MS NOW's The Last Word on SnapStream
On Wednesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci sat before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, where the pre-pardoned former COVID czar pleaded the Fifth 111 times. The Republican senators grilled Fauci on the pandemic, its origins, and the contents of his recently-released diary but as Fauci was humiliated and drew even more justified suspicion upon himself, the leftist media fell over themselves in his defense.

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s newly released journals have cast light onto the glory-seeking nature of his response to the COVID pandemic, and in response the Senate brought him to testify for his lies and possible perjury.
With a major chunk of their credibility tied to their defense of pandemic practices, the media has been quick to portray the hearing as a show trial and political prosecution. This Thursday’s CNN News Central featured co-host Sara Sidner covering the scandal with such a narrative.
Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky dropped some fascinating messages from Dr. Anthony Fauci and his very political approach to "the science" of Covid, not to mention the chummy collusion between Fauci and the press. After Paul's hearing, the networks and the News Apps painted Fauci as a victim of unhinged Republicans waging a war on science.
CNN senior correspondent Donie O’Sullivan joined The Source host Kaitlan Collins on Thursday to promote his new documentary, The Left Insurgency, that will air on Sunday. As part of that documentary, O’Sullivan interviewed far-left influencer Hasan Piker, who is known for being a member of the Mao Zedong fan club, but despite this, O’Sullivan claimed that the “democratic socialists” just want to make America more like Norway.
One can’t accuse the PBS News Hour of ignoring the Anthony Fauci hearings. The first 12-plus minutes of Wednesday’s show were devoted to the hearings, and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee chairman Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) ongoing tangle with the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who headed up America’s COVID response under President Trump and then President Biden.

This week, the “Big Three” Networks and News Apps shielded fellow elitist liberal, Dr. Tony Fauci, largely ignoring bombshell revelations from his pandemic-era diaries released Saturday by Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) before Wednesday’s Senate hearing and, following the proceedings, promulgating Fauci’s preferred framing of a “deep, partisan,” and “fiery” affair foisted upon him by Republicans.

The plot thickens? In an update to the on-going struggle of Navy veteran and former CIA Officer Zachary Young to publish his tell all book about his successful defamation trial against CNN, Young alleges the Central Intelligence Agency has issued contradictory letters while still refusing to give him permission to write about what was already broadcasted to a global audience.
Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host-of-the-week Jordan Klepper and NBC’s Late Night host Seth Meyers finally acknowledged the existence of the Fauci Hearings on their Thursday shows and eagerly stepped up to defend him. According to Klepper, the hearings featured Republicans trying to reduce a complicated topic to “a performative partisan filter," while Meyers blamed President Trump for any of the federal government’s public health apparatus's trust problems.

Thursday’s CNN This Morning was forced to cover the aftermath of Dr. Anthony Fauci pleading the Fifth Amendment in a Senate hearing focused on Fauci’s actions during the pandemic and diaries released by Senator Rand Paul (R-KY). But the network continued to minimize the diaries and the hearing overall, as Democratic CNN commentator Maria Cardona called it a politicized “sham” and fill-in host Erica Hill called the diaries “a choose-your-own-adventure of 1,100 pages.”
