MEDIA LOSER: Laura Ingraham Fox News’ Laura Ingraham mocked Bill Gates for his criticism of Trump’s new Covid adviser and recent Green Room Media Loser Dr. Scott Atlas, and said that she liked the White House official even more now that the Microsoft billionaire had questioned his bona fides. Atlas joined the White House coronavirus task force during the summer after President Donald Trump was impressed by his appearances on Fox News — where he routinely agreed with the president. Since then, his tenure on the task force has been marked controversy, starting with his open dismissal of the CDC director’s Congressional testimony on mask wearing, being called out by Dr. Anthony Fauci for spreading misleading information, and earning condemnation from infectious disease experts for reportedly pushing a “pixie dust and pseudoscience” herd immunity approach to the pandemic. Nevertheless, Atlas has become Trump’s most trusted adviser in dealing with the Covid-19 outbreak, while the nation is now being hit with a third wave of skyrocketing cases. And Ingraham, too, counts herself among his most ardent fans. Bill Gates, who has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in vaccine and infectious disease research, called Atlas as a “pseudo-expert” in a recent interview. So Ingraham and and her guest, cardiologist and Gateway Pundit fan fave Dr. Ramin Oskoui, went after Gates. "Scott Atlas must be onto something,” Ingraham said convincingly, “if so many of these multibillionaire powermongers are after him.” “I like Scott Atlas more that Bill Gates went after him,” she added as a devastating follow-up to her previous piercing point about powermongers. Still, despite the scintillating fare, the gripey interview earns no high marks. |
