Emails to and from Dr. Anthony Fauci that were obtained via FOIA request show that the epidemiologist at the forefront during the Covid-19 outbreak may well have suspected the virus originated from a lab in China (in spite of what the public was being told). Additionally, Fauci’s mask flip-flop is also documented in the emails.
Add it all up, and the “science” and media fact-checks in the past year-plus have been a giant pile of inaccuracies, if not flat-out disinformation intended at least in part to make the mean tweets president look bad.
Given all that, here’s how CNN is framing the Fauci emails story:
Thousands of emails from and to Dr. Fauci reveal the weight that came with his role as a rare source of frank honesty within the Trump administration's Covid-19 task force https://t.co/vCKrWJFOc0

“Rare source of frank honesty”? Please…
Here’s an email that shows Fauci knew, worried, then lied about what he publicly called a baseless conspiracy theory. But do go on about how he’s a truthful beacon of light. https://t.co/LMaJkmHutX pic.twitter.com/sGR4WFPLV5

Frank honesty?
The #Fauci emails show only infected people need masks, that recovered people are immune from reinfection and that he covered up his relationship with gain of function studies using journals and #SnakeNews like @CNN. https://t.co/hVkDKz5m0T

Nobody gaslights on behalf of the Democrats quite like CNN.
