Media Suddenly Considers Virus May Have Begun in Wuhan Lab

Fox News looks at how, in the past, the media labeled anyone who dared suggest such a thing as “fringe” (Fox News). 

From Stephen Miller: Leading scientists and epidemiologists such as none other than Dr Anthony Fauci were so quick to dismiss the ‘lab talk’. It was first portrayed as a hare-brained wild and tacitly racist conspiracy theory driven by paranoid Republican senators and fever-dream right-wing media. Now it is seen as not only an acceptable theory worth more study, but one that has broken through into the mainstream. This has happened in a matter of days. Where does Sen. Tom Cotton go for his apology? (Spectator). 

From Hugh Hewitt: Some platforms covered @SenTomCotton extensively as they did the threat of the virus from December, 2019 and January, 2020, including mine. MSM dismissed threat, mocked origin, now buries record (Twitter).  

In his Washington Post column, Hewitt looks at why the public doesn’t trust the media (Washington Post).
