Liberal media FINALLY admit they made a mistake dismissing Wuhan Lab leak theory just because Trump backed it: Washington Post, New York Times and ABC pundits say some 'have egg on their face'

Liberal media reporters and pundits admitted over the weekend they were wrong to dismiss the Wuhan lab leak theory just because it was espoused by former President Donald Trump.

Mainstream reporters had pushed back at the idea that COVID-19 may have originated in a virology lab in Wuhan, China, and openly ridiculed the idea as Trump spoke openly about it in the early days of the pandemic.

But now, those same reporters have admitted that it is possible that the virus came from a lab leak — as more scientists and political officials openly question the virus' origins.

It was no mistake. It was intentional. Probably on orders from China.

Their marching orders were to ridicule and demonize Trump on everything he did and didn’t do. And they gleefully accepted the marching orders and zealously executed them.

Maybe when they admit thats what they did I will care about anything they might gurdgingly half admit to doing.

They did not make a mistake, they told a lie to hide the truth.

The MSM is a laughing stock. Who listens to anything they say. Anyone with 1/2 brain stopped watching/listening to them and knew this came from a lab.

When will the narrative swerve and change again, away from the “made in a lab” origin story?

Nothing is petmanently tethered in the truth for these people. Like a bee, from flower to flower, whatever suits it for the moment. Nihilism.

The fact that they’re now pushing the lab origin story may mean they’ve already objectively determined it’s not true and therefore available and fully eligible to be made the centerpiece of a full gaslighting campaign intended to scramble peoples’ minds yet further.

No, they. Lost control of the situation. Once critical mass hits, suppression, denial and ridicule are no longer effective.

Many deserve credit, Dr. Rand Paul among them.

They turn like a school of fish, with no more than a social connection to keep them in line. A school of Wells’ eloi, as it were.

There is no analytical or critical thought involved.

I’d bet money it’s from a lab. Why they are finally consenting to the truth, I don’t know. Perhaps their mission has been accomplished so keeping up the lie doesn’t matter anymore.

Disney, ATT, and Comcast made a concerted effort to deceive the public in order to place Joseph Stolen. These korporations are corrupt to the core.

ABC is Disney
CNN is ATT
NBC is Comcast

Their mission was to unseat President Trump. Acknowledging that Wuhan was the source of the virus after they told him he was racist to Asians for calling it that would have given him the moral authority to take action and look "Presidential" during the election year. It would have blown the Woodward story out of the news cycle and justified Trump's keeping it downplayed for national security reasons.
