Yesterday I said Peter Bergen’s opinion piece labeling Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a dangerous disinformation artist endangering American lives AND Bob Guaccione Jr.’s long article on and interview with RFKJr. were both rare, each in its own way.

First, Bergen: It’s rare that a mainstream media commentator mentions this Kennedy at all. The attack by CNN’s national security analyst violated standard news media practice of pretending he doesn’t exist. Granted, Bergen didn’t address any of Kennedy’s arguments on viruses and vaccines and alternatives — too complicated — or or even mention his national best-seller, The True Anthony Fauci. But online Bergen links to a Twitter message in which RFKJr. had linked to the Guaccione thing. Could this have been a backhanded way of rebelling against the government/media whiteout of the rebel Kennedy?

Second, Guaccione: “The Outsider,” done for the webzine Spin, is the first print review of The Real Anthony Fauci, or the closest thing to one, yet. I’m waiting for The New Yorker’s Michael Specter to have a go at it.
