With Trump Out, Media Suddenly Finds the 'Lab Leak Theory' Plausible

With Trump Out, Media Suddenly Finds the 'Lab Leak Theory' Plausible

Practically and factually, the only real difference today, versus a year ago, is that Trump is no longer in the White House, so journalists are safe to entertain competing ideas again.

This is as stark a reversal of reporting on a story of worldwide interest as there has been in decades. And it is clearly attributable to the innate need of many in the media to oppose everything Trump did or said, their practice of following each other’s narratives, and their unwillingness to be the one who breaks away from the pack.
