CNN has whipped up an army of outraged Twitter liberals after it slammed a network of local news stations for airing an interview with a disgraced scientist who blamed Dr Anthony Fauci for the coronavirus.

Her appearance alone rubbed CNN the wrong way. In an article slamming Sinclair for airing such a "baseless conspiracy theory," CNN hammered Bolling for allowing Mikovits to "continue to make her case" without pushing back enough. CNN even texted both Bolling and Mikovits' fellow guest Larry Klayman, a lawyer who backed up her claims, to ask them about the segment.

Taking a page from the Media Matters playbook, CNN asked Bolling if he had any "second thoughts" about airing the segment. Bolling simply replied "I don't second guess my producers and bookers."

Online, CNN's liberal viewership clamored for a boycott of Sinclair. Some even demanded that anyone spreading such "dangerously false propaganda" be imprisoned.

CNN's gripe with Bolling seemed to stem from the fact that he didn't appropriately ridicule Mikovits. Bolling did call her claim "hefty," and afterwards interviewed Dr Nicole Saphier, a medical contributor for Fox News. Both Bolling and Saphier agreed on air that it was "highly unlikely" that Dr Fauci created the coronavirus, calling the allegation a "conspiracy theory."

Whatever its standing in the information war, CNN is losing the ratings war against Sinclair and its affiliates. Local broadcasters like the 294 owned or operated by Sinclair and its subsidiaries draw in five times as many primetime viewers as cable networks like CNN. Among these local broadcasters, Sinclair is king, reaching 40 percent of American households.

Amid a recent upsurge in 'cancel culture,' few campaigns have brought a company to its knees as fast as Saturday's blitz by CNN. For Bolling and his colleagues at Sinclair it's back to the studio to reshoot their offending segment at CNN's behest.

The Sinclair Broadcast Group will not air a controversial interview with a Covid-19 'conspiracy' researcher, opting to toss the segment altogether.

CNN and other mainstream outlets lead the charge to denounce the conspiracy-laden segment.

In the now-scrapped interview, Mikovits reportedly told host Eric Bolling that Fauci had helped to manufacture and transport coronavirus samples to a research lab in Wuhan, where the Covid-19 pandemic is thought to have originated - one among several questionable claims to also feature in the 'Plandemic' film, which has been widely censored online.

Though it's unclear what prompted Monday's decision, CNN reported that local TV stations around the US had received complaints from viewers, who requested that they not air the segment.
