OPINION: Media lied about COVID lab leak, and 4 other things the press got wrong
OutKick founder Clay Travis responds to FBI Director Christopher Wray's admission that COVID-19 likely originated in a Wuhan, China lab."Lies, lies, lies, lies." That’s either part of the refrain of a Violent Femmes song or the government telling the American publicand the press regurgitating what they said without question. The song says"lies" at least 45 times, which would qualify the Femmes for a job in the legacy media.
When conservatives or Republican politicians discussed the possibility that the virus might have escaped from a Wuhan lab, they were skewered by leftist journalists who practically carried pitchforks and torches. The reason for the theory was the lab that does that kind of work happens to be located in Wuhan, China. This"coincidence" was immortalized by liberal comedian John Stewart when he was interviewed in June, 2021, by Stephen Colbert on"The Late Show.
There was more. A lot more. CNN Editor-at-large Chris Cillizza in an"Analysis" said"Anthony Fauci just crushed Donald Trump’s theory on the origins of the coronavirus." This is Fauci who lied about masking and even The New York Times admitted Fauci had been"moving the goal posts" on herd immunity. Not exactly the most trustworthy source. CNN reporter Drew Griffin explained:"Did it come from bats? Most likely.
