“There has been some criticism recently from conservatives, including some conservatives on Fox News, about the fact that first lady-to-be Jill Biden goes by the title doctor,” Chris Wallace said in an interview with Joe Biden’s press person Jen Psaki on “Fox News Sunday.”
“I wonder, what is the Bidens’ reaction to that, especially given the fact that so many people over the years — I think of Dr. Henry Kissinger, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King — have gone by the title doctor even though they’re not medical doctors and nobody seems to have made a fuss about that,” Wallace continued.
“It’s a really silly, sexist, and absurd conversation that’s happening in society and I appreciate you asking me about it,” Psaki responded, then carried on with further criticisms.
Jill Biden’s doctorate is in education, not exactly comparable to a medical or science doctorate in the minds of many.
Here’s what Tucker Carlson said to inspire Wallace’s wrath.

You can tell someone is smarting from an inferiority complex when he insists on being addressed as “Dr.” on the basis of holding an academic doctorate rather than being a physician. Ph.D. holders who have genuine accomplishments don’t make you call them “Doctor,” which is why you never hear about “Dr. Paul Krugman” and “Dr. George Will.”
None of the professors I knew at Yale, even the ones who were eminent in their fields, insisted on the title, and I think most of them would have scoffed if someone had addressed them as “Dr.” The only reason you ever hear the phrase “Dr. Henry Kissinger” is that Kissy grew up in title-mad, airs-and-graces Germany, where people are awed rather than dismissive even if you insist on a triple-serving title (“Herr Professor Doktor”).

I saw part of, so called “Dr”. Jill Biden’s PHD dissertation. The dissertation was on “diversity”, where Jill stated that, one has to have so many people of color in the classroom (even if they do not deserve to be there academically). A Middle School child could have written this dissertation. The colleges are passing PHD candidates with dissertations, that a Middle School child could have written? What a joke. As far as Chris Wallace goes, he should go to a liberal cable show. Wallace’s show on Fox has low ratings.
Not to mention… all the bogus degrees of minorities that are flooding the work force will eventually make employers question minority employment to handle the position. ANOTHER well thought out liberal brain fart.
OR employers will just start REQUIRING HIGHER level degrees to get employed/black list all those colleges where those useless degrees get handed out…
They are both jokes and need to be replaced with people of color. Any color will do.
It follows that her dissertation is just as bad as Mike Obama’s paper. That one was barely readable in its simplicity and poor grammar.
Does anyone anywhere really care what this hack says or thinks? It’s my understanding his useless show had the least ratings on fox before they officially went liberal…and now that’s been cut in half.
If you are having a heart attack on an airplane and someone shouts “Is there a Doctor in the house” Who do you want to show up, Dr. Jill or Ben Carson? That chucklehead Whoopie Goldberg called for her to be names Surgeon General under Biden. She obviously prefers Jill to Ben Carson in spite of his being black and way over qualified. Maybe she just dreams of a Biden mouth to mouth resuscitation.
You mean Jill
I say if that’s what whoopie prefers, fine. DO NOT LET AN ACTUAL doctor ever near her.. Just a fake one!
Once again the left is more concerned about using the correct “label “ instead of reporting on the more important news, ie the fraudulent voting machine and voting process, Hunter’s laptop and the Biden family crime syndicate.
COMMENTleft never wants to address issues in which they are on the wrong side of-and more especially guilty in their involvement of any wrong doing!
They rightly feel, the MORE THEY KEEP ignoring all the voter fraud, the QUICKER folk will forget it happened…
Once again, they make mountains out of nothing, with the exception of Jill Biden’s insistence she be called “Dr.”. She’s the one who cried foul, so that leaves the door open to be mocked. Henry Kissinger and Martin Luther King, Jr., have been with and without their Dr. titles. I’m sure with the exception of writing books, they did not INSIST on being called Doctor. It is not sexist at all.
Calling Jill Biden “Doctor” is about as medically significant as the modern-day Drink being called Dr. Pepper. In the old days Dr. Pepper was medicinally active with cocaine and prescribed to be taken at 10, 2 and 4pm and it made you feel really good. Today the cocaine is gone and just the taste remains the same. The social non-sense these Bidens want you to take in the crib at age 2, daycare at age 4 and in confirmation of indoctrination in school have you brain washed by age 10 that they actually are competent and can be believed in their word, when if you do and you trust them, you just end up feeling really, really bad.
