Thanks to The Intercept’s investigation, we’ve got pretty compelling evidence that Anthony Fauci lied under oath when he told GOP Sen. Rand Paul that the U.S. did not fund gain-of-function research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
That one the highest officials cited by the government when it comes to COVID19 policy lied about something like that should be a massive media story.
And yet, if you rely on the MSM for coverage of what is arguably a huge scandal, you’ll come up almost entirely empty-handed:
MEDIA BLACKOUT: CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, NYT, WaPo among others have avoided the damning documents The Intercept obtained suggesting Fauci lied to Congress about NIH funding Wuhan lab researchhttps://t.co/PiflL61OHo

It’s not just a media blackout; it’s a straight-up media burial. The same MSM outlets who claim to put facts and the truth above all else, the same MSM outlets whose professed commitment is to news consumers, are actively avoiding this story like the plague.
I for one am totally surprised that the media that canonized Saint Anthony now refuse to cover FOIAd records showing his complicity in funding GoF research in Wuhan and his under oath lies to congress. https://t.co/tcemqnTsYZ

If corporate media doesn't acknowledge, did it really happen?

The MSM still in protection mode. We don't have a media anymore. What we have is a bunch of paid pundits who filter the news to fit their own party's narratives. If it doesn't fit for them it doesn't make it out to the public.

Stop calling them media. They are propagandists.

Fair enough.
