As reporting on coronavirus lab leak theory grows, critics accuse media of suffering ‘amnesia’ on topic
"The great thing about marching in lockstep is that everybody’s doing it!
“Major media outlets spent a year demonizing the lab-leak theory as an insane conspiracy theory,” journalist Glenn Greenwald tweeted. “Fact-checkers pronounced it false … Mainstream outlets are now forced to admit its viability. Any accountability?”
Nope. No accountability.
If the press can all agree on the same narrative, then they can effectively memory-hole old, outdated narratives.
Yesterday’s conspiracy theory is today’s story worth investigating is tomorrow’s brushed-aside fact."
