With the “lab leak” theory regarding the Covid-19 outbreak having quite suddenly and out of the blue gained mainstream legitimacy following recent reports by the Wall Street Journal and other American media outlets, and Dr. Anthony Fauci quite suddenly showing himself open to the possibility of a SARS-CoV-2 escape from a bio-lab, highly complacent establishment “fact-checkers” have recently found themselves scrambling to salvage their reputations and legitimacy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Who actually lost journalistic legitimacy here?<\/strong> One of the “fact-checkers” most affected by this, and now bending his own knee, is Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post. Last year, among other things, Kessler addressed a Twitter message to Texas U.S. Senator Ted Cruz after Ted Cruz accused the Washington Post of having “lost all journalistic legitimacy” for supporting the Chinese Communist Party’s cover-up tactics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ted Cruz had accused Glenn Kessler of stirring up “propaganda” in response to a video linked by Kessler at the time, in which it was suggested that an accidental escape of SARS-CoV-2 from a bio-lab was highly “doubtful”. Kessler responded to this, again caustically at the time, as follows: “We are dealing with facts, so the public can form its own judgment in this case.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the meantime, Kessler has become considerably more meek, and now even feels compelled to chalk up his former “fact-checks”. For in the meantime, a massive shitstorm has descended on Kessler in the social media after the “fact-checking pope” of the Washington Post wrote a new report entitled “How the Wuhan lab leak theory has suddenly gained credibility” (see graphic above).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Media recognize their credibility problem<\/strong> At the beginning of the year, it became known<\/a> that trust in serious reporting by the mainstream media in the United States had sunk to a new all-time low. It could well be that these developments might seem to shake up the ladies and gentlemen in the newsrooms for once, since on May 22, a column on the Washington Post site was headlined as follows: The Media Has A Big Credibility Problem (report is behind a pay wall).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh, really? Self-awareness is the first road to recovery, as the saying goes. Not only the Washington Post and its “fact-checking pope” Glenn Kessler, but also other media outlets have been accused of unconditionally and uncritically parroting statements made last year by “luminaries” such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and the World Health Organization (WHO) about the possible origin of Covid-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Uncritical dissemination of the government narrative and denigration of critical spirits<\/strong> With reference to Nicholas Wade, persistent propaganda efforts by the Chinese Communist Party, which had suppressed the emergence and dissemination of early information about Covid-19 in Wuhan, could be observed. Nicholas Wade himself was a staff writer for the Science Times section of the New York Times between 1982 and 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chinese Communist Party Propaganda Fueled by Blindness of Western Media<\/strong> “the blindness of the American and Western media has only further fueled such a development.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The media, according to Nicholas Wade, is too polarized to look at scientific issues for their own sake. Continuous political whitewashing is simply no longer enough for many people in an information society, which is why increasing segments of the population are trying to get to the bottom of things by using a wide variety of sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Illumination of all perspectives necessary – cross-connections in view<\/strong> A rogue, who thinks evil thereby, could be perhaps also asserted, if one considers that Dr. Anthony Fauci because of its indirect financing promise in favor of function profit researches in the high security laboratory of Wuhan in these days in its homeland increasingly under pressure gets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More and more, it is becoming apparent that it is important to put the cross-links among certain players in the scientific, medical and pharmaceutical industries through their paces in order to perhaps get a better picture of what goals these individuals may actually be pursuing on the basis of the resulting findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Nicholas Wade, there is now some evidence that SARS-CoV-.2 may have escaped from a laboratory. For this reason alone, Nicholas Wade feels that the National Institute of Health (NIH) has a duty to thoroughly investigate the origin of the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did “the media” want to seek the truth?<\/strong> Meanwhile, it has also become known how Dr. Anthony Fauci saw things in 2012, when America’s “pandemic pope” argued at the time that the potential benefits and findings from gain-of-function research outweighed the risk of a virus potentially escaping from a lab in the wake of an accident and causing a global pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This has been reported on by The Australian outlet, among others. To return to Nicholas Wade, he criticizes the media for being blind and not doing their necessary research and work. Another question arises in light of this statement: did “the media” want such a thing in the first place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n U.S. investigations and Chinese propaganda machinery underway<\/strong> Last Thursday, the spokesman of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Zhao Lijian, reaffirmed his thesis, already made last year, according to which the new coronavirus originated in Fort Detrick in the US state of Maryland. According to his statement, the U.S. military would be involved in these developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Governments fire former “conspiracy theories” at each other – cover-up attempts of the fact checkers<\/strong>
Until not so long ago, the theory of a possible escape of SARS-CoV-2 from a bio-lab was still categorically ruled out by those same “fact-checkers” and labeled a “debunked conspiracy theory.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It is the now retired science editor of the New York Times, Nicholas Wade, who has entered the debate to warn of a destroyed credibility of the media due to their former Wuhan coverage. One question may be allowed at this point: How much deeper should the media’s credibility actually go downhill?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There has been little or no mainstream investigation and questioning of this issue. According to Nicholas Wade, the media has once again failed to “take off its own political-ideological glasses” to overlook circumstantial evidence and possibly emerging facts. To make matters worse, it can be said that critical minds have been made out to be school children by so-called “fact-checkers” like Glenn Kessler who are not in their right minds and spread “conspiracy theories.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the interview with Mark Levin linked above, Nicholas Wade went on to say that it was not only this fact that caused many people to lose faith, but.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is still not clear which source is responsible for the outbreak of Covid-19, says Nicholas Wade, so that this fact alone should lead to looking at and illuminating things and developments from the perspective of all possible scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A report in Britain’s Daily Mail said over the weekend that two renowned virologists had now established “unique fingerprints” from analyzed SARS-CoV-2 samples that pointed solely to the coronavirus having resulted from laboratory manipulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, while U.S. President Joe Biden has made the decision to give domestic intelligence agencies a ninety-day period to present their own findings about a possible escape of SARS-CoV-2 from a high-security laboratory in Wuhan and about the origin of the coronavirus, the Chinese leadership’s media machine is firing on all cylinders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be that as it may, all of a sudden governments around the globe are firing around their ears the thesis about an escape of SARS-CoV-2 from a high-security laboratory, which has been called a “conspiracy theory” by so-called “fact checkers” over the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
