The Hill reduces itself to a waiting room magazine in a botox clinic as it speculates on Dr. Fauci qualifying as 'Sexiest Man Alive'

Look, it is not as if we here at Twitchy are a bunch of humorless scolds. We are all about the levity, especially in times of crisis like we are all enduring. But it becomes a little tough to take when the same media which have been barking about the president not taking this seriously and not listening to the experts turns around with a completely frivolous post about one of those very experts they demand we listen to with rapt attention.

Over at The Hill they certainly show how seriously they want to be regarded as a source of Covid-19 information.

Seriously.

Who came up with this? Its a little irrelevant to anything and everything that's going on.

News?

Why is there so little news about the actual pandemic?

— Electro Delecto ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@ElectricMonk69) April 16, 2020

It is not like the general public is on edge and looking for information about what we are dealing with as a result.

It is like there are two worlds out there. The real one tired of all of his crap and this fake one you mention here

After the past few months of media behavior we cannot really express too much surprise.

Is @thehill now part of @CondeNast ?

Valid question. Or possibly bought out by BuzzFeed Media.

He is a nice guy but not the sexiest man alive. When they do stuff like this it cheapens the sexiest man alive pick.

Uh, suuuuurrrreeee…..THAT is what is being cheapened here.

No worse than John Legend

See??? It was ALREADY cheapened.

The media is completely broken.

This point cannot be argued. Mainly because the media has been proving this statement as accurate on a daily basis.
