Liberal media reporters and pundits admitted over the weekend they were wrong to dismiss the Wuhan lab leak theory just because it was espoused by former President Donald Trump.Mainstream reporters had pushed back at the idea that COVID-19 may have originated in a virology lab in Wuhan, China, and openly ridiculed the idea as Trump spoke openly about it in the early days of the pandemic. But now, those same reporters have admitted that it is possible that the virus came from a lab leak — as more scientists and political officials openly question the virus' origins.'I think a lot of people have egg on their face,'

Perhaps blood on their hands would be more appropriate.

Still not covering that Dr. Fraud personally overrode the funding ban on 'gain of function research' to fund the intentional modification of a bat virus to make it able to infect humans.

The media knew. They wanted to stick it to Mr. Trump. He was the one man standing up to the Chinese Communists. The media and their pals like Biden and Romney needed to keep making money off the Chinese. And they needed to get rid of Mr. Trump.
Too little too late, you jacktarded media! May they rot in hell. Boycott them!

Chinese culpability is all in the Yan Report: “Unusual Features of the SARS-CoV-2 Genome Suggesting Sophisticated Laboratory Modification Rather Than Natural Evolution and Delineation of Its Probable Synthetic Route”. The Chinavirus has two tell-tale splicing sites added flanking the spike protein, and a protease cleavage site added to make it resemble HIV. My thinking is that Dr. Fauxi was trying to get the NIH to produce an AIDS vaccine in China as it was too dangerous to fabricate here.
On a “happy” note, Ralph Baric of North Carolina State and true friend of Fauxi and father of Gain-of-function coronaviruses was elected to the National Academy of Sciences this year, our highest honor.

COVID originated in Wuhan, site of China's most advanced virology lab studying bat viruses.
Occam's Razor ...
Choice 1 A bat in Wuhan bit a human.
Choice 2 Humans at a Wuhan Market were eating bats.
Choice 3 The virus got out of the lab.
Pretty obvious. The question now being "Accidental or Deliberate ? "

If the mainstream media had been objective:
1. Neither Obama nor Biden would have been President notwithstanding the massive voter fraud that occurred regarding Obama's 2nd term and the 2020 Presidential election, and
2. Donald Trump's defeat of Hillary Clinton would been by many millions of additional votes for Trump.

That isn't egg on their faces. That is their forked tongue, their lying eyes, and blood on their hands. They used lying propaganda that cost Americans many lives just to spite and prove President Trump wrong. It was they who were wrong, just as they were about hydrochloroquine. They are responsible for the deaths of many Americans.

This reveals the larger tactic of the Left. If open debate could ever be beneficial to the Left then they would embrace it. The fact that they prohibit open, honest debate is prima facia evidence of their intent to deceive and mislead.
Classic Debate Rules:
1. The first one to get angry loses.
2. The weakest argument is an "Appeal to Authority".
Marxists are wise to avoid debate because their dogma requires wholesale deception.

Is it true that Dr. Fauci and WHO are to be joint recipients of the Josef Mengele "Angle of Death" award for enabling the creation and spread of COVID-19 ?

While they are in apology mode, how about January 6th and the stolen election of 2020? They will be going through a lot of eggs this year.

They've wrecked what little was left of their credibility, along with their friends in the Deep State who've also wrecked their credibility. Trump's greatest gift to the nation was exposing these poseurs.

The media never tells the truth, not then and not now. They covered it up to protect those that conspired to create and release the virus, Red China and the Democrats.

Where are the angry demonstrators around the offices of the lying media outlets, including your local BS broadcasters and publishers? Where are the signs proclaiming "You LIED!" and "You Have No Ethics or Honor"? Conservatives complain...and sit by until the story fades. They're too "nice" to make trouble. Besides, it could go on their permanent record...and they have jobs, etc. etc.
As "Ask Abby" often said, you can't be taken advantage of unless you permit it.

Wrong about covid origins, wrong about Russian collusion, wrong about impeachment, wrong about vaccine lead times, basically wrong about everything. Now, let's take a look at the 2020 election fraud the media said was also debunked. Trump won.

In other words, the evidence became so overwhelming that their continued denials would have put them in jeopardy of looking even more partisan than they already are. Listening to the DNC media is about as smart as thinking that Joe Biden is a member of MENSA.

#9, their lies also cost the lives of many people outside the US. Medical people in other countries, India for example, were influenced by their lies and caused many to die by withholding drugs like Ivermectin.

The media is this country is crap, plain and simple, they have an agenda which is fine for the editorial pages but poison for the news coverage. The people that run these long ago discredited media are worthy to dig ditches. They are slime! Are wonder if they will ever admit to being wrong on:
Trump & Russia
Trump & Ukraine
Voter fraud in the 2020 election
Xiden's mental capacity and his and hinter's connection to China.
The coming raise in inflation and subsequent downturn in the economy.
The "set-up" of the Jan 6th protestors.
The radical agenda of blm, antifa & the radical left.
They are no longer news outlets they are cheerleaders for the democRATs plain and simple.

"He noted that the idea was widely dismissed at the time, but now 'serious people are saying it needs a serious inquiry.'"
No, serious people gave it serious consideration from the first. Now lightweights like you are finally waking up to it.

"New York Times reporter David Leonhardt also said on CNN that he thinks people 'leapt to dismiss' the theory too quickly because it was being espoused by then-President Trump and Republican Senator Tom Cotton, who has also said that the 2020 election was stolen.
Tom Cotton does deal in misinformation about things like election fraud, he's said some things that are just wrong,' Leonhardt continued."
Do these people even listen to themselves???? Ya think that maybe since he's right on Covid origin, maybe he's right on the election????

In essence the liberal media went right along with the leftist and liberal Democrats to throughly politicize the Chinese Communist created COVID-19 virus pandemic in the USA. They did not give a crap about all the false or misleading information that they put out to the American people that caused untold deaths in the USA and beyond. Along with the Democrats their mission was to get rid of the “outsider” Trump at any cost especially using their false mantra that Trump was a racist and a xenophobe for shutting down all airline flights from China and warning the nation that the virus was created in China and then allowed to migrate around the world.

The retards who demonstrate, riot and burn do not understand economics, science or politics because their stage of education has never reached that high. Their level of comprehension literally does not go beyond black and white.
