Simply because the MSM now embrace a conspiracy theory, doesn't give it any more credibility than it had before, which is zero.

The Wuhan lab conspiracy theory: American capitalism’s “big lie”

Statement of the World Socialist Web Site International Editorial Board
a day ago

Over the past week, the US print and broadcast media, the Biden administration and the US intelligence agencies have launched a furious propaganda campaign aimed at resurrecting the narrative that COVID-19 originated in a Chinese laboratory.

This lie defies overwhelming scientific evidence and the findings of a World Health Organization (WHO) investigation released in late March. It will go down as one of the greatest falsehoods in human history—a colossal untruth that eclipses even the Bush administration’s perjured claims about Iraq’s “weapons of mass destruction.”

There is no factual or scientific foundation for the claim that the virus originated in a Chinese laboratory.

As the WHO’s inquiry into the origins of COVID-19 made clear, countless viruses similar to COVID-19 have been identified in bats, including one, RaTG13, that is 96.2 percent similar to Sars-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

The promotion of the lab-origin theory is driven by political conditions and social interests, motivated by two interrelated purposes.

First, it aims to divert attention from the actions of the US and other governments in implementing policies that led to deaths on a massive scale.

Second, the Wuhan lab lie seeks to drum up nationalist hatred to support the Biden administration’s central strategic aim: the preparation for economic and potentially military conflict with China.

The Lab leak theory is not a lie, it has not yet been proven though. Facts do show WIV working on many Bat originating Coronaviruses. The Zoonotic hypothesis has also not been proven.

It’s best to keep an open mind and way up facts as they become proven, not believe in poorly researched media reports is a good start. Also the WHO investigators where not given full access required to make a definitive conclusion.
