Over the weekend Dr. Fauci said that he is starting to have some doubts that Covid-19 developed naturally, which suddenly made so many takes from media and Democrats age horribly (though they served their narrative purpose at the time.
And with that, Drew Holden has some shots and chasers featuring the media covering themselves in more glory. Up first, the New York Times’ offering on what last year they called a “fringe theory” vs. the latest reports:
Drew Holden ~ @nytimes February 2020 // March 2021
Of course the Washington Post got in on the media’s “slam Sen. Cotton” bandwagon:
Drew Holden ~ @washingtonpost, when will you update your story suggesting that the Wuhan lab leak - the same theory more scientists incl Dr. Fauci are suggesting is plausible - is a "debunked conspiracy theory" or "fringe theory"?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/02/16/tom-cotton-coronavirus-conspiracy/
Drew Holden ~ Do you still stand by your reporting that @SenTomCotton "suggested it’s necessary to ask Chinese authorities about the possibility, fanning the embers of a conspiracy theory that has been repeatedly debunked by experts."
Drew Holden ~ Really hard to overstate how badly some of the takes and editorial decisions around the coronavirus lab leak theory have aged.
CNN ~ May 6, 2020
“We urge the US to stop spreading disinformation."
China says recent accusations by the Trump administration that the Covid-19 pandemic originated in a lab in Wuhan are a political strategy for Republicans ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
The CCP must appreciate CNN’s help with pushing their propaganda.
Drew Holden ~ Less than two months apart, @CNN.
Ah, “journalism”!
Rich Jones ~ You would have to think Pelosi and Schumer saw those security reports, but decided to defend China rather than protect the American people ...
But “no mean tweets” or something.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
