Criticizing the media instead of the president who attacked him, Fauci edition https://t.co/G52Z9BOT6f— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) August 7, 2020
One thing Trump has revealed is how quickly we all, like Trump, run to our corners and defend our turf. Well, Trump and the internet have done that. Much of what is on Twitter is merely gossip that was once intramural, now is now literally international.
Fauci is not attacking the press here so much as refusing to get drawn into one of the media’s favorite narratives: “Let’s you and him fight!” The media loves a story, and you can’t have a story without a conflict.
