” it’s still unclear”
That, is a deliberate lie.
Dead right.
If it’s “unclear” at this point in time, it’s because somebody wants it that way.
Really hate that word in news stories. Anything with a passive voice, or a 1984 doublespeak stripe to it, just sticks out in contexts like this, and flat out says: “I am lying.”
Yeah, no. Everybody knows it was cooked up in a lab. But they insist on denying this, for whatever reason. And it doesn’t matter at one level why.
Something has to be done, something is going to break, because there is no trust in these outlets, and credibility and integrity is their stock in trade.
On another forum someone wrote this long screed about how the AP and Reuters are absolutely the only news outlet that can be trusted, and they don’t have any bias at all. Really drinking the bongwater that guy, maybe he works for them I dunno.
It’s really curious, how some people will absolutely deny something even when shown proof, even something fairly innocuous or common knowledge. Leftists most certainly live in a very tight bubble. Denying reality has to come out in really weird ways. I’m no psychologist, but probably aggression, and inappropriate behaviour, improbable fantasies, and plotting revenge on enemies. You know, standard leftist tactics.
Hm.
