The FOIA’d emails to and from Dr. Anthony Fauci have contained some real narrative-busters as it concerns the response to Covid-19 and what’s been passed off as truth and facts. However, one narrative has been upheld and confirmed thanks to the emails, and that’s the one that says many journalists are water carriers for the Dems and those on their side.
Fauci’s in-box contained some praise and promise from one ABC News reporter:

Note she promises her reporting would “never … jeopardize you in any way” https://t.co/EDPWpINHWK

The “keep me informed and the coverage will be friendly” approach is as “journalism” as it gets these days.
Carrying water, right there. https://t.co/iO2JIpB1qh

Nothing says holding leaders to account like slobbering all over them like a 13-year old with a crush. https://t.co/naMkN2U0xV

Ah, “journalism”!
So we should trust the investigators and fact checkers…
Even though they admit they will never jeopardize the people they are investigating or fact checking?

This is how today’s journos suck up to sources on their team. https://t.co/injMUpMADb

Groveling for exclusive information. Also a bit of a veiled threat that her kind reporting could change if he does not ‘keep her informed’.

“I also would like the public to know that I show no favoritism to any politician or government official.”https://t.co/KsltjLUsEi

Amazing.
In other words: give me the inside scoop so that I can protect myself and to hell with the public and their need to know. Oh, did I forget to fawn alone over you enough? https://t.co/DkzRllWbz4

Was it not already obvious that the media shills for this man? https://t.co/mtXz2oRZZ2

So, @KyraPhillips is not an objective journalist. Does this e-mail violate any kind of journalistic ethics/standards? This is ridiculous. https://t.co/wK6VdCm18J

Are there any journalistic standards these days?
