Sinclair pulls segment that would've claimed Dr. Anthony Fauci was behind coronavirus pandemic

The baseless conspiracy was scheduled to air this weekend as part of Sinclair's America This Week show hosted by Eric Bolling. In a memo sent to its local television stations on Saturday, Sinclair instructed news directors to avoid airing the show so it can "rework" the segment. "After further review of this week's originally planned episode, it's clear that we need to provide additional context to the highly controversial segment regarding the COVID pandemic and Dr. Fauci," Scott Livingston, Sinclair's senior vice president of news, wrote in the memo obtained by CNN Business.
