What's more believable? The CPC state media, or the right-wing media complex that both of your articles was churned out from? From the first article: > The Daily Caller cited a senior intelligence official earlier Saturday who stated the majority view among U.S. spy agencies is that COVID-19 is natural and that it was accidentally leaked out of a Wuhan lab. The Daily Caller: "The Daily Caller is a right-wing news and opinion website based in Washington, D.C. It was founded by now Fox News host Tucker Carlson and political pundit Neil Patel in 2010." The second article references the Daily Mail. Until an official report comes out from the government, I'd be cautious with your reading of "journalism."

Fox was the one to confirm this: https://twitter.com/johnrobertsFox/status/1256576858923073539?s=20 https://twitter.com/johnrobertsFox/status/125657685892307353... Yes Fox and more so The Daily Caller are right leaning, but you're attacking the source not the substance. China runs hard labor camps, they're not on the same level of trust of even the most right-wing/liberal media sources. It seems like a very confident report, citing an exact 17 agencies. I'm sure you'll see confirmation soon. Funny that anonymous sources are attacked when it's a "right-wing" journalist. Read up on John Roberts and see if you trust him based on his previous reporting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Roberts_(journalist) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Roberts_(journalist) Remember to do this for all news sources! Pay attention to their sources, follow-up when they are anonymous.

  Yes, if you read your articles instead of just the titles they referenced John Roberts as well. Basically, they all just reference each other, almost as if they are pushing a narrative or something. There is no substance. It's an anonymous guy saying something. Misinformation is dangerous regardless of who it comes from - including China and far left or far right media. Such a confident report would likely have other sources that aren't from the right wing mill machine - but if you actually look at the other sources, they all say a completely different take, I'll let you look yourself. I'm very anti-China, especially with regards to how they run their country and treat their people. I hope that all of the world's governments, when THIS IS CONTAINED, investigate the cause. It may be that it did leak from a lab. Or it didn't. I wish our government and media would focus instead on containing it first and then figure out the cause.

    You can do both. Like I also mentioned, UK isn't ruling it out. I simply posted those sources to bring awareness to the other side to the theory, it was lacking in OP's article. One reason it was lacking is because my links are newer. I was providing developing information, we'll see if it's real, but it looks interesting. Are you arguing that we can't talk about the origin at the same time as figuring out solutions to the virus? The article is about the origin, it seems appropriate to mention these things. Interesting DHS report: https://www.sltrib.com/news/2020/05/03/intelligence-report-china/ https://www.sltrib.com/news/2020/05/03/intelligence-report-c...

> What's more believable? The CPC state media, or the right-wing media complex that both of your articles was churned out from? The right-wing media complex, hands down. Furthermore, you should be asking why a left-leaning media outlet (Washington Post) is reporting essentially the same facts, but puts an emphasis on there being "no evidence" of an accidental release. You should be asking why they aren't mentioning that the CCP had potential evidence destroyed.
