And the left still think the NY Times and others are str8 shooters and Fox is the only biased source out there.
Unfortunately the Times and others also have an agenda to sell or in this case HIDE.
"A top editor at the New York Times instructed Times staffers not to investigate the origins of COVID-19, two Times employees confirmed today.
'In early 2020,' a veteran Times employee tells me, 'I suggested to a senior editor at the paper that we investigate the origins of COVID-19.
I was told it was dangerous to run a piece about the origins of the coronavirus. There was resistance to running anything that could suggest that [COVID-19 was manmade or had leaked accidentally from a lab].'"
"In November 2019,
it emerged that China Daily had failed to disclose to federal authorities millions of dollars in payments to US outlets including the Times and the Washington Post. In August 2020, the Times quietly scrubbed the China-funded advertorials from its website. Still, in October 2020, the Times ran an op-ed by Regina Ip, a member of Hong Kong's Executive Council, justifying the repression of anti-government protests in the Hong Kong SAR."

"As someone who has spent years researching the history of the Times, I was struck by the paper's markedly pro-China bent at the start of the pandemic. It opposed Trump's travel ban to and from China as "isolationist". It all but ignored the unparalleled success of China's arch-enemy, Taiwan, in containing the virus. It downplayed China's economic war against Australia, whose prime minister early on questioned the CCP story on the pandemic's origins.
And it celebrated China's success in battling Covid-19, taking the CCP's absurd mortality numbers at face value, reporting in August 2020 that 4,634 Chinese people died from the virus and, six months later, that there were 4,636 total deaths. That in a country of 1.4 billion people only two people died of Covid-19 in the half a year defies logic and common sense. Still, the Times legitimised the CCP numbers by printing them as hard fact."
"The Times,
which used Daszak as a key source in over a dozen articles, has never mentioned that Daszak's organisation funded the Wuhan lab, in particular research into bats and coronaviruses, a flagrant conflict of interest. Crucially, there was no mention of this when a reporter interviewed Daszak this February, following his return from a heavily criticised WHO investigation into the virus's origins. (Danszak later recused himself from the investigation because of the conflict of interest.)
But the Times
also never revealed that Daszak was a favoured source for another outlet: China Daily. The state-owned media organisation, along with Xinhua and sister outlet Global Times, repeatedly quoted Daszak to assure readers of China's full cooperation in the search for the virus�s origins -- and to discredit the possibility of a lab leak."
Were commercial relationships with China a factor?