I often wondered, WHY MLK and others, got called “Doctor”, as well, when NONE of them actually EARNED a doctorate title.
Where is Roger Ailes when you need him. The audience finally ran little Sheppie off to MSDNC and after sticking his toe in the liberal mud puddle his libtard replacement, Chris Wallace, finally decided it was OK for him to go full leftist.
It is really disappointing how Murdock’s kid has allowed this transformation of the only reasonably honest cable news channel, into another swamp dwelling liberal mouthpiece. Go NewsMax, or even more relevant go Steve Bannon and Real America’s Voice the best conservative information source I have found.
I wonder, is rupert, REGRETTING Handing over the reigns, to his demon-spawn kids??
Your real FOX fans don’t watch or get a **** what Wallace has to say. He’s just another dope smoking Marxist loving liberal.
In American culture, to *demand* the title ‘Doctor’ tells you more about the person than the title itself ever will.
In Leftist American culture, titles do matter, and identities (race, gender, class) matter even more.
Leftists pride themselves on (classic liberal) principles of tolerance, equality of opportunity, and free speech for all. Yet their behaviors show just the opposite on all three counts. That’s how one can spot a Leftist. Leftists have simply appropriated the word ‘liberal’ and perverted it.
True classic liberals are quietly coming to that conclusion about Leftism, and I hope conservatives will help by differentiating between ‘liberal’ and ‘Leftist’ at every opportunity. Conservatives and true classic liberals have a lot in common on many fronts.
I’ve not seen ANY Leftists (even classical liberals)< ACTUALLY push free speech or tolerance for all, in a LONG TIME (like 40+ years)…
Chris Wallace is a P.C elitest who runs with and promotes people like the Bidens and other Democratic leftist.
He does this because it is an easier path to gain attention and support and to feel he is above the regular people who are not as entitled as himself……Plus he has Daddy issues!
The only thing I would call Jill Biden is “out to lunch”, which also goes for the two village idiots, Chris Wallace and Jen Psaki.
She’s a corrupt fraud just like the rest of the Biden crime family.
As with AOC’s insistence that she has a “Degree in Economics” this really stretches the imagination. It’s all garbage! But if the Left wants to kiss her backside I will just refer back to the well-known statesman Rhett Butler, “Frankly Scarlett, I don’t give a damn!”
Most of today’s degrees are worth the Charmin they are printed on.
I find it sickening that for over 4 years the liberal media took a **** all over First Lady Melania Trump every chance they had. We heard on a weekly basis that she was a foreigner, didn’t speak English well enough, and worse yet… she married the man they all loved to hate, President Donald Trump. We’ve gone through generations of the media all loving 1st ladies making them fashion icons for the masses. Plastered all over magazine covers like they were otherworldly. Then when we get a 1st lady who actually has the credentials to admire, Melania Trump gets vilified.
Now the main stream media of which Wallace is a leading leftist, we the people are again hammered with MSM support for a first lady whose credentials are questionable. But because Jill is married to “their” guy, she gets unwavering support and adoration, be it undeserved or not.
Proof positive, they are NO LONGER the media, but the PRAVDA propaganda wing of the DNC.
The application of the title “Dr.” in this case is about as meaningful as the title “journalist” when use in referring to Chris Wallace.
I have no issue calling a person with a PhD ‘Doctor’. What I do wonder is how Dr. Biden actually got that title with the awful piece of work that was her doctoral dissertation. Yikes. I read parts of it. It is rife with spelling and grammatical errors, an overuse of hyphens, and statistics that don’t add up. There are actually parts (including a statement on the first page of text) that use a word that is so wrong that it actually means the opposite of what she intends to say.
I have an MBA and have taken other post-graduate classes. None of my teachers would have allowed that poorly written paper to be given a grade as a regular assignment. It would NEVER have been accepted as a doctoral dissertation. I read and edited my mom’s doctoral dissertation and I know what is considered ‘standard’ and Biden’s doesn’t even come close. She needed to actually reread what she wrote and have someone else do so also.
