It’s not an accident that most Americans are just starting to hear about the lab leak theory of COVID-19 origin as a potential legitimate source for the global pandemic’s outbreak. It’s because the theory was suppressed for more than a year by corporate media fact-checkers and their allies in Big Tech.The pages of The New York Times and The Washington Post have been filled with articles in recent weeks about the newfound potential legitimacy of the lab-leak theory. The theory posits that COVID-19 was accidentally released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, potentially after being genetically engineered as a part of “gain-of-function” research.Evidence for the lab-leak theory has

Pretty weird to hire the guy who promoted and funded the bio weapon to tell us that it never happened.
Was Susan Rice unavailable?

Anything thing with "fact check" attached is assumed to be a lie, in my mind.

The reason is pretty simple. At the time China released the virus, President Trump had them against the ropes. They needed time to regroup and 'regime change' in America that would enable them to regain power. Now that Biden is in the White House there is no need for enablers to continue to suppress the truth. China is asserting world dominance and they are assured that, even if it is proven beyond doubt that China was massively negligent, or that they purposely launched a bioweapon attack, the weakling in the White House will do nothing.

"PolitiFact," an imprint of the Tampa Bay Times (formerly the St. Petersburg Times) is never, ever to be trusted. Completely poisoned by leftist politics, their "fact checkers" are dedicated to the Narrative. That they even have the gall to call themselves impartial is Orwellian. Paid liars is all they will ever be, doing service to their god below.

I appreciate the work these fact checkers do. They are useful idiots for the left, and if I want to know the truth, I can just invert what they say. It makes it easy. Plus, whatever they are "checking" is clearly something the Marxists are worried about since they took the time to try and cover it up.
Also, the author states, “From the start, the press mostly mishandled [COVID]-19 reporting." No surprise there. The Luciferian press has misreported every major story since the Vietnam war. What Hanoi Jane and Swift-boat Kerry did at the time was treasonous. Somebody needs to go back and fact check them.

There's no way that a lefty or lefty organization should be a fact checker. Democrats and such fact checkers are a cancer on our society. In fact, the world society.

Americans are clever people....WE started to question the origin of the virus from wuhan long before the media filtered some of the facts....china didn't count on Americans picking up the truth and questioning fauci's connection to the Chinese lab....a perfect example of American ingenuity was the appearance of home made masks...when china cornered the market on surgical masks... Americans made their own.. in all colors and designs...it was heart warming to watch the explosion of compliance according to OUR standards...no wonder china has been stealing information from US... WE are the geniuses ....

A year ago to even say out loud that this was man made, not from a wet market, was kept to one’s self. Now we learn that the U.S.’s own Fauci is a “gain of function” guy who supported that research back in 2012. Then we deemed this kind of research too dangerous and banned it. So Fauci surreptitiously uses a loophole and gives funds to Wuhan lab to continue gain of function research on corona virus specifically from bats.
So, is it too big a leap to posit that people within our own government, the deep state characters,whoever, released this on their own people for political reasons? I don’t think that thought is beyond the pale at all, especially with the verbal dancing Fauci attempts. Many people, including top political figures (who I have no doubt were aware) need to lose jobs over this, at the very minimum. Has anyone noticed that the top Democrat politicians never got Covid? Was there already a vaccine available for some once the virus “escaped”? They shut this country down which made things worse. They are not good leaders. Fauci should be fired as well as others.

Dr. Tim Noel, in an article posted yesterday, pointed out something really important..
The PCR test does not exist for diagnostic purposes - that if the test lab over-amplifies the stuff, everyone will be positive for Kung Flu.
I don't know how many actual cases we had in the U.S., given that fact.

I read international news sites, not tabloids like Dailymail, and bsck in February 2020 the India and Australia articles had the genome of the engineered virus. True or not? Probably true as even those articles were censored but as more attacks are waged in the Himalayas and embargos placed on Aussie agriculture they are wising up that silence got them nowhere. Maybe they will get reparations for murdering people and their economies.

Like I always say when a thread says something about Fact Checkers:
These days, any person or group who calls themselves "Fact Checkers" are not interested in presenting the truth, but are "checking" the facts:
as in the second definition of verb (used with object):
2: to restrain; hold in restraint or control.

