Lets put that "The Media didn't lie" quote to rest. So....either the Media is incompetent or they are lying. Both can be true. Especially when one wants to keep their cushy Journalism Job by not asking too many questions. And even when legitimate questions where asked and legitimate people had some push back.....guess what.....they do EXACTLY what you just stated above. They lumped that inconvenient Narrative busting information as "conspiracy theory" so those exerts would get the Alex Jones treatment even when those legitimate sources where coming form Oxford, Harvard, and Standford. Yeah....that all happened. Then it takes a Culture Icon like John Steward to say the quite part out loud so that maybe...just maybe some actual common sense gets mainstreamed. Even then....it took another what 6 months for official sources to slowly make the common sense thing more official without out right saying 100% it's true. My question is why do you believe so thoroughly that you weren't be manipulated the whole time? You now say you are coming around to the lab leak theory......are you willing to listen to those of us who probably in most likely hood were correct? Whats the definition of insanity? To be clear Alex Jones is a nut job.....and just because you throw poo at the wall and something finally sticks doesn't make you a prophet.
That's not unreasonable. Journalism today is largely devoid of traditional ethics. $ and agenda probably are the highest priorities, in that order (note that CNN has toned down their rhetoric significantly due to plummeting ratings in the post-Donald era).
