Journalists Want to Bury Their Fawning Friendship with Fauci
31st July 2026
The spectacle of Dr. Anthony Fauci refusing to answer questions from senators by repeatedly citing his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination was blatantly ridiculous. A man who never found a microphone he didn’t like was refusing to engage in defending his record. Then the elitist media that claim to be all about transparency and accountability rushed to his defense.
Sen. Rand Paul’s release of Fauci’s writings on his government computer revealed just how cozy the wily doctor was with the network news stars in 2020, from George Stephanopoulos to Chuck Todd to Jake Tapper. This was an obvious reason for the networks to bury the story of these writings.
It was all reminiscent of 2016, when Wikileaks dropped a pile of communications between Hillary Clinton aide John Podesta and other Democrats and political journalists. The networks discussed the leaked documents about the Clinton campaign vs. the Bernie Sanders campaign. But they weren’t going to discuss the chummy content between Podesta and the “objective” reporters.
Wikileaks exposed that in 2015, NBC’s Chuck Todd invited Podesta (among others) to their home for “Cocktails & Dinner in honor of” Jennifer Palmieri, another Clinton staffer, and her Democrat husband, Jim Lyons. Wikileaks revealed CNN asked the Democratic National Committee for questions to ask Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. What we’re never told is how cooperative the journalists were with the Democrat suggestions.
This is, in a word, collusion – a complete blur between journalists and Democrats, all seeking the same political objectives. But the media that claims to be all for democracy and transparency hide their inner chumminess in concocting the “news” product while pretending there is no secretive alliance.
You don’t need a ‘conspiracy theory’ if everybody involved knows what they need to do.
