Interviewing Anthony Fauci is irresponsible
The framing and glad-handling of the Fauci interview was inexcusable. Ask the man why he ROUTINELY made up “facts”, switched his positions on masking and vaccination based on public perception, and just generally lied and misrepresented knowledge throughout the pandemic. I unsubscribed from this show because of this interview.
