MRC Exposes How Network News Defended Anthony Fauci With 'Republicans Pounce' Framing
MRC research reveals that ABC, CBS, and NBC covered Dr. Anthony Fauci's Senate hearing by adopting a sympathetic narrative that framed Republican questioning as an unhinged partisan attack.
The network broadcasts downplayed the fact that Dr. Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment rights more than 100 times during the three hour hearing.
ABC devoted a mere 29 seconds to the revelation of Dr. Fauci's personal diaries, framing them as private musings rather than official records uncovered from a government server.
MRC documented how the networks buried the substance of over 1,100 pages of diary entries, shielding viewers from Dr. Fauci's self-described celebrity interactions and shifting stances on COVID-19 origins.
MRC Reveals How CBS Defended Fauci School Closures and Wuhan Lab Grants
MRC exposed CBS Mornings for spending 7 minutes and 18 seconds defending Dr. Anthony Fauci ahead of his Senate hearing without offering a single point of criticism regarding pandemic policy failures.
CBS network commentators actively defended gain-of-function research and minimized $600,000 in NIH funding sent to the Wuhan Institute of Virology between 2014 and 2019.
The network attempted to absolve Dr. Fauci of responsibility for damaging school closures by falsely claiming he lacked direct authority over state and local officials.
MRC caught CBS trying to reframe over 1,000 pages of Dr. Fauci's diary entries as evidence of security stress rather than vanity and enjoyment of celebrity status.
MRC Drives FCC Challenge Against ABC Broadcast Licenses as Leftist Groups Flounder
MRC led the charge against liberal media bias by petitioning the FCC to challenge the broadcast license renewals of 8 ABC-owned stations.
A coalition of former FCC officials filed a 28-page response that failed to refute MRC evidence showing ABC engaged in news distortion and political bias.
Leftist advocacy groups submitted a joint petition to Disney leadership urging the company to fight back against public accountability and regulatory scrutiny.
MRC action has brought the FCC within weeks of potentially stripping ABC's program The View of its status as a bona fide news program due to persistent bias.
