Wednesday at the White House press briefing, when asked about President Barack Obama’s criticism of Fox News,  press secretary Josh Earnest mocked Fox News White House correspondent Kevin Corke by suggesting he not take it “personally.”

When Corke asked about the president’s critique of the network he works for, Earnest said, “Hope you didn’t take it personally. Seems like you might have though.”

Corke shot back, “Well, there is that.”

Earnest continued, “Wouldn’t be the first time.”

Corke agreed, “Yeah that’s true.”
