She didn't blame media bias or assert the media had it all wrong, just that headlines are sensationalized a bit and can be misleading.

Which is true.

Perfect example of intelligence in one subject and can't apply that reasoning to any other subject - she s literally an "insect" (like all insects, and many of us professionals, she is only adapted to deal with a very narrow area of expertise).

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I don't watch CNN as much as I watch MSNBC and I don't recall an interview with her on MSNBC. Fauci has been on both as well as other media outlets. I've only seen Dr. Birx on Fox and CBN.

The media is playing all sorts of word games trying to prop him up and avoid completely scaring the shit out if people.

If they told it like it is straight up without the filter, people would be ripping the walls out of the ground to get to Mexico.

Apparently she's never seen a newspaper. She must not be aware that the headline font is bigger so it need to be brief.
Another one who proves that diligence & effort can result in an MD just as commonly as being really smart. She's definitely exhibiting no traits of the latter. If she was smart, she'd have never said this!

She seems to be the kind that enjoys the prestige and power that comes with the job more than the science and work. Here in this clip she reminds Waters that she has dealt with media all over the world in her travels.
