Letter to the editor: Media's manipulation

Just how dishonest and manipulative has the mainstream media become? Incredibly so, as evidenced by the recent journalistic indiscretions related to Communist China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology. When it was first proposed by Donald Trump, some in his administration and Republican Sen. Tom Cotton that the covid-19 virus had originated and was released from the Wuhan lab, the biased liberal media attacked like sharks, calling anyone who even suggested it “conspiracy theorists.”

Now, the same media seem to be slowly doing an about-face and reporting there is credible evidence to support this possibility despite the lies from the Chinese Communist Party and corrupt World Health Organization. Does the media have more information now than a year ago? I doubt it. The big difference is that last year there was an upcoming presidential election and the media refused to cover any story that might give Trump credit for anything, or shed a negative light on Joe Biden, such as his son’s extremely profitable and highly suspect dealings with the Ukraine and China, and the connection to his father.

There cannot be a “free press” as long as some in it continue to be propaganda agents for the left and Democratic Party.
