Dr. Anthony Fauci, a figure often criticized by conservatives, dropped by ABC’s ‘The View’, with the liberal hosts offering nothing short of a flattering platform. They spent their time worshipping him rather than asking crucial questions about how his policies negatively affected American children’s development and infringed on personal rights.
From the opening salvo, moderator Whoopi Goldberg teed-off Fauci to strike hard at those opposing him. Launching into a Latin quote from his high school days that essentially translates to “don’t let the bastards wear you down”, Fauci didn’t hesitate to aim this at his critics.
Goldberg enthusiastically responded by labeling him one of the classiest people in Washington, D.C., clearly dismissing any cudgels of criticism raised against him in the past.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when co-host Sunny Hostin placed the blame for her in-law’s deaths due to the virus square on former President Trump. She requested Fauci to share his take on Trump’s pandemic management, particularly his reluctance to wear a mask.
Fauci, seizing this opportunity to tread down on Trump once again, stated Trump had missed a chance to leverage his presidential power to promote mask-wearing among his ardent followers. He firmly suggested that by ignoring masking mandates, Trump potentially let lives slip away.
Interestingly, however, not once did these hosts cross-question Fauci on the debilitating impact school closures had on American children’s educational and social progress. They seemed more interested in backing Fauci’s argument that America’s real pandemic problem was people disregarding government officials.
The View’s hosts, during the pandemic, ironically backed lockdowns while simultaneously advocating their right to the elitist White House Correspondents Dinner. They showed little hesitation in spreading misinformation about the virus and were noted chastising the president for accepting cutting-edge treatment when he got the virus.
In the final analysis, it’s worth examining the double standards upheld by ‘The View’ hosts. While they offer unfiltered praise to individuals like Fauci, they’re hardly blinking an eye at the toll such government restrictions have taken on American liberties and on a generation of children. Their inclination to stigmatize those who challenge them seems to underscore a liberal bias, rather than a balanced journalistic approach.
