I just don’t understand this.
There’s no young hungry journalist out there willing to break a unprecedented story to make a name? Are they all that willing to follow the narrative from the top? Or is there work suppressed if it doesn’t fit the narrative?
As a recent example, Ronan Farrow had to leave NBC and go to the New Yorker to get his story on Harvey Weinstein published. And while Harv was well enough connected to get some support on suppressing stories about him, he's certainly not as well connected as the CCP.

Editors will spike stories like this, give the reporter the shittiest assignments, etc., until said reporter sees the light.

I again ask this question - what do they expect to come from the revelations? China is not going to be held accountable and no-one in this world is going to attempt to hold them accountable. no-one is brave enough to stand up to China, so getting it out there, and getting it proven is simply a "aha - told you so", but nothing really more than that.
sure it will be condemned, but it is hollow words.

Suppression has to be the culprit. There’s no way to make tens of thousands of participants toe the line in exactly the same manner with no exceptions.
So these are editorial decisions by a smaller group.
You're right.
A journalist who isn't willing to be a propagandist won't stay employed. You either have to be too stupid to question anything (Blitzer and Fredo) or a pathological liar (Anderson Cooper and Erin Burnett).

Why all the detective work? Trump told us what happened before the election.
But the media was do anti Trump, if he did toddy was Thursday they would tell us it’s Friday.

There are, but they are immediately attacked and "discredited" as "extremists" or "racists."
Look up Mike Cernovich. Without his investigative work, Epstein never wouldve been caught. His reward for his efforts?
Labelled the "Pizzagate guy." There's some meat to that story too, BTW. He learned the hard way that you don't investigate the media crowned President elect and her top advisor during a Presidential election cycle. But his related work on Epstein just wouldnt go away so the media was forced to cover it and after the obvious murder ("suicide") of Epstein, it's pretty much never mentioned again.
Andy Ngo has been posting videos of violent Antifa riots in the Pacific Northwest for the better part of a decade. He's also been brutally beaten by antifa thugs in said riots. Newsmedia calls him a racist and extremist, while Joe biden calls antifa an idea.
Lesson to be learned by any journalist who dares go against the Pravda messaging? Obey and report what you are supposed to or you will be attacked and turned into an enemy of the public.
It is also helpful to the propaganda industry that college journalism programs only churn out obedient, like-minded sheep, dedicated to The Party
ETA: The suppressed evidence for election shenanigans and the spinning of some very concerning events on those days in November will become a much bigger issue in the future. The January riot was a gift given to the authorities and propaganda peddlers bc anyone who questions the official Partyline story will be branded an "extremist."

I don't believe journalists can get anything printed without Editor and Management approving.

One of the biggest problems is that the Wuhan lab was supposed to be managed and inspected by WHO. It isn't unlike many other such labs across the globe. Unfortunately, WHO being a lapdog for the CCP of late pretty much means that lab was able to do whatever it wanted without fear of being shut down.

bullshite. Nicholas Wade is as mainstream as they come. He did all the heavy lifting in writing his story. It was his story that moved the entire conversation forward.
Baker wrote a great story in Jan. in New York Magazine as well.
They sourced their articles. Most of the current debate over lab leaks and Fauci rest upon their works.

And if we let the Japanese finish the job in WW2, they would have waged biological warfare on us. Look up "Operation Cherry Blossoms at Night"

Or if the Germans didn't breach their pact with the Russians and focused on defeating the West first. Scary thought.

That's why Krystal and Saagar went independent. They got tired of editors interference from DNC/GOPe hacks. They're launching an independent pocast called Breaking Points.

Screw those lying assholes from the Left. All because they had to win an election in 2020 at any cost.

I honestly think, throughout my entire life, have ever loathed something so much.
I just don’t understand how the media is still a thing. If there were a person in your life that did nothing but lie to your face every single day, how long would you keep them around? How much would you continue to listen to them and keep running with what they tell you? It’s mind boggling.

I, personally, blame social media and the "Read only the headline" mentality it has fostered.
It became evident our media had been rendered entirely useless when to a person they all refused to ask the obvious, difficult questions at the daily Covid briefings held across the country. Out of all the outlets around the US, only a handful even attempted to get answers. They all sat there on their Zoom calls, or six feet apart in person, and gobbled up the info fed to them, then printed it without question. They all seemed content to ignore the obvious discrepancies and clear signs that these people didn't have a fricking clue, probably out of fear of being cut out of the loop. That is not their job. That is not what they are meant to be.
