😳 No reporters ask White House about Fauci emails during press briefing, sparking outrage OUTRAGE!!!

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/no-reporters-ask-fauci-emails-press-briefing-outrage?utm_source=gazette.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=csg_news_feed

"We just went through an entire White House briefing (an hour long) without a single question about the Fauci emails," conservative commentator Caleb Hull wrote on Twitter. "Journalism is dead."

But some observers were stunned when the issue was not addressed by the Biden administration or reporters.

"Is it true NOT ONE reporter asked about the Fauci emails in the White House briefing today...? Wow," asked Daily Caller reporter Henry Rodgers on Twitter. "Honestly insane. Tells you everything you need to know."

The Spectator's Washington editor Amber Athey said she planned to ask Psaki about the emails but was not called on during the briefing.

Fauci said masks protect the uninfected from the infected. Advised someone early on not to wear a mask since they were going to a low risk area.

Out of 3,000 emails this seems to be all they’ve found so far.

It wasn’t actually anything bad or a smoking gun, but the lunatics have latched onto it I think.

Well idk, could be anything setting them off.

“Fauci’s emails” is enough for them.

The Examiner also has a story about Rand Paul taking a victory lap and demanding Fauci’s resignation.

From Jan of last year discussing some very unusual characteristics of the virus that suggest that it might not have originated naturally.

Trying to find a good link about it that isn't a rightwing garbage dump...

They have at least 4 other stories related to his emails. Massive amount of emails. He took time to answer even random emails from people with questions.

THAT means you KNOW there's something in there about masks, and Fauci, and even MORE Benghazi secrets!

I'm sure the list of what 'they failed to ask' would be longer than the red tie covering his fat belly - but we'll never know - because THEY DIDN'T ASK!!!!!!!

I read a couple of recaps. I’d have thought the Washington Post had gone through them and was sure others would too. Most of what I read was about him answering random people and after midnight. Nothing big at all. Now I see that the Examiner seems to think they have a big breaking story. It is the top story on Fox News too.

Some of it pertaining to the lab.

But, I've already had two posts hidden on the subject. It's something we're not allowed to discuss here.

Science should always reign. But we're a nation of narratives now.

I think it's pretty much why we find ourselves in the place we do.

I almost want to post the pertinent e-mails here without any comment or opinion. They'd literally just be e-mails obtained in the FOIA request.

And yet, I think that would get hidden, too.

No point getting banned for a truth unwanted.

I was kind of surprised and kind of not surprised to see a lack of discussion around this here. The emails appear to be worthy of discussion from my POV.
