Apparently MSNBC no longer thinks it's problematic to doubt China's coronavirus statistics now that Adam Schiff's doing it

The examples of the media rushing to spin on behalf of China or to just automatically believe claims that regime has made in regards to the coronavirus in order to report that the U.S. leads the world in infections are almost countless.

Will the media spin cease now that even Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff said he doesn’t believe the numbers reported by China? The comments came as Schiff was outlining hearings that will no doubt be more tired “impeachment”-focused proceedings:

House Intel Chairman doesn’t believe China’s death rate statistics https://t.co/VJyGWpPW4F

We’re guessing many reporters and anchors aren’t self-aware enough to realize that what Schiff said would mean their previous breathless reports about the U.S. surpassing China in the number of cases are completely bogus.

But your employer @msnbc does! https://t.co/WCVncI4gNh pic.twitter.com/2HCq4TjGFN

Shorter MSNBC: What the media’s been reporting isn’t true but we’re going to pretend not to recognize that.

I'm so old I remember when this was the stuff of racist conspiracy theories. I guess it's ok now. https://t.co/esKYk9jcFg
