Media Reporters Say Wuhan Lab Leak Theory Was Disregarded Because It Came From GOP
The Epoch Times ^ | May 31, 2021 | MASOOMA HAQ

A number of reporters from mainstream media outlets have recently admitted that the Wuhan “lab leak” theory was originally dismissed because it came from Republicans.

Jonathan Karl, ABC News Washington correspondent admitted to ABC’s “This Week” host on Sunday that the lab leak theory was not taken seriously because it came from the Trump administration but, “now serious people are saying it needs a serious inquiry.”

“Yes, I think a lot of people have egg on their face,” Karl said. “This was an idea that was first put forward by Mike Pompeo, secretary of state, Donald Trump, and look, some things may be true even if Donald Trump said them. Because Trump was saying so much else that was just out of control … he said flatly this came from that lab, and it was widely dismissed … but now serious people are saying it needs a serious inquiry.”

Besides Trump and Pompeo, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) argued that the origin of the virus should be investigated because it does not appear to have come from the animal market, as claimed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Cotton told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, in a February 2020 interview, that the CCP has not been honest about when they first knew of the virus and the United States cannot trust CCP officials about the origin of the virus.

The media are a bunch of dummies. They do no investigative journalism, They are just ideologues. Hackers.

They should be questioning the science writers and the Western scientists who worked with the Wuhan scientists.

Instead its ‘Trumps fault,” hardly, PDJT had a secret task force looking into the matter , but Biden shut it down. Something else they are failing to report on accurately.

What a bunch of losers.

“but now serious people are saying it needs a serious inquiry.”

So Pompeo is not serious and Jonathan Karl is?

For four years they had no problem peddling the Democrats’ Russian collusion lie. Karl and the rest of the enemedia know damn well the virus was straight from Wuhan. Their Deep State masters told them to cover it up. It looks like they didn’t bury the news deep enough, and now that the truth is likely to be exposed they’re all in CYA mode!

Makes no sense at all. You have a level 4 lab, one in China. And you have wet markets all over China. The virus erupts at the city that has the level 4 lab. Why would anyone initially think that it just so happened to come from this particular wet lab? Forget what the Chinese say, they lie constantly.

If Trump said “water is wet”
these azzholes would claim that water is dry.

Exactly. They openly admit they are nothing more than a propaganda arm of the DNC.

It is irony that when a true revolution comes the second group to be killed are the the intellectuals (I.e the media, professors and politicians) who supported the over throw as they are thorn and a threat to the new leadership. I hope they have a smile on their face and be please for all the work they did when the firing squad opens up. I will likely not be around to see it.

TRUMP! Say it! It came from President TRUMP and that’s exactly why every media outlet discounted it as soon as they heard it.
