In his more than 30 years at NIH, Dr. Fauci has worked under six different presidents, who were both Democrats and Republicans, but the doctor has never publicly confirmed which political party he identifies with.

Could've sworn he was buddy buddy with the Clinton's and everyone knew it. Regardless, WikiLeaks leaked Hillary emails showed he supported Hillary. 

WikiLeaks was one of the greatest organizations in the history of the world. Easy to see why US gov't is trying to destroy Assange/them.

I have seen zero evidence that he supported Clinton, but I could have missed it.  I did see some accusations made by some on line that had nothing to back up their claims.

I don't know what wikileaks said about him.  And the reporter is with CBS, that much is quite clear.

ever wonder why MSNBC brings on people to praise China? I don't think I've seen them one time really rip into China or the WHO for their complete and utter failures and their corruption and cover-ups and lies.

Hmmm. Might be because their parent company NBCUniversal- which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast- has massive partnership deals with Chinese companies! China funds movies for their Universal Pictures & DreamWorks film studios- multi-billion dollar a year arms of NBCUniversal's business. China by the way has become one of the biggest sources of funding for Hollywood movies.

NBCUniversal's Universal Studios theme parks division is smack dab in the middle of building a $6.5 BILLION theme park in Beijing- construction started last year- with $3 billion in investment coming from China.

It's actually pretty sickening to me. These gigantic conglomerates need to be broken up. The reason why the news media is such garbage is a result of these giant conglomerates putting money before truth.

I never said she was with CNN. I know she's with CBS.

jesus christ, CNN should be renamed Clown News Network. How does the media not see why when Trump calls them Fake News it lands? They are completely oblivious to reality. It's astonishing.

Also, anyone see Dr. Fauci eviscerate that despicable female reporter? Guess who her husband is....a lobbyist for...CHINA.
I guess you meant to have these separated, that you don't like CNN and separately that despicable reporter works for another entity.  Fair enough.

I always disliked the media. They have made me completely hate them. And it just gets worse and worse.

Seems like I'm not the only one. CNN's star anchor- Chris Cuomo- who is battling COVID-19 was on a radio interview last night where he basically trashed CNN and said he hates his job and thinks it's nothing but bullshit.

Well, let's be frank...

He was in his position during Bill Clinton's administration. As a result, he would absolutely have come across Hillary, especially since she was promoting a health care plan.

After Clinton's terms, I'm sure if they had a good relationship from his time in office they'd probably have remained at least cordial afterwards--I don't know if that's "exchanging Christmas cards" or if it's "being buddy buddy", but it's not like he just disavows any personal relationship with an outgoing President just because a new one shows up.

Then, he was in Obama's administration while she was Secretary of State. It's not to say that an infectious disease expert would be in a close working relationship with SecState, but I'm sure they crossed paths. 

So, he had a choice in 2016 between supporting someone with a history in politics / public roles, someone he had personal knowledge of and a personal relationship with (and I'm assuming a level of mutual respect/trust)... Or a brash reality TV star with absolutely no experience...

One doesn't have to assume he supported Hillary because Fauci is a raging leftist Democrat. The simpler explanation is that he was supporting the woman he knew, and who he thought capable, over someone that he didn't know and whose public persona left grave doubt about his temperament for the job.

Maybe focus on the subject of the reporting instead of the reporting itself.  Let's talk about Trump's propaganda video and how the president's authority is "total", shall we?  
Dwelling on the coverage takes away from the content of the reality.  Hmm, seems like a great tactic to me....

I've been on CNN twice, quite a while back now.  It was interesting to see out of two one hour interviews what snippets were shown.  There was some spin involved in my opinion, especially the second interview, that did not fairly reflect what I had said.

I expect this is quite common especially in TV/cable.  I've seen many examples where "they" start with the conclusion and then force fit stuff to match that.  I thought 60 Minutes was particularly egregious in this many years back.  They had some really bad shows about topics I knew something about, and it was clear they had their thesis up front and couldn't alter it because it would lose impact even when the facts were clear.

In an ideal world, none of us would have any notion of the political views of anyone else here.

The simpler explanation is that he was supporting the woman he knew, and who he thought capable, over someone that he didn't know and whose public persona left graha doubt about his temperament for the job. 

Fauci seems like a great guy. I felt terrible for him when that disgraceful woman attacked him like that- suggesting the guy has no integrity or backbone and is just a pawn. Absolutely despicable to treat a Dr. that is trying to help save lives like that. That bitch should be ashamed of herself.

Democrats aren't leftist. They are pretty much what moderate republicans used to be in the '80s. Obama said this about himself. His healthcare plan for instance- was an evolution of a Republican Governor- Mitt Romney's Massachusetts state healthcare plan- a plan that was backed by a conservative think tank called the Heritage Foundation. Very few Democrats are actually leftists. Republicans/Democrats are virtually the same guy. Very subtle differences. That's another debate for another time though.

Hillary's leaked emails showed he was super-tight with the Hilz. He sent her emails saying her speeches were so great he was crying- stuff like that. Which- more power to him. I'm not knocking him at all and I never did.

I was just saying it's pretty safe to assume he probably doesn't see everything the way Trump sees it. And the guy is doing his best in a very difficult situation. And I think he's someone that should be admired. And this bimbo reporter thinks she can just trash him like that. F her. Who the F is she? He's a good man, because I wouldn't have taken that from her and only given her a death stare. I would've went nuclear. Fauci seems like a great guy.

Hate to say it, but I can 100% see why Trump attacks them back and calls them losers and disgraceful and 3rd rate to their faces. The media is just making the guy more powerful. And I was never a fan of his. Still am not. They've lost any teeny tiny bit of credibility they had left over from pushing the Iraq War/WMD BS and covering for Obama's expansion of W's policies. The msm morons trashed W for the same stuff that they never said a word about Obama doing. And now they've completely lost the plot since the "scary bad orange man" got into office.

1,555 deaths reported thus far today, NY and NJ report 778 and 362 of that figure.  I presume most of those are in the greater NYC metroplex.  That is 73% of the countries reports (granted the west coast may report later).
