The media covered the expert consensus accurately. McNeil describes his experience: Every one of his known and trusted virology/epidemiology sources was saying that it's a natural virus. And Trump intel was hollering that it was a lab leak.
The media smacked down a lot of the outlandish bad science and non-science and naked racism the right was peddling, creating a kind of reverse-halo effect around the lab leak theory.
But the mainstream press absolutely dismissed the possibility of a lab leak as a conspiracy theory. That's not hype. It was wrong and terrible journalism. Denying it because the far right is going to use it as a cudgel is to become what you say you despise....
