I'm up next on @JohnKingCNN's program with headlines from my interview with Dr. Fauci... 📺
Fauci said he is concerned about misleading info getting to President Trump – "that sometimes things are said that are really taken either out of context or actually incorrect." edition.cnn.com/world/live-new…
Fauci reiterated the basics... the info that can't be repeated often enough... "Masks are critically important in preventing the transmission and acquisition of SARS coronavirus 2." Also: "We're nowhere near herd immunity as a nation."
Here's what Fauci said about Covid-19 cases in kids: "Children do get infected. And we'd better be careful about just dismissing infection in children." Recapped by @maggiemfox 👇
Fauci goes everywhere, including on Fox News, to get the word out. But he sees Fox's prime time coverage of the pandemic and says some of it is "outlandish." BTW, he said this to me unprompted... details here cnn.com/2020/09/29/med…

Key quotes from Harris-Walz campaign memo about its ad spending plans: It is placing "$170 million in TV reservations" this weekend. That's "on top of what the campaign believes to be the largest digital reservation in the history of American politics at more than $200 million."
The $200 million in digital reservations "only include connected TV/OTT, premium video, and digital audio" (Hulu, Spotify, YouTube) and do not include further spending on paid social, search, and other high-impact placements as well as video and display ads across the web."
The campaign says it wants to "surround voters" wherever they are – "whether watching on a 'box in a living room,' searching for more information, or scrolling social media feeds. In a fragmented and personalized media environment, we believe we can leave no stone unturned."

The Summer Olympics have been a huge success for NBC. Ratings are way up. Revenues, too. I spoke with several NBC Sports and Peacock execs about what they've observed and learned 🧵
NBC's "no holding back" strategy is working: The company has given up on gatekeeping the hottest events of the day until U.S. prime time. Everything in Paris has been shown live. "We are here for the audience," said Molly Solomon, executive producer and president of NBC Olympics Production.
Key quote: "For the first time, I really feel like we've solved the conundrum of navigation. The audience is always like, 'I'm overwhelmed by the Summer Olympics. I can't find what I'm looking for.' I do think the interface and the dashboard of Peacock has really solved that."

>> @MorningMika: "Like many, I want to know, was this a one-off episode or a sign of what's to come? Can his team and the president himself move forward with more discipline and also manage the fact that he is 81?" But she's still fully on board with Biden. 🧵>>>
Mika said "this moment in the race fits the entire narrative of Joe Biden's life." She spent about eight minutes reciting his comebacks over the years. "So now, after Thursday's abysmal debate performance, President Biden finds himself at rock bottom again," she said...
"I still believe in Joe Biden," Mika said. But: "Do there need to be changes? Yes. Managing him. Management to his schedule. Changes maybe even to those around him." In other words, she channeled the Bidenworld sources who are blaming the staff.

Watch this assessment by @clairecmc on @MSNBC. All 4 minutes.
"Joe Biden had one thing he had to do tonight and he didn't do it," former senator Claire McCaskill said. "He had one thing he had to accomplish, and that was reassure America that he was up to the job at his age, and he failed at that tonight."
McCaskill on MSNBC: "I'm not the only one whose heart is breaking right now. There's a lot of people who watched this tonight and felt terribly for Joe Biden. And you know, you have to ask, how did we get here?"
