Perhaps surprisingly, both the New York Times and the Washington Post have now published articles on the Fauci diaries. Unsurprisingly, both are complete whitewashes. They sanitize his record and reduce the criticism to the suggestion that he may have been a little too narcissistic.
Neither outlet confronts the diaries’ central revelation, which is that Fauci repeatedly said one thing in private and another in public. That applies to the possibility of a laboratory origin, the supposed role of the Wuhan seafood market, the Wuhan lab’s extraordinarily dangerous gain-of-function research, the infection fatality rate, dissenting scientists such as Jay Bhattacharya, and much more.
This was their chance to admit that they were wrong to trust Fauci, that he was a charlatan, and that they had failed their readers by acting as establishment propaganda outlets rather than journalists. They could even have blamed Fauci and washed their own hands of the entire scandal.
But they cannot bring themselves to do even that.
This is absolutely true, but not for any religious reasons. The Bible is a foundational example of mythology (and a bit of history) and should be taught in a secular classroom because it is impossible to understand western civilization without grappling with its influence.
From the snippets of Fauci emails that I've seen, the thing that most infuriates me is that Fauci *knew* that "dissenters" like @DrJBhattacharya were honest actors making reasonable arguments but he coordinated attacks on them anyway.
Ah, it's the "zionists" who foment "Islamophobia," not followers of an ideology that spurs people to blow things up, randomly stab infidels, or drive cars into crowds, says the man who celebrates Hamas and Hezbollah and justifies 9/11.
Brian Williams lost his news hosting job for lying about being under fire on a media trip to Iraq. Jake Tapper secretly dining with Fauci while lecturing everyone they couldn’t have Thanksgiving dinner with their families, to me, is much worse.
Hey @jaketapper why were you having dinner with Dr. Fauci and telling him you believed President Trump was “totally nuts” while you were telling your TV audience it wasn’t safe for them to have Thanksgiving dinner with their families?
They literally overthrew the United States Government…
This ‘Dynamic Duo’ privately shred records, hyped death rates and chased cameras while the world burned.
ARREST THEM BOTH
