We reported last week about how desperate many in the media were to avoid giving credit to former President Trump and other prominent Republicans who speculated on the issue of a possible Wuhan coronavirus lab leak a number of times last year but who were repeatedly dismissed as wacko conspiracy theorists by our intellectual betters on the left and in the MSM (but I repeat myself).
The theory, which others in the media recently admitted was downplayed at the time primarily because it was Republicans arguing the point, is now being treated as credible by leftists, reporters, and social media platforms who want people to all of a sudden believe they were on the right side of the issue the whole time if only they’d been able to connect the dots.

For a mainstream media still coming to terms with the fact that they’ve had to completely reverse course on their year-long “reporting” on how the Wuhan lab leak theory was supposedly nothing more than baseless GOP conspiracy-mongering straight out of Wackoville, old habits die hard.
There is no better example of this at this stage of the game than Associated Press White House reporter Jonathan Lemire, who went on Morning Joe’s program earlier today and promptly reminded us all over again about how there are some (many) in the media who have no interest whatsoever in learning from past mistakes.
