Greg Gutfeld, host of Gutfeld!, recently addressed a story published by The Wrap, an entertainment website, concerning an exchange between himself and co-host Dana Perino on The Five. The article, written by Jeremy Bailey, highlighted Gutfeld referring to Perino as "little lady" and questioned her seemingly unfazed reaction. Gutfeld used the incident to satirize what he sees as the current state of journalism.

Gutfeld played the clip of the interaction and then quoted Bailey's article, which noted that while Perino and Gutfeld often engage in playful banter, Perino's veteran status as a news anchor and former White House press secretary made Gutfeld's comment seem inappropriate. Bailey described Perino's response as "unfazed," a characterization that Gutfeld mocked, suggesting she should have reacted more dramatically.

Gutfeld then showed a compilation of clips where he jokingly referred to Perino as "short," further emphasizing the lighthearted nature of their on-air relationship. He pointed out that The Wrap contacted Fox News for a comment, which Gutfeld humorously portrayed as going to a dedicated "Gutfeld Complaint Department."

Gutfeld included a fabricated, over-the-top response from Perino filled with expletives, playing on the idea of manufactured outrage. He then criticized The Wrap for seemingly being offended on Perino's behalf and questioned Bailey's journalistic competence. Gutfeld also mentioned that Yahoo News reposted the story, further highlighting what he considers the spread of such narratives.

Continuing his critique, Gutfeld referenced a Media Matters headline accusing him of calling for the arrest of Dr. Jill Biden. He played the clip in question to demonstrate how the headline misrepresented his joke. Gutfeld argued that these outlets, driven by a pre-conceived narrative and a thirst for content, often misrepresent jokes as serious statements, thereby misleading their audience.

Gutfeld concluded by characterizing such writers as "hole fillers" who would be better off working on potholes, a job where they could see tangible results. He directly addressed Jeremy Bailey, suggesting that this type of journalism is not something to be proud of.
