ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and MS NOW ignore Fauci diary entries that reveal fixation on fame during COVID
Developing story first seen 4 hours ago
A Fox News media column criticises ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and MS NOW for allegedly failing to report on newly surfaced diary entries by Dr Anthony Fauci, the former White House COVID-19 adviser, which purportedly show him preoccupied with his own celebrity status during the pandemic. The piece frames this as a broader pattern of major US networks declining to cover stories that could reflect poorly on Fauci, whose handling of the pandemic response remains politically contentious.
The article, published amid Fauci's upcoming Senate testimony on the origins of COVID-19, asserts that none of the named networks' flagship news programmes gave airtime to the diary revelations, though it does not detail the specific content of the entries beyond describing a "fixation on fame". It positions the alleged omission as evidence of bias in legacy media coverage of Fauci, a recurring theme in Fox News's ongoing media criticism coverage.
