CNN BOSS TOLD STAFF TO BACK OFF THE LAB LEAD THEORY
In the early days of the Covid pandemic, CNN’s then-boss Jeff Zucker ordered his network’s staff to back off the Covid lab leak theory because it was a “Trump talking point”, according to a ‘well-placed’ source inside CNN. The source told Fox News Digital:
“People are [now] slowly waking up from the fog. It is kind of crazy that we didn’t chase it harder.”
The lab leak theory is the idea that the Covid-19 virus was man-made and escaped the Wuhan Institute of Virology, intentionally or unintentionally.
At the time, then-President Trump was promoting the lab leak theory, while cable news outlets like CNN and government health officials called it a “conspiracy theory” and claimed the virus must be a result of “natural transmission” from animals to humans.
CNN staff definitely got the message from their boss. Fox News Digital did a deep dive into some of the reporting the network did to dispel the “Trump talking point.”
Here are a few examples:
March 2020: CNN anchor Fareed Zakaria claimed “the far right has now found its own virus conspiracy theory”
April 2020: A CNN headline reads: “Nearly 30 percent in the US believe a coronavirus theory that’s almost certainly not true” and reported, “Its origin is up for debate, but it wasn’t made in a lab.”
May 2020: A CNN hack writer who was fired along with Zucker in 2022 wrote: “Anthony Fauci just crushed Donald Trump’s theory on the origins of the coronavirus.”
…I could have listed 100 examples.
While we’ve championed the lab leak theory since the beginning, over the past month it’s gained more credibility with both the FBI and the U.S. Department of Energy making it their official position.
