You would think that after the irrefutable proof that Anthony Fauci is a mendacious little dwarf with narcissistic personality disorder, his supporters would revise their opinion of him and their own behavior during the COVID pandemic.
You would be, for the most part, wrong. Most of the people who latched onto Fauci as their Lord and Savior keep defending him, as if they were Heaven's Gate members who were out of town on the day the rest killed themselves and regretted they didn't die along with Marshall Applewhite.
Media figures haven't reflected even a little bit on their role in deifying Fauci, and clearly Fauci himself feels persecuted, now that his critics have discovered his diary proving that just about everything he ever said in public about COVID was a lie.
What's particularly striking to me is that almost anybody who still trusts Pravda is completely unaware of what is in that diary, which is exactly how the media wants it to be. Whether it is because they still love Fauci as the anti-Trump or just because they don't want to bear the criticism they so richly deserve, I cannot say for certain, although I suspect that it is for both reasons.
Fauci was a cult leader, and they were members of that cult, which you have to admit would embarrass most people.

The diary is over 1000 pages long, and was only recovered after extensive computer forensic work. Fauci tried to hide it, despite the fact that it was illegal to delete what were government records. He had used government records, and much of what was in there was the product of government work, as he had his employees collect much of the information that appears in it.
One thing that is particularly striking to me is how little of the "hard" information was new or shocking to me; the diary filled some factual holes and added context, but since I had been following the data and piecing it together into a mosaic, the diary amounted to a clearer photograph of something that had been a mosaic for me already.
As smart as I think I am, creating that mosaic was not an act of genius, and when I started piecing things together, it was not my job to do so. Any reasonably intelligent journalist could have and should have done it. Instead, they became the mouthpieces of Fauci and all the other malefactors.

They still deny it, and are still attacking the people who were right all along. The excuses are gobsmacking, with everything from the soft but entirely false belief that Fauci was "doing the best he could" with limited information—the diary shows he knew he was lying— to the incredible assertion that questioning Fauci is "elder abuse."

Sorry, but Fauci really was "sharp as a tack" and remains so to this day.
As I keep saying, the evil people in government get away with it precisely because the media enables them to. Often, the media folks are too stupid to realize what they are doing, but more often than not they are quite well aware that they are pushing falsehoods and justify it by believing they are on the side of light and goodness.
Because Trump.
