The US media is always hyperpartisan, but somehow this story really takes the cake for me. I'm basically agnostic about where covid came from, I think it's a stupid line of inquiry.
But on one hand you have multiple government agencies clearly suggesting lab leak is likely, with whatever qualifiers. And you have of course right wing news playing that up. But more insane to me is the immediate campaign in the left wing news to downplay the whole thing. It's like two completely separate stories.
Even in like Trump news from a few years ago, the general form was the same, even if the spin was different. Here we have "news" from two sides saying almost the opposite things. How can anybody possibly trust anything they read on the news?
