Our media is simply disgusting. Tom Cotton wants to ask the question of where COVID19 came from, and the media went apeshit in defending China. Why do they defend China? What is their interest in protecting the totalitarian genociders, outside of their common ideologic leanings?

WaPo claims it was "already debunked". How could even have done that? You don't have access to the informatin required to know that. Only China has that information. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/02/16/tom-cotton-coronavirus-conspiracy/ The WaPo is fucking straight up lying.

Does the Lancet publish consipiracy theories? I don't think so. A report stated there was no connection between the index case and the mear market. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30183-5/fulltext
Why can't you ask the question? Would it be so hard to believe? Why does the media protect the powerful, they were supposed to defend the people against the powerful entities which abuse the people. That was their job.
No, it probably wasn't the Wuhan Institute of Virology, but it's entirely reasonable to point out that the coincidence is more than a few sigmas from the mean. China deserves ZERO benefit of the doubt, but the corporate media cover for the ChiComs because why? Because Tom Cotton is Republican? WTF?
Corporate media protecting corporate interests. Disgusting.
