Well, color this writer mildly surprised.
Looks like CNN — or at least some on the beleaguered network — actually grew a backbone since the COVID-19 pandemic first hit.
CNN host Michael Smerconish (who, in fairness, is about as reasonable of a voice on the leftist network as you will find) spoke to former NIH head and COVID-19 czar Dr. Anthony Fauci on his Saturday CNN show, “Smerconish.”
It was, legitimately, probably the best six or so minutes of television that CNN has aired — perhaps, ever — because it refused to give an easy pass to Fauci.
It’s a marked difference from when the COVID-19 pandemic first hit and CNN saw fit to shame anyone who wasn’t in lockstep with draconian government measures, like mask mandates.
