NBC Won’t Say If It Will Fire Virologist Who Lied About Having COVID-19
The Federalist ^ | JULY 15, 2020 | Tristan Justice

Posted on 07/15/2020 5:57:17 PM PDT by george76

Days after NBC on-air contributor Dr. Joseph Fair revealed he was lying about his infection with the Wuhan coronavirus, which the network extensively covered, NBC has refused to answer several Federalist inquiries about whether it has disciplined the virologist.

Last week, Fair relayed the results of a negative antibody test on Twitter after falling ill two months ago with what he claimed was COVID-19 despite never testing positive for the virus.

...

The network gave Fair’s illness generous coverage as a virus-stricken contributor even after Fair tested negative for the virus multiple times but claimed it was the “worst” he’d ever felt.

...

Fair appeared on NBC and MSNBC almost a dozen times to discuss his miraculous recovery, yet neither network has issued a correction on air, and this NBC story still hasn’t been corrected days after reporting on his false illness from coronavirus.

...

Fair has not appeared on either network since he made public he never had the virus, but still identifies as a science contributor with each on his Twitter bio.

Now if he had sent a twit out supporting all lives matter, or dont defund the cops, or if they could get a woman working there to say he looked at her funny, hed be fired instantly.

We must expect total 100% hypocrisy from libtard socialists, of which nbc is a libtard socialist propaganda machine. So no surprises there.

What is there to think about? If I would have taken a staple home from the investment Bank I worked at I would have been fired and escorted out by four security guards. And probably have charges brought against me.

In my unruly yoot I did get let go by 2 big companies. They send the guards to your desk when they tell you so you can’t fiddle with the computer :-)

Then they walk you straight to the front door like the perp walk. :)

This guy should have been fired yesterday.

Well, they might fire him for admitting he lied. He would have gotten a bonus if he had just gone along with the propaganda, and continuing the lies.

If NBC had to fire every liar they put on the news there would be no one working at NBC.

The interviewers may not have known, and in fact it would be better for the interviews if they didn’t, but surely the management worked this out with the lirologist I mean virologist.

This is why NBC is fake news. No one should believe a word they say.

The 'virologist' will have a tough time working in his field ever again. Who would ever listen to a virologist who missed such a critical detection on himself?

His only option is to become another media whore and spew whatever nonsense they tell him to. Oh, it won't be on NBC; they'll send him over to MSNBC to be with Lyin' Brian Williams.

Yup
NBC will be out of business if they fired all the liars there, which is like everybody working there including the cleaners. LOL.

A medical version of military stolen valor - stolen covid. Figures it would be the media promoting it through a quack doctor on their payroll.

The prog keeps it’s job but let a Trump supporter say the name “hydroxychloroquine” out loud and it’s 20 years in the electric chair.

Prog are utter scum.

He didn’t “miss” anything. He deliberately made it all up. He repeatedly tested negative.

Might as well keep him. They have no credibility anyway.
