Fox News contributor Joe Concha on the media's failure to cover new House GOP report on Wuhan lab.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
You know that the Bat lady
doctor she was working with
Dr Peter DAS Ec and they were
working on gain of function,
research, genetically modifying,
manipulating viruses to make
them stronger, more deadly, more
contagious.
I think we need to have a
serious investigation and it
should be bipartisan,
but unfortunately the Democrats
dont seem to be very interested
in this
Steve, thats right
house, republicans demanding
answers after releasing their
report yesterday on the origins
of Covid 19.
Their bombshell findings first
obtained by Fox NEWS, makes the
most detailed case yet in
support of a lab leak.
But despite this all network
and major cable news outlets,
except us, ignored the story
here to react. Fox news,
contributor and media opinion
columnist for the hill, Joe
Concha
Joe good morning,
good morning, Steve.
How are you
Steve im doing? Okay.
Thank you very much for a busy
Tuesday.
Why is it that the mainstream
media and Democrats dont seem
to be curious about this virus
that has killed millions of
people around the world?
Well, Steve a few reasons
for one: the media doesnt cover
it because it serves as a
reminder that when they rushed
to judgment because as a
Republican like Senator Tom
Cotton, who said that this could
come from a lab that being
Covid or when President Trump
echoed the same thing, they were
portrayed as reckless conspiracy
theorists
and when you think about it.
Coming to that conclusion must
have been really hard because
there were barely any boots on
the ground. In China,
Wall Street Journal Washington,
Post New York Times all had
journalists expelled at the
onset, the very beginning of
that pandemic. So it was
impossible to verify anything or
get answers
and look finding the origins
of this virus that has killed
what four point: two million people
worldwide more than six hundred and eighteen thousand
people here,
its the most important
investigation we can do of our
lifetimes, because if we dont
learn how this happened Steve,
we are absolutely condemned to
repeat it.
Steve sure,
and you look at some of the
headlines from last year, CNN
March of last year, their
headline was lab leak. Covid 19
theory is like something out of
a comic book. Their virologist
said
Forbes may of two thousand and twenty one. No
science clearly shows that
Covid 19 wasnt leaked from a
lab and reuters of twenty twenty said
China LAB, says conspiracy
theories, hurting efforts to curb
virus
whose side are they on
laughter,
and you only have knew night.
You know space finite space
on the screen, so the dozens of
other headlines we saw from the
New York, Timeses and Washington,
post and other outlets
remember up until earlier this
summer, Facebook would suppress
censor any posts about covid
originating in a lab in Wuhan
China.
Why is that? The job of the
social media giant like that
and many in the Democrat Party
called it misinformation now
suddenly its a real
possibility?
Even democrats are conning
seeding that, even though they
wont go ahead with an
investigation
heres. The bottom line poll
after poll after poll shows
trust in media. Confidence in
media is at such a low. Here are
your bottom three entities,
your top two are small
businesses and military
yea good
at the bottom Congress at twelve percent
broadcast media at sixteen percent
newspapers at twenty three percent.
I wonder why that is Steve
Steve when I say whose side are
they on when I went to
journalism school its tell me
what tell the folks exactly
what is known,
dont put a political spin on it
to suit, for you know some
other cause
rock chalk. Jayhawk
that s all I have to say about
where you went to school,
Steve, Kansas University, its a.
