Corporate Media's Hate for Trump Caused Them to Ignore the Story of the Century
Townhall.com ^ | June 4, 2021 | Rick Manning

The corporate media’s rolling admission that they missed the biggest story of the century, the likely Wuhan, China lab origin of COVID-19, is proof that Americans have been fed a steady diet of lies and spin from media whose financial interests lie more in China than in the United States.

Needless to say, the establishment media has abandoned any pretense of journalism long ago, and ABC White House correspondent Jon Karl admits as much when talking about the lab origin story saying, “I think a lot of people have egg on their face. This was an idea first put forward by Mike Pompeo… Donald Trump.”

“And look, some things may be true even if Donald Trump said them,” he continued.

This latest case of journalistic malpractice may finally destroy the illusion that these partisan news readers and left-wing note takers are anything more than the fake journalists who wrote for Pravda before the fall of the Soviet Union.

The China lab story may somehow be worse than even their multiple attempts to either take down Trump or prop up Biden, because it effectively has allowed the Chinese Communist Party to escape culpability for the deaths of millions while accomplishing the shared mission of helping to end the Trump presidency.

And reporters and news outlets had to know that there was an honest possibility that the virus was human-made in a laboratory in Wuhan in early May of 2020, when Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared on ABC News’ “This Week” on Sunday, “There’s enormous evidence that that’s where this began. We’ve said from the beginning that this was a virus that originated in Wuhan. China has a history of infecting the world, and they have a history of running substandard laboratories. These are not the first times that we’ve had a world exposed to viruses as a result of failures in a Chinese lab.”

Pretty direct and straightforward, yet not only did the heavily Chinese-connected establishment media ignore this earth-shattering declaration, their Silicon Valley cohorts actively censored the idea as fake news using a Dr. Anthony Fauci press conference where, using research he convinced a skeptical virologist to write, he pronounced that the virus was naturally occurring.

Today, Fauci along with a Biden administration that ended a six-month long State Department study into the virus’ origins in March of 2021, is now calling for a new investigation as Fauci now believes that we have to keep an “open mind” about the virus origins.

White House senior adviser Andy Slavitt called finding the origin of the virus that has killed a reported three and half million people worldwide a "critical priority."

Slavitt continued saying, "We need to get to the bottom of this and we need a completely transparent process from China. We need the WHO to assist in that matter. We don't feel like we have that now. We need to get to the bottom of this, whatever the answer may be."

Bloomberg News has also weighed in with an article headlined, “Find Covid Origin or Face Another Pandemic, U.S. Experts Warn.”

Thirteen months have been lost in this race to find the truth about the origin of the virus to prevent another pandemic.

Three months after the Biden administration shuttered a secret investigation attempting to get to the bottom of this issue for national security reasons, it is now a “critical priority.”

How many people died due to the failure to aggressively force the Chinese to be transparent about their activities in their Wuhan Labs? How many more will die due to this abject failure driven by a self-serving public health bureaucrat who claims that he “trusts” the Chinese scientists?

And now watch the media spin to make the Biden effort to confront the Chinese as heroic with the goal to ultimately once again declare against all logic that the virus which emerged in a city with a Chinese government run lab designed to study these exact viruses occurred naturally and just randomly first presented itself in the city of Wuhan.

If Biden wants any credibility on this moving forward, the first step must be to remove Fauci, who either knew or should have known the origins of the virus allowing the Chinese to conduct what Rep. Mike McCaul has called, “the worse cover up in human history.”

The second will be to protect America’s intellectual property, particularly our COVID-related intellectual property so that those who most likely developed this murderous bug don’t have access to the keys on how to prevent and kill it.

It is time for the corporate media and the Biden administration to take COVID virus and its dangerous likely origins seriously. Tragically, if the corporate media had put the world’s health interests ahead of their Trump Derangement Syndrome, this puzzle might have already been solved and the world would be a much safer place.

That could be said for a lot of other stories they ignored or continue to choose to ignore.

It’s not so much the lies the media tells, it’s the truth they don’t tell.

Simple and straight-forward. Not one person could argue with anything that Mike Pompeo said.

Yet the duplicitous Media immediately slandered that simple statement as "a lie"

Big Media has NO credibility anymore

We'd probably all be better-off by believing the OPPOSITE of whatever Big Media tells us now

Same with the GOP. Senate in particular. It’s not so much what they did to help a GOP POTUS. It’w what they don’t do that was so damaging. On the Mueller coup, stolen election, Chicom flu, etc.

“Find Covid Origin or Face Another Pandemic, U.S. Experts Warn.”

Seriously? You think proving it came from a Chinese lab is going to stop them from causing another?

They didn't "miss" it, they intentionally ignored it. The "media" referred-to here is almost entirely populated by and controlled by leftists and their supporters. They intentionally institutionally ignored the story so as not to damage their ally China. After all, at that time President Trump was winning and China was taking it on the chin. (pun intended)

Now with ever more evidence coming out "the story" cannot be ignored. Well, I guess it could be but rather than try to ignore it they are now going to try to spin it and frame it in the least damaging way. Besides, China now has their Chia pet installed in the Oval Office. (when he can find it)

“Big Media has NO credibility anymore

I learned a lot about this up close and personal back in the mid to late 1990s with the Chretien Liberal government’s long gun registry. I was on former MP Garry Breitkreuz’s mailing list and the work he and the late Dennis Young did to expose the boondoggle that it was was basically ignored by the Toronto and Ottawa and Montreal and Vancouver media cabal until it all became so shockingly obvious.

The gutter media also covered up the nursing home massacres in New York, New Jersey, Michigan, etc. Along with being tragedies in themselves, the massacres exploded the spread of the disease throughout the USA.
