Nonsense to fire doctor Fauci the most trusted medical advisor in the US. Time magazine honors Fauci as 2020 guardian of the year for his work in saving millions of lives.
Anti-truth republicans are wrong to claim National institute of health funds risky research that lead to pandemic.
This conspiracy theory has been debunked by fact checkers politifact, reuters and usatoday.
that wont stop the rumplicker fearmongering machine

Meanwhile,
here's your chuckle for the day:
the latest tinfoil hat-wearing conspiracy theory from the trump-loving rightwing whackos is:
the 'chickens' ate the evidence!
The Republican-controlled Maricopa County Board of Supervisors slammed the ‘sham’ recount of the 2020 presidential results, calling it ‘political theater’ backed by ‘grifters and con-artists.’

According to National academy of science, 3 in 4 Americans overestimate their ability to spot fake news. The worse they are, the more likely they share fake news with others. Republicans are more likely than democrats to fall for fake news since they distrust mainstream media.

Poll from the University of Utah:
What political party do you associate with?

How would you best describe the political beliefs of the campus as a whole?

"I want to know why what happened in Minamar (sic)can't happen here?" a member of the audience, who identified himself as a Marine, asked Flynn.
"No reason, I mean, it should happen here. No reason. That's right," Flynn responded.

Disgraced former president shuts down his BS blog launched just a month ago
WASHINGTON – "From the Desk of Donald J. Trump" is no longer.
Trump had used the short-lived blog as an alternative to Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites that banned him because of his constant false statements about last year's election loss to Joe Biden.

Despite no evidence, Fox news is promoting wild conspiracy theory that FBI orchestrated capital riot. Previously, Fox tries to falsely blame democrats, black lives matter or antifa for insurrection. In past defamation lawsuit, Fox defends itself by saying no reasonable person should believe its news. Problem is that Fox doesn't warn viewers about its misleading news. In flawed thinking, believers of conspiracy theories tend to wrongly jump to conclusions and imagine patterns where there are none.

You simply can't help yourself being a hypocrite. Simply amazing. I agree that Fox and pretty much ALL media outlets are full of shit. That's the game they play. But you always back CNN as gospel which is absolutely laughable. Point being is your two-faced opinions.

Comparing Fox news to CNN is like comparing National enquirer to New York times. Fox is a propaganda machine for far right extremists. Whereas CNN is central moderate to right wing on political spectrum. Polls show most Americans trust CNN more than Fox. CNN is viewed in more countries with overall larger worldwide audience. Fox has never won a journalism award in its entire history. However CNN has won many prestigious journalism awards.

According to media matters, Fox news has attacked teaching of critical race theory over 1300 times since March. But attacks against the study of structural racism in US history are really attacks on civil rights movement for justice. Also despite no evidence, Fox supports Trump's big lie about stolen election by questioning election results over 700 times after Biden's victory.
