According to the Media Research Center (MRC), Apple News, Google News and Microsoft's MSN had nothing to report the morning after it was revealed that the former U.S. director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases quietly kept COVID-19 mRNA shot reactions—including miscarriage concerns—from the American public.
Fauci, according to Fox News, publicly claimed that there were "no red flags" among the thousands of pregnant women who received the injections. MRC's Newsbusters reported a similar result for ABC News, CBS News and NBC News, which all failed to include this in their Monday nightly news broadcasts or their Tuesday morning broadcasts.
In fact, rather than sharing the unsettling revelations recovered from text messages on Fauci's government-issued phone, the Big Three news apps (Apple News, Google News and Microsoft's MSN) rallied to share anti-Trump propaganda as quickly as they passed along those lies without question in the height of the pandemic.
"He is the ultimate super spreader, not of the coronavirus, experts say, but of misinformation about COVID-19," CNN reported in 2021. "His name is Dr. Joseph Mercola."
The network was proud to "track down" Mercola at the time and "ask him about the misinformation he's been posting, like masks may not work, vaccines could be dangerous."
"Do you feel responsible for people who didn't get vaccinated, possibly got sick and died because of what you told them about the vaccines?" CNN's Randi Kaye inquired (pictured left).
His only response was a simple "nope" when she asked if he was spreading misinformation.
But the recent release of diary and government-issued phone records, which highlight the lies Fauci and others in the government told during the pandemic and reveal how wrong CNN and so many others were about Mercola and COVID in general, has not changed the networks' tune.
Rather than retracting or apologizing for past coverage, CNN has opted to report on the congressional hearings, the political divisions surrounding them, and the legal and constitutional arguments regarding Fauci's testimony, without issuing an institutional mea culpa or apology for its historical reporting of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Jenna Ellis thinks there are both public policy and spiritual lessons to be learned from the look back.
"Our First Amendment needs to prevail across the board to say that more speech and more discussion is always better than censorship, especially by the government," she recently told "Today's Issues."
She pointed out that God created the universe and allows us to ask questions.
Aside from Zechariah being made temporarily mute for effectively asking for proof instead of trusting God's word, Ellis said, "There's never been one instance in Scripture where someone was asking God a question and got punished for it or got corrected for it."
