We also reiterate our appreciation for all that Dr. Fauci and his team have accomplished for the health and well-being of Americans and people worldwide, said Sinclair. Media Matters first uncovered the segment last week. The broadcast group is known for pushing a conservative viewpoint through editorials and reports that it compels its stations to run.

Fauci says he is receiving not only hate mail, but actual serious threats against me."
