"

Psaki says "it's important...how outspoken" he's "been against" Florida's "misinformed, hateful policies" against the "LGBTQIA+ community"

It looks like the aftermath of today's White House press briefing was VERY contentious.

AP's Josh Boak pulled the plug after only 39 mins b/c the AP gets that power.

No audio, but cameras showed reporters in the back were NOT happy, leading WHCA prez Steven Portnoy to stand up. ImageImageImageImage
The AP's Josh Boak quickly left, leaving CBS News Radio correspondent & White House Correspondents Association prez Steven Portnoy to deal with the room.

This went on for at least six minutes (as the camera feed cut out, but again, no audio). Some were taping it on their phones. ImageImageImage
NEWS from me: I've obtained audio of the post-briefing debate. Needless to say, if you're someone who cares about press access and has enjoyed watching The Psaki Show like I have, you're going to want to listen to this.

Stay tuned to @newsbusters for the audio and my full recap.

DOOCY TIME: "It sound like you are blaming Putin for the increase in gas prices recently, but weren't gas prices going up anyway b/c of post-pandemic supply chain issues?"

Psaki says "there's no question that...the increase...is a direct result of the invasion of Ukraine."
Doocy: "[Y]ou say...you're going to do everything you can to reduce the impacts...high gas prices have...We're asking other countries to think about...pumping more oil. Why not just do it here?"

Psaki insists "federal policies are not limiting the supplies of oil & gas"
Psaki: "Let me finish."

Doocy: "An executive order, his first week halted new oil and gas leases on public land."

Psaki: "Let me give you the facts here & I know that can be inconvenient, but...they're important...There are 9,000 approved...permits...not being used."

RT is different than the other media fights. Why? Because it's government-funded and based on (a) spreading Putin's propaganda and (B) driving Americans apart by poking at and expanding wounds by portraying the U.S. as in disarray w/a corrupt system while ignoring Russia's record
And, while on the subject of government-funded media outlets....#DefundNPR
