I see David Gregory is on CNN, and it sure looks to me he is rationalizing the trashing of Dr. Fauci

by the fox propaganda machine. What I heard Gregory saying was that Dr. Fauci was "scaring" people with uncertainty which isn't what people want to hear.

What bullshit

The other hosts are not in line with Gregory's view, at least that was my impression

This is the lies and propaganda that fox and the republicans want to push. As in "A Few Good Men", "they can't handle the truth"

That is why you hear them pushing the V shaped recovery, this is nothing more than the flu, etc. etc. etc.

Democrats better get the vote out, whether we do it by mail-in or in person.

... David may feel he is more marketable as that "dissenting" voice. He's lost his paycheck as a "mainstream" newsreader and knows CNN is looking for that "alternative" voice. If this doesn't work out, FOX may be his next paycheck.

it's his job to present the facts and his opinion based on his expertise .

He wants Fauci to do the "both sides" bs that too many in the msm do .
