Syndicated radio host Dan Bongino blasted left-leaning media pundits for not pushing hard enough to get answers to questions about the government’s alleged mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
During his show Tuesday, Bongino criticized CNN’s Dana Bash for tossing perceived softball questions to Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash). In his monologue, Bongino said the mainstream media is in an “endless cycle of stupid.”
“How is it that people don’t see this?” Bongino asked. “The media hides from people the consequences of liberal actions and doesn’t follow up.”
Bongino said a perfect example of this was Bash’s interview with Sen. Murray. Bash asked Murray if she regretted any actions taken to close schools because of COVID-19.
“This was a decision of local school officials and our scientific experts trying to get their hands around a pandemic that was killing millions of Americans,” Murray replied. “I am proud that when Democrats got control a year and a half ago, Democrats voted for the American Rescue Plan that helped our kids get back into school safely.”
Bongino refuted Murray’s claims adding that “none of that actually happened.” Instead, he blamed Democrats for pushing for continued funding and cited unearthed emails between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the teacher’s unions lobbying to keep kids locked out of school.
“The reporter did nothing,” Bongino stated, referring to Bash’s lack of pushback against Murray’s assertion that her party did all they could to get kids back to school.
“The media’s ability, using their massive microphones and megaphones out there, to mask the beatings, is almost magical. The reason people don’t realize liberals are the cause of all of our problems right now, even though Republicans may not be the solution, is because the media doesn’t tell them,” he added.
