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.

Why should they fire him, he was only following orders.
Did they do an on-air retraction and an apology? Even if they did, it wasn’t done with the same level of coverage as the original false story, so to 90% of their viewers, it is still true.
It’s not like the dude made an error.....and it’s not like nbc didn’t know.
Scientists without credibility should lose their funding.
I don’t see why Tucker would feel the need to flee over this.
He didn’t take off 4th of July week, he deserves some time off and it may well have been planned.
This has happened before, BTW. He or Sean happen to have some days off after something controversial & people accuse them of hiding.
It’s not about truth, it’s about the agenda and this is a prime example. Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.
Calm down Francis. The same hysteria about Tucker happened last year.

With a straight face they can say he didn’t violate their code of ethics.
What, Mr. Ambassador, another Democrat hack liar on NBC and MSNBC?
No need to send out a sub this time. He sank himself with his own anti-Trump torpedoes, lies.
Professional liars in Democratic Party are a dime a dozen. Fire him.
Three guesses, first two don't count.
Partisan Media Shills update.
So their own employee lying and the station repeating the lie. So they really are fake and corrupt.
