The receipts, they are aplenty.
You may have noticed that the media are currently in a full-court press to try to re-write the history of their coverage during the Wuhan pandemic. They got especially triggered when Trump showed a video exposing that they had downplayed the situation from the beginning. They want to now pretend that they had this called all along and they didn’t. Further, they don’t want people remembering that they’ve been parroting Chinese propaganda this whole time.
Thankfully, Drew Holden isn’t going to let them forget. He unleashed an epic thread today that will likely come in handy over the next several months.

And the thread just keeps going and going. The number of examples of the U.S. media, including the taxpayer-funded media at PBS and NPR, pushing CCP talking points is just crazy. The urge to get the orange man is just that strong.
But threads like this will ensure the record is clear. All the credit to Holden for putting it together.
