Source: Fauci expressed disillusionment with ‘rambling, crazy’ Trump in journal | Anthony Fauci | The Guardian For “about 20-25 minutes”, Fauci wrote, he “encouraged [Trump] not to underplay the seriousness of the situation since if it turns out bad, it would look like he is covering up. I even spoke to him from a political standpoint that his chances for re-election might be more damaged if he downplayed the potential spread of virus in the USA than if he said we may face serious problems and even if the Stock Market goes down further, he was at least honest and the country would respect him for it. “I thought that he heard what I said, but the next day, he again underplayed it.” By 14 March, in the thick of the first Covid shutdowns, Fauci is bemoaning Trump’s fixation on “the fluff of ratings and publicity. And so he wants us to do 2 press conferences/day – one in AM and one in PM … We now will have no time to do work.” Scanning local radio, heard some ‘talk radio’ heads lying to their sheeple about what will happen Wednesday.

the cdc should have had a spokes person who understood the science, and had public relations experience. it was an untenable position for Fauci, who was deeply involved, but lacked the communication ability needed.
The talking heads were making stuff up about the ‘diary’ and then complaining that real news sources were not repeating their ‘outrage.’ They also injected complaints about free people who choose to wear a face mask in public. They were so frustrated that their fantasies were not ‘news’ they basically were flittering about with no consistency. Babbling more than informative. Especially ineffective noise. Soon I was scanning the stations for more music. Bob Wilson
Propaganda parrots are everywhere … including ‘talk radio.’ We used to call them ‘trolls’ and Proverbs ‘fool.’ Bob Wilson
