Fact is: it did not. There was a strong body at the time that a lab leak was a real possibility. In fact, we now have evidence that information and opinions were manipulated to discredit lab leak hypothesis.
But was the MSM (a/k/a, the guardians of freedom) the least bit curious? No. They brought the disinformation story hook, line & sinker and ran with it. The “experts” that the MSM outlets (like CNN) put on the air openly mocked the idea. Fauci said it didn’t happen despite what we now know about him towing the narrative for others.
But the critical part of the problem isn’t that they got the story wrong. It’s that there was ABSOLUTELY ZERO journalist curiosity at the time about the origin. Why? Simple: Trump said it came from the Wuhan lab so that now cannot be what happened.
We have all witnessed this same “M.O.” with the Russian Dossier and the Hunter Biden laptop. The MSM didn’t get these stories wrong - they actively engaged in willful blindness that involved covering up the truth - something they are still engaged in to this very day. They never ever entertained the thought that the story may have more and different facts and truly investigated that angle - not once.
But now that Biden’s president, they can try and use this opportunity to “un-spin” the cover-up in the vain attempt to regain an semblance of integrity they wrongly perceive they have left.
But people are too smart - they can smell a rat in the woodpile. Accountability is not defined as simply taken action AFTER you’ve been caught red handed - like CNN - it involves making sure it doesn’t happen again, but for the MSM (and CNN and MSNBC in particular) that would be way too hard a job to really address.
So expect more “fake news” and more disinformation…and certainly more puff piece about how proactive and accountable the MSM is in doing their job.
You mean the meeting looking for op-research on Clinton that went nowhere? Or the offhand "request" Trump made for her deleted 30k emails? LOL. I'm more concerned that the Steele Dossier was spun out of whole cloth and used by the FBI and the CIA to justify spying on an opposition presidential campaign and US citizens. They question is: why aren't you?
You probably still believe that Trump took Russian golden showers. Right?
No. I mean the meeting Manafort had with a Russian agent. I mean the multiple meetings Papadopoulos had with a suspected Russian agent who has since disappeared, after which he bragged about having Clinton's emails more than a month before the DNC hacking was reported in the media. I mean Trump's obfuscation about that the DNC hacking was anyone *but* Russia when he had already been briefed by multiple intelligence agencies.
I mean the Trump campaign failing to report to the FBI contacts with Russian nationals after specifically being asked to do that in a briefing for both major party candidates.
I mean Trump's successfully obstructing justice by pardoning Manafort and commuting Stone's sentence in exchange for their silence.
I'm not a Trump guy, so I'm not going to defend him, but none of this has been proven to be anything other than hysteria whipped up by a hostile leftist media.
Where are the outcomes of the collusion? Where are the facts on the ground that support outcomes of a nefarious nature driven by collusion? I don't see it - and I'm happy to acknowledge facts as facts.
The stuff I mentioned above is real, and was uncovered by credible prosecutors. The FBI and their justice department conspirators actually lied about Carter Page not being a CIA informant so they could continue to spy on him to be able to try to get at Trump. That's a real problem bro...and there was no justification for it. Just say the words - and you'll have more credibility in this discussion.

It's almost as if lying thousands of times as president makes people less inclined to believe you.
Russian collusion happened, btw.
You’re exactly right on Russian collusion which further proves my point…
Russian collusion happened between the Democrats and Russia with the MSM running “cover” for the Deep State, the Clintons and the DNC..
Shameful…
Paid $10 million for a bunch of lies and these people want to run the country?
