I need to add “debunked” to my media newspeak translation guide.

“Debunked” = NOT UNproven True, or: Something that viscerally goes against the Fake News narrative and must be immediately dismissed without any actual evidence to support it being factually proven false.

i.e. “Pizzagate was debunked.”
“Barack Obama being Muslim was debunked.”

Uh oh...WaPo says it is “debunked.”

That’s a confirmation if I ever heard one. Where’s my N95 mask stash?

I just love it when experts ‘debunk’ things for us.

Joe Biden’s corrupt quid pro quo with the previous Ukraine administration was “debunked”

Is there a “Department of Debunking”?

They think it means “You’re an uneducated southern boob who speaks funny.”

From now on, any time an academic defends CCP/PLA I’ll remember this:

That’s another way of saying unsupported, but not debunked. There’s a vast difference between this theory and the JFK assassination thing. The US is an open society, and people who might have been involved in pulling levers in the background can disclose things to reporters without anyone finding out who they are. Whereas China is a country where disclosing something the government doesn’t want publicized can get you killed on charges of espionage/treason, because the government will simply torture the journalists involved until they give up their source(s).

I can’t read the whole story thus I can’t evaluate.

Are they saying that they have looked at the actual virus obtained from a patient and there is no way it could be man made like the Chapel Hill China Bat/Sars virus.

“Based on the virus genome and properties there is no indication whatsoever that it was an engineered virus,” said Richard Ebright, a professor of chemical biology at Rutgers University.

However, Richard Ebright has no clue as to why almost half of the 2019-nCoV virus genome does not match nor is it related to the genome of any other corona virus.

I know I’ve encountered my share lately - and they’re confident experts, undeterred by facts or logic.

Experts say what they’re told to say. That’s their job.

How do you know the Washington Post is lying?

It prints something.

That’s interesting. Which source ( reliable please ) tells us this? Thanks.
