    You and I both.....still I do like seeing others give the Lame Stream Media a dose of their own. Besides getting scooped.

    Media outlets that derided COVID lab-leak theory last year now scramble to save face.....

    Hypothesis has gone from "fringe theory" to a major presidential consideration.


    Major media outlets are scrambling to adjust their coverage of the COVID-19 "lab-leak" theory that many of them spent the past year deriding, one sign among many that the theory is gaining broader currency in the coronavirus debate after being dismissed as a "fringe" conspiracy for much of the pandemic.


    The theory, which was first proposed in the earliest days of the pandemic at the start of 2020, holds that the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a major coronavirus research site located just a few miles from the putative first outbreak of SARS-Cov-2, may have been responsible for a laboratory leak that launched the pandemic.


    The Wuhan lab has for years been conducting experiments into coronaviruses to determine their "emergence potential," or their capacity for jumping into human beings and potentially causing epidemics or pandemics. The lab has reportedly been at least instrumentally involved in risky "gain-of-function" research, in which scientists increase the pathogenicity of viruses in order to determine their pandemic potential.


    Some commentators and public officials, such as Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton, were in the earliest months of the pandemic quick to note the first outbreak's proximity to the Wuhan lab and argue for the need to investigate it as a possible source of the pandemic. Yet media outlets spent much of last year either subtly or directly minimizing such suspicions, arguing instead for the allegedly high likelihood of the virus's natural origin......snip~


    Media outlets that derided COVID lab-leak theory last year now scramble to save face | Just The News


    Note the New York Slimes, NPR, CNN the main 3.



    "Most MSM reporters didn't 'ignore' the lab leak theory," Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin tweeted Saturday, "they actively crapped all over it for over a year while pretending to be objective out of a toxic mix of confirmation bias, source bias (their scientist sources lied to them), group think, TDS and general incompetence.".....snip~


    Now that JoeyB and Team Deviant are looking into the matter Lame Stream Media is scrambling for credibility again.


    Rogin curtly rejects the premise that new evidence accounts for the about-face within the media. The "lab leak theory didn't change," he tweeted. "It didn't suddenly become credible. It didn't jump from crazy to reasonable. The theory has always been the same. The people who got it wrong changed their minds. They are writing about themselves, with zero self awareness.".....snip~



    PolitiFact this month retracted a "pants-of-fire" rating it gave to the lab-leak theory last year, claiming the virus’s origin "is now more widely disputed" than it was last year. (The ostensibly neutral fact-checking site is owned by the Poynter Institute, a journalism training nonprofit partly funded by progressive megadonor George Soros.) Facebook, meanwhile, this week announced that it would no longer ban users from asserting that the SARS-Cov-2 virus may have been manmade. .....snip~


    Ever since Nixon the Lame Stream Media thinks they have the power and are the powerbroker. Ever since their Hosts and Political Hacks/Pundits have starred in movies they now believe they are the Elite. No different than Hollywood Celebs. The American People need to rise up and show them who really has the power. Ending their influence ASAP!

    There definitely needs to be push back on them. Plus PolitiFact shouldnt be considered until they have nothing to do with Soros. Cancel them.

    Things keep getting worse for NIH Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, who continues to say during testimony on Capitol Hill that he didn't fund Frankenstein gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

    According to The Weekend Australian, Fauci wrote in 2012 that continuing dangerous gain-of-function research was worth the risk of a pandemic.



    In previously unreported remarks, Dr Fauci supported the contentious gain-of-*function experiments that some now fear might have led to an escape from a Wuhan laboratory causing the Covid-19 pandemic, calling them “important work”.
    An investigation by The Weekend Australian has also confirmed Dr Fauci, the director of the Nat*ional Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, did not alert senior White House officials before lifting the ban on gain-of-function research in 2017.
    Writing in the American Society for Microbiology in October 2012, Dr Fauci acknowledged the controversial scientific research could spark a pandemic.
    “In an unlikely but conceivable turn of events, what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic?” he wrote. “Many ask reasonable questions: given the possibility of such a scenario – however remote – should the initial experiments have been performed and/or published in the first place, and what were the processes involved in this decision?
    “Scientists working in this field might say – as indeed I have said – that the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks.


    After telling Republican Senator Rand Paul two weeks ago that he "never" approved grant funding through the NIH for gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Fauci changed his tune this week and said he simply told Chinese Communist Party controlled scientists not to conduct the research.






    Bombshell: Fauci Said Risk of Manipulating Bat Viruses Was Worth a Potential Pandemic by Katie Pavlich (townhall.com)


    Busted and disgusted. Not only has Fauci lied about the gain of function research. Yesterday he admitted under oath that there was a grant given to the Wuhan lab. After telling all in the media that no money was given to the Wuhan lab.


    Its time to send this bureaucrat to a 9by7 cell. Hopefully the Repubs will hook him up. # Fire Fauci!
    Maybe he was right back then.
    But, trusting China to do it safely was a huge error. Financing the research and then telling us they could read the results on the internet is 100% unbelievable.
    One of the reasons were ale to get a vaccine as fast as we did was because scientist were working on the methods to control new strains before this virus hit the world.

    If they'd only fact check statements of fact they wouldn't have so many problems.

    Even after a whistleblower from the Lab made it to Hong Kong and then here to the USA. Told the BBC and all what the Chinese were doing. Then hearing about her family all being locked up. All because she dropped the dime on them. The Lame Stream Media still wouldnt do their jobs.


    Now they want to do their job after JoeyB stopped the investigation by the IC under trump. Only now to reopen the Investigation with the IC.


    The people need to wake up and deal with the LSM and not just by not tuning into their news shows.

    Would it still count when talking about attractive blondes? It'd be a more lucrative prospect if you included that usage.
