I don’t disagree with you, but it’s precisely the journalists job to lay bare these opacities and contradictions. What happened instead is that the lab leak hypothesis was treated as mere conspiracy theory.
Edit: your comment also ignores the involvement of the USA in the purported lab leak. That’s easier to investigate. There is no excuse for the collective behavior of journalists.

- omginternets 3y agoI suspect it’s easier not to do it. Rather than grind at an investigative journalism piece, it’s easier (and likely more beneficial to one’s career) to cultivate a network of influential persons and to churn out “exclusive quotes”. Nothing about investigative journalism is easy. I am lamenting that our journalists have no sense of duty.
