Rep. Mike Gallagher calls out NBC's Chuck Todd for his questioning (or lack thereof) of Dr. Anthony Fauci

Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wisconsin) is far from satisfied with NBC anchor Chuck Todd’s questioning of Dr. Anthony Fauci on ‘Meet the Press.’ Specifically, Gallagher calls Todd out for failing to ask Fauci about the origin of the coronavirus and about any taxpayer dollars that might have been involved.

Dr. Fauci was just on Meet the Press and @chucktodd didn’t ask him a single question about the origin of COVID-19 and whether taxpayer dollars went to gain of function research in Wuhan.

This is the most important question facing the world, yet few in the media are asking it. pic.twitter.com/IjYcWnUc1j

The days of assuming that network anchors will ask guests prevalent and pressing questions seem to be long gone.

Journalistic omissions do get noticed.

Nobody in the mainstream media is going to asl that question. They are lying propagandists. Don’t believe even 1% of what the media says. It’s all fake. https://t.co/J0aS2BuA28

Credence is far too often added to the narrative that many in the mainstream media are at best not doing an adequate job and at worst promoting their biases.
