Is it though? You don't hear about any of the Chinese malign activities on the mainstream media outside of the lab leak theory. On most social media you get deranked or chastised for bringing them up.

- AnimalMuppet 5y agoWell, right here in the article we're discussing, we hear about Chinese hacking (from AP, which is very much mainstream media). Also today, on mainstream media, I saw an article about Chinese jet fighters and bombers encroaching (yet again) on Taiwan's airspace. So I think that, yes, you do hear about Chinese malign activities on mainstream media, and not just the lab leak theory.
- president 5y agoWell, if you took my words in good faith it should be obvious I'm not literally saying there are no other stories reported other than lab leak. Have you seen the stories of Chinese overfishing in Philippine waters? Have you seen stories of the Chinese militarization of islands in the South China sea or in the Bahamas? I've seen thousands of other stories on independent media that are not reported in the mainstream media. And maybe some of them have but they but the reporting is minimal and if you ask the average US citizen, they have no idea about any of these things. Honestly ask yourself in the last decade what percentage of world news reporting has been devoted to negative Chinese content. The answer is not much. And here I am getting downvoted for pedantry. This is what is wrong with the state of discourse online.
