'Part of the PROBLEM!' RFK Jr. TORCHES Dana Bash for COVID/Fauci Coverage and She Can't DEAL (Watch)

In what can only be described as peak CNN pearl-clutching theater, Dana Bash found herself on the receiving end of a pointed reminder from RFK Jr. that her network’s breathless COVID coverage wasn’t exactly the neutral, fact-driven public service she likes to pretend it was. When he suggested she might have played a starring role in the media’s problem, her reflexive denial came so fast you’d think someone had just accused her of liking pineapple on pizza—yet Fauci’s own diary notes apparently captured her texting him helpful little Republican-bashing quotes like a dedicated narrative co-pilot.

Watch this:

Dana Bash freaks out over RFK Jr telling her that she was part of the problem with the media coverage of Covid.

"No, I wasn't."

Heck, Jake Tapper was having dinner with the guy. We all know CNN was more than happy to enable Fauci's lies and keep the country locked down as long as it hurt Trump.

Which, it did.

Imagine being so broken that you're willing to destroy a country over politics. Woof.

Lie, lie, lie. Deny, deny, deny. Right, Dana?

This is CNN we're talking about, lying is what they do best.

This is exactly how every member of the administration and the GOP need to treat the media now until election day.... Debate, shame and expose every single one of them for every fraud they commited.

Agreed. And no letting up.

@DanaBashCNN you can object all you want. YOU were and are part of the machine that pushed lockdowns and experimental treatments on us! RFK Jr is 💯 correct!

She and the rest of the media were absolutely central to all of the failures around Covid. That she gets so immediately defensive and angry.

They failed the American people, they failed the world. They are disgusting human beings.

Psh, that's putting it nicely.
