Steve Doocy must have embarrassing photos of Fox chief Roger Ailes, because Roger is the consummate professional when it comes to running a news program. He knows that the heavy weight talent that people tune in to for their news should not include a snot nosed, wet-behind-the-ears greenhorn like Peter Doocy.
This kid looks like Richie Cunningham of 'Happy Days' trying to act like Walter Cronkite. It just doesn't work. The kid has as much talent and looks as anyone off the streets, but unlike Joe Average, he has clout in his dad pulling for him to keep him on the air.
Remember these Fox guys hammering Chelsea Clinton when she got her short lived NBC gig? Remember them saying the very same thing I am saying about Peter when reporting on this blatant nepotism in Chelsea's hiring, relying on dear ol' mom and dad to pull some strings at NBC? I recall Steve Doocy ticking off the many low rent TV gigs he had prior to Fox and Friends, and that nobody handed him the job without putting in his dues as a weather guy in Dented Pig, Wyoming, then moving up to a larger audience in Butte, Montana, etc. (no, these are not really Steve Doocy's early gigs, but you get my point).
Note to Roger Ailes: unless Steve Doocy really does have those aforementioned photos, you need to dump his rookie son and get someone on air with some street cred. And looks. And talent. You know, somebody who paid their dues.
For what it's worth.

Every time I see Peter, I think he's doing a fair job.
I need to look closer!
Z: it's not that little Peetie can't read a teleprompter as good as the next guy. He can.
But is he the BEST that Fox can come up with and reward their talents with a coveted national news gig with absolutely no resume right out of college? Has little Peetie got those standard chiseled good looks? No. Deep, dulcet baritone voice? No. Sculpted, buffed physique? Not even close.
Daddy pulling strings? You betcha.
I'm surprised more haven't commented on this one. I, too, have been bothered by seeing fresh out of college Peter Doocy on Fox. While his classmates went on to low-rent jobs in little towns, he started at the big time. I really think this is a reflection on his father, it really takes Steve's integrity down a notch. Not fair at all!
Yeah, I agree totally. I love Shepherd Smith, but always mute the sound whenever Nepotism Boy comes on. Now, if the kid had real talent and ability, like Chris Wallace, I would not even think of it. But I've lived in a number of small communities over the years, from Vermont to Iowa to north Louisiana, and I have always seen reporters on the local news programs who have more ability than this dweeb. Also, from another source, it appears he does not even have a degree in journalism or broadcasting... his degree is in political science.
