CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta has become a familiar face during the Covid-19 pandemic, sharing his advice for reducing transmission, explaining how the vaccines work, and correcting misinformation. A set of interviews he conducted with medical advisers in the administration of former President Donald Trump cast a spotlight on a critical aspect of America's coronavirus response strategy and is a must-watch.

One of the most stunning segments was with former CDC Director Robert Redfield, who said he believes the coronavirus escaped from a Wuhan lab.

“I’m of the point of view that I still think the most likely etiology of this pathology in Wuhan was from a laboratory. Escaped. Other people don’t believe that. That’s fine. Science will eventually figure it out,” Redfield said in an interview that aired on New Day Friday.

“It’s not unusual for respiratory pathogens that are being worked on in a laboratory to infect the laboratory worker,” he said. “That’s not implying any intentionality. It’s my opinion, right? But I am a virologist. I have spent my life in virology.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci diplomatically disagreed.

It's a stressful day for the Fox News Channel. 

Dominion Voting Systems, a company subject to a torrent of conspiracy theories from Trump and his allies seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election, has sued Fox News for $1.6 billion.

Dominion accused Fox of spreading false claims that the company helped rig the 2020 election in favor of President Joe Biden.

“Fox, one of the most powerful media companies in the United States, gave life to a manufactured storyline about election fraud that cast a then-little known voting machine company called Dominion as the villain,” the suit stated.

If this story gives you déjà vu, it's because Smartmatic Voting Systems already sued Fox News for $2.7 billion earlier this year. 

Fox News has denied the allegations in both lawsuits, but they did respond to the letter from Smartmatic demanding a retraction and apology by airing a “fact check” segment on Lou Dobbs, Jeanine Pirro, and Maria Bartiromo’s shows.

Just last night, Laura Ingraham had to awkwardly interrupt Trump in the middle of yet another rant claiming election fraud. 

It's not a great look for a news channel.
