Somebody decided to invite Dr. Rishi Desai onto Fox. I don't think they'll be asking him back.

1. Not Worried For Him

Faux is concerned about their legal liability from the willful spread of misinformation.
Avoiding the truth is no longer in their legal department's playbbok!

[Lars39]

She seems a bit shocked

[GoneOffShore]

21. Shocked? Completely deer in the headlights.

4. Could you provide a brief summary for us deafies? nt

6. Here you go:

A doctor’s no-holds-barred analysis of coronavirus testing shortcomings is going viral ― not just because of his blunt talk but because of where he made his case: live on Fox News.

Dr. Rishi Desai, chief medical officer of the Osmosis website, vigorously shook his head “no” as Fox News host Martha MacCallum mentioned, as President Donald Trump has, that there were supposed to be millions of tests available. She also said people were still waiting for a quick test for COVID-19.

Desai responded with a fact-check.

“Yeah, they’re working on it,” he said. “They should’ve been working on it for months.”

Desai noted that the World Health Organization had issued a warning about the virus on Dec. 31, 2019.

“We knew coronavirus was coming, we knew that it was a respiratory disease, we knew it was person-to-person,” he said.

Yet it’s only now that the FDA approved a 15-minute test and even it has shortcomings. Then, Desai explained how South Korea was able to get ahead of the situation by testing early and often.

“Look at what South Korea did, and what we did,” he said. “Their population is one-sixth of ours. Look at the cases they have. Look at the mortality they have. It’s a trifle compared to what we’re dealing with right now because we’ve had a very weak response and they had a really strong response.”

5. That was an amusing interview

Fox News needs to held accountable for their past lies

[Cousin Dupree]

8. I do believe she wasn't expecting that. Hahahahaha!

[marble falls]

9. From youtube ...

[Baitball Blogger]

10. HA! She looked dumbfounded.

Good for you Dr. Rishi Desai

[Roland99]

15. She knew he was saying things they were told not to air.

Looked like she was waiting for guidance from her producer via her earpiece

[gab13by13]

20. Same thing I was thinking,

someone in her earpiece was screaming, end the interview. Pretty short interview for such a serious topic.

[usaf-vet]

16. Petrified is what I saw. She is thinking how do I stop him..NOW!

He won't be be back... Will she?

[uponit7771]

11. *** I LOVE THAT GUY !!! *** I'm been trying to spread the news about S Korea response for weeks !!

[panader0]

12. I saw this morning that Dr. Fauci now needs police protection.

Bunch of demented fucks out there.

[crickets]

14. Sad. It just points how effective (and dangerous) FOX and RW radio's brainwashing has been.

There needs to be a reckoning regarding allowing this to go on. There used to be laws and stricter FCC licensing that kept this level of dangerous propaganda at bay--until all that was gutted starting in Reagan's era. It's time to bring back the Fairness Doctrine and do some housecleaning at the FCC. Allowing the lies to go unchecked is not just bending people's minds anymore. It's a clearly putting public lives in danger.

[BComplex]

24. That is so true: Fox "news" is extremely dangerous for the safety of Americans.

We have to keep calling them out for the terrorists they are.

[stevil]

13. I think we'll be seeing more of this on FOX

Which is an entirely good thing.

[klook]

17. LOL! I'm sure she was hearing her producer scream into her earpiece,

“Kill it! KILL! IT!! Get this motherfucker outta here!”

That segment was probably supposed to last a bit longer.


Every now and then Fox viewers have an opportunity to see behind the curtain. I like to think a few of them will be prompted to seek truth, but of course I am dreaming.

[machoneman]

18. "Hope you'll come back." In a pig's eye he will since Fox won't let him get anywhere near....

their interviewers or cameras!

[sarge43]

19. The truth can be harsh.

Deal with it Faux.

[degage]

22. They cut him off! They can't handle the truth.

OMG, she cut him off. He wasn't saying what she wanted to hear.

Can't have the truth get out there.

[Skittles]

23. that doc is wonderful

I hope to see more from him!
