Dr. Fauci Calls Out Fox News For Misleading Reports About Coronavirus

Dr. Anthony Fauci on Monday singled out Fox News for what he called its sometimes “outlandish” reporting on COVID-19 at a time when the public needs vital facts about the pandemic.

The nation’s top infectious disease expert was interviewed by CNN’s Brian Stelter. In highlights from the conversation aired on “The Situation Room,” Fauci spoke of misinformation in the media and also discussed concerns relating to President Donald Trump’s controversial new coronavirus task force adviser, Dr. Scott Atlas.

“The bad guy is the virus. The bad guy is not the person on the other side of your opinion,” Fauci said.

“There is so much misinformation during this very divisive time that we’re in, and the public really needs to know the facts,” he added. “Some of the media that I deal with really kind of, I wouldn’t say distort things, but certainly give opposing perspectives on what seems to be a pretty obvious fact.”

Fauci is in the no-win scenario at the moment of trying not to get fired by an imbecile with a temper problem and a self-confidence issue that refuses to allow him introspection or reflection...but fuck's sake, Fox is nothing by outright LIES and DECEPTIONS. They are propaganda and would not recognize truth if it bit them in the ass.

Fox "News" should have no part in events such as presidential debates.
