Wallace \u2014 \u2018Oh, they\u2019re so wonderful\u2019 \u2014 They neglected to say that it\u2019s his government email. He has a separate personal email. It is common for everybody to keep their government emails as bland as possible,\u201d Gutfeld said, adding that he had always considered <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/06\/03\/anthony-fauci-emails-nancy-pelosi-nfl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fauci<\/a> to be a bureaucrat and was not as furious with him as some seemed to be. <strong><a class=\"text-black\" href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/06\/03\/nicole-wallace-fawns-over-fauci-interview-email-dump\/\">(RELATED: \u2018You Pass The Test\u2019: MSNBC\u2019s Nicolle Wallace Fawns Over Fauci In First Interview After Email Dump)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m more disgusted by the media, surprise, who once again, they refused to do their job. They are supposed to be heroes. Aren\u2019t they supposed to open up the can of worms? When somebody says it\u2019s a can of worms, they are supposed to like dive right onto the can, open it up and suck all of the worms down,\u201d Gutfeld continued, immediately realizing that his analogy was not the best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey did not do any legwork to dismiss the theory. They preferred to mock those who mentioned the theory as either stupid or racist. They kind of replaced their journalism with an anti-Trump fervor that caused them to miss perhaps the biggest story of their lives,\u201d Gutfeld concluded. \u201cInstead, they chose impeachment theater as the disease exploded because they wanted the optics, and because of that, hundreds of thousands of people died. So I blamed the Democrats on that because that is what they would do to Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be fair, I mean, whether or not it was a lab leak or was a wet meat lab, I don\u2019t think \u2014 the death number it would have still been the same,\u201d cohost Richard Fowler argued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they knew it came from a lab, they could have buttoned everything up,\u201d Lisa Kennedy pushed back as the show cut to a commercial break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox News host Greg Gutfeld laid the blame on media and Democrats for participating in and encouraging \u201cimpeachment theater\u201d while the coronavirus pandemic swept the globe.Gutfeld argued on Friday\u2019s broadcast &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2279288,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-04-at-4.36.13-PM-e1622845889669.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"\u2018They Chose Impeachment Theater\u2019: Greg Gutfeld Flames Media For Hosting Political Sideshow While \u2018The Disease Exploded\u2019","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-553127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-04-at-4.36.13-PM-e1622845889669.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"\u2018They Chose Impeachment Theater\u2019: Greg Gutfeld Flames Media For Hosting Political Sideshow While \u2018The Disease Exploded\u2019","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=553127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553127\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2279288"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=553127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=553127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=553127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
