| First - your assessment of 'omitted by CNN' isn't quite right. "yet there was nothing that CNN covered that Fox ignored. " - this is wrong. There is at any given time, thousands of 'stories' to cover. Almost by definition CNN will have covered something else that Fox didn't. All of the stories they covered are not on that chart. ... There's one level scarier and that's when neither/none of them cover something. In particular, the issue of possible lab leak and US institutional involvement in research over in China. It's kind of the biggest story of a generation, but it's complicated and almost all that will come out of it is insane populist hysteria and misrepresentations, to it's kind of ignored. It's so hot that nobody seems to want to give it really good airtime; also, it might also be because of relationship with National Security apparatus who probably have maybe told them not to talk about it, but it's hard to know. It's like one of those 'wartime' issues where most of the press closes rank a bit. The implications are just gigantic. If nobody talks about it, then it didn't happen ... kind of thing. It remains an issue for bureaucrats and academics to meander on. |
Completely agree.
>In particular, the issue of possible lab leak and US institutional involvement in research over in China.
I read the Fauci emails. The person who brought it up made it perfectly clear she thought there was an unnatural segment of DNA in the virus. Yet people were silenced in the beginning for even suggesting the possibility of a lab leak. After receiving and responding to that email he denied the lab leak possibility.
Any sane cynic who's been around long enough will assume that all the major players are working on biological weapons. It's reminiscent of the nuclear arms race with similar implications. But we can't even talk about it? Scary.