Don't kid yourself; the facts behind the cover pandemic aren't "coming out"--they were intentionally let out and nothing will be done about it,
Yes, Covid was created in a lab in Wuhan, but it was INTENTIONALLY released on the world by the ChiComs. Chairman Xi was getting his butt kicked by Trump and his tariffs and China's economy was taking a huge hit, civil unrest was increasing, and the Chinese Communist Party was starting to turn on Xi, who feared he would be replaced. The Corona virus disrupted the world, and the only country that gained from it was China. So what if several hundred thousand Chinese died; life is cheap. Why do you think travel from Wuhan to other parts of China was banned, but international travel from Wuhan was actually encouraged?
And I have no doubt that the Democrats, working with China and Dominion to steal the election were in on this scheme. It was amazing how the policies and rules for the voting rules as well as the pandemic shutdown were so consistent between the blue state governors. Almost as though it was scripted.
No, the fact that the virus was created in Wuhan and Fauci was connected didn't just "leak out." It was ALLOWED to be released. Like a dam overflowing with floodwater, the spillway was opened to release some of the pressure to protect the dam. Likewise, the truth behind the Corona virus and the 2020 Election was just too large, and some little truths had to be allowed to come out, in hopes that the total truth will stay hidden.
Yes, I accuse the Democrat leadership of treason and consorting with the enemy, China.

Blame the Democrats if you think this was aimed at Trump. I would suggest that, if true, it was a UNIPARTY production. I don't recall McConnell or McCarthy getting the flu, either. And "both" political parties wanted PDT gone ASAP. I don't quite buy that it was released purposefully, but things sure were quickly arranged to make the most of it however one slices it. It was BIG MONEY and BIG POWER was ceded by the freedom loving American public. One wonders then when the next one will roll out.

Please pardon second post. But, I'll also add that anyone like me who felt compelled to already receive the experimental vaccine should realize that these were placebo shots. These will provide no therapeutic benefit for you. However, the so-called booster shorts will contain the engineered mRNA materials that will achieve the de-population goals under the Great Reset. Do not receive the "boosters".

Zero Hedge site published copies of a technical report in Feb 2020 which showed that the Wuhan Institute of Virology had been doing work on these viruses. THAT was, IMO, conclusive that this was a 'lab leak'.
Of course, it wasn't until later that their "and then a miracle occurred" lie was uncovered. Originally they were mumbling and hand-waving about "and then it jumped from bats to people", "maybe it was the pangolin's fault" and they tossed out all sorts of what they knew were absolute lies about how the virus gained the capability to infect humans. And the lying "fact checkers" shut down all discussion other than the fraudulent "wet market" lie.
The virus gained the capability to infect humans because Dr. Fraud PAID these Dr. Frankenstein clones to give it the capability to infect humans. It was done intentionally. And how can that be anything but malicious?
Once again I ask. How is "gain of function research" different from "developing a bioweapon", other than the spelling?
It is now clear that these people, funded by Dr. Fauci with tax dollars, developed a deadly bioweapon and it was unleashed on humanity, killing large numbers of people, and destroying whole economies.
Now we ask, "Cui bono"? This is Latin for "Who benefits?" Well, the anti-Turmp folks benefited, and Dr. Fraud is a key one of those, and gee, he paid for the research, and effectively ordered it done. Malicious? Seems likely. And China benefited, huge devastation to the US economy. And the Democrats and totalitarians benefited politically.
People should be in prison.

What I find interesting is the 180 degree sudden reversal across the board on reporting of the issue. First it was suppression of the idea because it was only held by insane Trump followers. Suddenly it is reported in the Washington Post and now can be stated on Facebook. The hand behind the curtain has reversed the levers.

Fact checkers check facts the same way hundreds of hockey players tried to "check" Wayne Gretzky.

The FACT is that the MSM has a horrendous case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Because President Trump raised the possibility, in their minds, it could not possibly be true. They ran around with their hair on fire proclaiming it to be a racist conspiracy theory. Instead of taking a minute check the possibility that this was true, they tried to outdo one another in slandering President Trump.
Most of the MSM have proven that they inbred, brain-dead propagandists who will eagerly print any lie that fits their agenda.

Maybe because the so-called “fact checkers” were on board from the get-go with the leftist and liberal Democrat propaganda machine that was on a mission to push the fraudulent idea that by blaming the COVID-19 virus on Communist China that Trump was showing the world that he was nothing more than a racist and a “White Supremacist”by discriminating against and by blaming Communist China.
