According to a report from The New York Post, ex-CNN boss Jeff Zucker told his staff not to investigate the COVID-19 lab leak theory during the early days of the pandemic; he said it was a “Trump talking point.”
From The New York Post:
A “well-placed” CNN insider told Fox News Digital on Monday that Zucker gave the order in the early months of the coronavirus pandemic.
“People are slowly waking up from the fog,” the insider told Fox News Digital.
“It is kind of crazy that we didn’t chase it harder.”
Mainstream news organizations including CNN, The New York Times, MSNBC, and others have been pilloried in recent days following a recent government report which concluded that an accidental leak from a Chinese laboratory is the most likely explanation for the COVID outbreak.
In the initial weeks and months of the pandemic, prominent media personalities, public health officials, and elected officials from the Democratic Party dismissed the “lab leak” theory as “debunked” — with some suggesting it was racist to even discuss the topic.
