As New Evidence Emerges For COVID "Lab-Leak" Theory, Journalists Who Screamed “Conspiracy” Humiliate Themselves mtracey.substack.com/p/as-new-evide…

Some minor digging revealed that @R_H_Ebright, who was quoted widely in media reports last year as an expert authority "debunking" the lab-leak theory, is actually a strong *proponent* of the viability of the lab-leak theory! His views were grossly distorted for narrative reasons

It will definitely be up there. And it will have been primarily driven by their naked partisan desire to undermine Trump

Nothing about the question asked here is a "conspiracy theory." It's all backed up by facts. "Conspiracy theory" is just the term slapped onto inconvenient lines of questioning by lazy clickbait aggregation journalists like @atrupar

Dear @atrupar please stop spreading misinformation, it’s very dangerous

It's even more pathetic now for these journalists to continue snidely dismissing the lab-leak theory, with Trump out of the picture. What's the motive for being so impervious to new information at this point? Just petulant, toddler-like stubbornness?

Does anyone else think that if Trump's last Director of National Intelligence had said this (John Ratcliffe) instead of Joe Biden's (Avril Haines) we'd have a media meltdown over the Administration spreading hateful xenophobic misinformation? But Haines said it, and nary a peep

Honestly, this is a good point
