    Think about this for a second. One of the foremost labs studying viruses got their funding cut because it was the subject of a false assertion on Tucker Carlson Tonight. Once again, Fox News proves it is a danger to public health.

    Peter Daszak is a British-born American PhD who’s spent a career discovering dangerous viruses in wildlife, especially bats. In 2003, he warned 60 Minutes a pandemic was coming. Two weeks ago, NIH funding for his virology research was killed.

    This is stunning to watch: 60 Minutes details a "political disinformation campaign" that went from Matt Gaetz to Tucker Carlson to OAN to Trump and killed one of the most important virology programs in the world. No "both sides" here.

    It means Flynn pleaded guilty two times under oath in open court—once before Judge Contreras and once again before Judge Sullivan when his sentencing memo raised questions about his acceptance of responsibility.

    Seeing a lot of the talking point that Flynn 'twice pleaded guilty.' Seems of pretty recent vintage; might have originated in a NYT story last December. Not entirely clear what it means, except that some want to say Flynn is a really, really bad guy.

    The OAN segment concludes, "There is concern that the deep-state Democratic cabal and the Big Pharma are working to derail President Trump's reelection, and force the American people into total submission and control." Trump has repeatedly endorsed this network.

    YIKES! OAN ran a segment last night on "mounting evidence of a globalist conspiracy" by the Clintons, Soros, Gates, Fauci, & Chinese gov't to use coronavirus "to establish sweeping population control" by backing remdesvir over hydroxychlorquine. It cites Plandemic's Mikovits!

    While many states are lifting restrictions despite not meeting the White House's own guidelines, Trump on Fox echoed a right-wing conspiracy theory that other states are keeping COVID restrictions just to spite him.

    This has been a really popular narrative in right-wing media for a bit

    Trump claimed on Fox this morning, with zero apparent basis, that some people think states are keeping "ridiculous" pandemic restrictions "because it'll hurt me the longer it takes - it'll hurt me in the election - the longer it takes to open up."

    Mentions of "testing" on cable news over the past month via GDELT. Incredibly, all networks have been trending down the last two weeks, but Fox News still stands apart.
