Will There Be a Reckoning for the Media for Suppressing the COVID Lab-Leak Theory?

There is no doubt that the American media played a large role in suppressing the theory that the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China. They may not have conspired with the Chinese government in denying a lab leak was a possibility, but they eagerly did their bidding by doing their best to suppress the theory in service to the “Defeat Trump” agenda.

That’s why there must be a reckoning for the media. No matter how the origin story for the coronavirus ends — natural transmission or a terrible, tragic accident — the media must confront their titanic failures in covering the story of the 21st century so far.

Everything that’s wrong with modern media — its arrogance, its elitism, its unrelenting bias — played a role in stifling the conversation about Covid’s mysterious origins.

Perhaps the experience of Senator Tom Cotton would be instructive. Cotton, you may recall, broached the possibility of a lab leak as far back as February of 2020.

The Dem narrative was that Trump was at fault, and their MSM shills ensured the narrative was not confused by inconvenient facts and possibilities. And, no. Unless from consumers of their partisan schlock product, the MSM will not face any "reckoning".
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Agreed.  No reckoning.  Did anybody do anything to Walter Duranty?

Has Hillary Clinton spent a day in jail for all the laws she has broken?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Nope. Who will take them to the boards for that? The media?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
