On Election Fraud, The Media Are Repeating Their Wuhan Lab Fiasco

Remember how, until just this week, anyone who suggested that COVID-19 originated in a Chinese lab was called a Trump-style conspiracy nut? Well, the mainstream media is treating election fraud the exact same way.

USA Today called the lab theory a "Myth." The New York Times called it a "Fringe theory." Others called it "Baseless." Fact-checking site Politico said the claim that COVID originated in a lab "Is inaccurate and ridiculous. We rate it Pants on Fire!".

Leftist reporter Matthew Yglesias took the time to trace how the media came to decide in lockstep that any claim of a lab leak was a lie, and concluded that the press coverage over the past year was "a huge f-up."

Even as the press grudgingly admits that it horribly mishandled the Wuhan lab leak story and in the process needlessly besmirched those who brought it up, these same outlets are playing the same game with the election fraud story.

We're told, as with the Wuhan lab story, that the experts all agree that there's no truth to election fraud claims.

The press will allow no one to make such claims without labeling them "Conspiracy mongers," or "Ridiculous," or calling any such claims "Fringe theory," "Baseless," a "Myth" or any of the other pejoratives they so assuredly hurled at those mentioning the Wuhan lab.

Of course, the lab origin theory for COVID may in the end not pan out, just election audits might not turn up evidence of massive fraud.
