>Ex-C.D.C. Director Favors Debunked Virus Origin Theory
Basically trying to portray the ex-CDC director - a virologist - as an unhinged nutjob for saying such a thing.
After a ton of backlash, they relented and changed it from "debunked" to "unproven" and added an editor's note of "The theory is unproven, not debunked", which took a bit of the wind out of their original angle.
>What irony that in a piece pushing support for a “reality czar” (presumably to censor certain stories?) is the position of the NYT so divorced from reality itself.
Yeah, what could possibly go wrong with a Ministry of Truth?