A PhD behind ones name means little today and certainly does not bestow common sense or respect, in todays “institutions of higher learning” there is little more than indoctrination provided, they are no more likely to have a higher moral compass or intelligence than a cross section of the rest of the world. Some use the title for self promotion because many people bow to them. Look at the ones shown here, “Dr. Paul Krugman” and “Dr. George Will.” krugman is an idiot and is wrong on any economic prediction more often than not, Will, is a brilliant columnist who has always had an uncanny knack for seeing thru the BS. I have not read bidens dissertation, I have no interest in doing so, I will base my decision on what I can see right now, she is married to a corrupt, lecherous, plagiarizing old fool who has no problem selling his soul, and that of America, to the highest bidder, it is obvious the man does not have the mental capacity to actually make the money he has gained in 50 years of sucking at the public teat, the majority of his money is from selling his position in government for profit, at your expense and mine.
When the standards have sunk so low that anyone who has a couple years with nothing important to do can trade tuition for a diploma, it is rendered worthless. I have far more respect for someone with real accomplishments in any field (including the trades) than I have for someone who has nothing better to do than remain in academia and get credentialed ad nauseum, and then continues to do nothing noteworthy. Ambition and drive are American virtues; sloth and self-importance are NOT.
With the crumminess, being forced to graduate cause of the libtardization of our schools, i wouldn’t say even 5% of them, actually merit respect, or have common sense… AND they are no longer centers of higher learning, but have been nothing but centers of further brainwashing, for a good 20 years..
The Bidens and all their baggage give me that well-known feeling of wanting barf after taking the first bite of a soured breakfast…….. It should surprise me that so many div actually vote for him – but it doesn’t. I’m not surprised at anything from the far left anymore!
Remember, Sleepy Joe stated that his son is one of the smartest people he knows….. That says a lot about the circle of friends he is surrounding himself with. Smart, as in knowing how to game the system to their advantage. I wonder if “Dr” Jill will be at his side when he speaks to others to correct his blunders or avoid embarrassing himself…. Oh wait, he embarrasses himself every time he steps out of bunker or moves his lips in an attempt to form sentences.
In the words of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy: “Do you know who I am?!”
Anyone who works long enough and hard enough to earn a doctorate is entitled to the honor and respect of being called “doctor.” It does not matter which field of study.
God bless Doctor Robert Eberly, PhD.
Did they really earn it or did they buy it? They’re all frauds.
OR were they “Honorary” degrees??
She’s looney as Uncle Joe, this is a preview of things to come…she has Michael on speed dial.
In my experience, people who insist on being referred to by their titles (outside of formal military situations) tend to be those whose behavior fails to earn them the respect of others. If others respect you, it will be obvious, and the use of formally granted titles is rarely a part of that. Ask any enlisted Navy Corpsman serving with the Marines. They are invariably respected and called “Doc,” a title earned by their behavior, not conferred by some agency.
And with the amount of work those corpsmen have to do THEY ARE MORE Worthy of the title, than someone who just got a PHD in economics or gender studies ever will.
Speaking as a physician, if someone wants to be called “Doctor” after earning a PHD, I respect that their years in school was very meaningful to them and their obtaining this degree is a big part of their identity. Personally, outside of my practice of medicine ie socially, I do not call myself “Dr.”
This is just more of progressives trying to elevate their BS “qualifications” to something meaningful. I know engineers with PhD’s and rarely does anyone call them “Doctor”, and if they do, it’s in the field at work. Never outside of work.
Bill Nye has a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Does that even warrant calling himself “Bill Nye, The Science Guy”?
Having a BS in anything does not mean you are a scientist.
TO me, no it doesn’t..
This is a nothing-burger issue. Regardless of who she is. If she accomplished a PhD, she’s entitled to add “Dr” to the beginning. Doctors aren’t just medicos. I think conservatives have more concerning issues. We don’t need another distraction.
Two for one. We know what Dr. Jill’s doctorate is and that Chris Wallace is now all-in for Democrats.
They need to let Dr. Biden operate on Whoopie, Behar and Colbert. The Democrats hand out academic degrees like lollipops at the Dentist office.
Does anyone even watch Chris Wallace’s journalistic clown show?
No one i know of… SO far at least.
