As has become clear in recent weeks, the establishment media and Silicon Valley Masters of the Universe were never particularly interested in doing accurate reporting on the COVID-19 pandemic.

As I document in my new bestselling book, Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption, the press sought to turn the virus into “God’s gift to the left” (that’s Jane Fonda’s terminology, not mine), pushing a narrative that we are all victims of the Trump Virus and the former president’s supposed incompetence. The only solution, we were told, was a massive expansion of government and more corporate control over our lives. . .

[M]any of the newsrooms and tech platforms that control the vast majority of the flow of information on the pandemic have deep financial ties to China – or would like to have them one day.

Take NBC News for example. NBC News is part of the multinational conglomerate NBCComcastUniversal. Why would NBC News do a big exposé on, say, Chinese concentration camps when there is a Universal Studios in Beijing? Or why would NBC make it clear to their readers and viewers that China is the worst human rights abuser on Earth when, say, the latest movie from the Fast and Furious franchise is set to open and Universal is handling the international distribution? (Now all of a sudden actor John Cena’s groveling to the communist nation makes a lot more cents, I mean sense, doesn’t it?)

My reporting also confirms that news outlet with even a small amount of access to China are under near-constant fear of being thrown out of country, or even “disappeared.” . . .

Do you believe that any of these outlets (or politicians) were really going to dig deep to uncover the origins of the coronavirus, especially in an election year? Of course not. Because if they uncovered the truth, it just might be harmful for the businesses prospects of their bosses/benefactors. And of course, it might have helped Trump win.

I list a number of other news outlets in Breaking the News with disturbingly deep ties to China, with Bloomberg being perhaps the most shockingly intertwined. Mini Mike’s mega financial news business breathlessly reported China’s victory over COVID-19, uncritically accepting CCP propaganda on the issue, even touting China’s economy during this time, suggesting the communist nation is heading toward “world dominance.” Absurdly, China topped Bloomberg’s list of “COVID Zero havens.”

As I reported in my dramatic opening bombshell from Breaking the News, Bloomberg News’ parent company is subject to regulation by the Chinese government. Bloomberg News’s own editors repeatedly met with Chinese propagandists to discuss how to “present China to the world,” among other issues. The CCP entity that control’s Bloomberg’s access, the SCIO, is the exact same office that is responsible for the regime’s talking points. . . .

While the New York Times tried to convince their readers that China was winning the war with the virus, they desperately sought to prove Florida was losing it. They touted the mostly discredited claims of “Florida Woman” Rebekah Jones, who accused DeSantis of fudging Florida’s low virus numbers. They mocked Florida’s relatively-lax mask policies. They stoked fear that re-opening the Sunshine State would lead to a massive resurgence in the virus. They even appeared to try to keep families from enjoying Disney World. Every one of the aforementioned examples was framed in a way that suggested star Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis was mishandling the crisis, and every one turned out to be anti-science fake news.

The Times’ skewed coverage works to the benefit of our geopolitical rivals in China, but there is method to this madness, as I document in Breaking the News. After all, the New York Times Company board is comprised of many members of world’s biggest companies like Facebook, Verizon, and AIG, among others, that have present or future business interests in the Communist nation. . . .

Last week, a New York Times reporter said the “lab leak theory” had “racist origins,” even as many of her colleagues in establishment journalism have come around to the idea.

Now, we’re told that the lab leak theory “suddenly became credible.” This is a sleight of hand. The theory was always credible; it’s the coverage itself that has lacked trustworthiness. . . .

Virtually the entire news media has been compromised when it comes to China. Social media isn’t to be trusted either. While many of those Big Tech publishers are banned or heavily censored by Beijing, they would one day like to have unfettered access to the Chinese people (and all that sweet, sweet commie cash), so assume they will not do anything to compromise future business prospects.

Still, there was yet another major factor that further cut revenue to those who dared tell the true story of the Wuhan Flu: the demonetizing of pandemic content due to online activism from far-left activists. . . .

Of course, the real victims of the media’s overwhelming failure to cover the coronavirus pandemic accurately aren’t poor, innocent journalists: It’s the American citizens who were fed fake news and pro-Beijing talking points; and many of those who dared to question them were memory-holed from the social web entirely. Perhaps they lost their livelihoods.

Further dis-incentivizing reporting on the coronavirus origins was that social media platforms, especially Facebook, censored or banned information related to the Wuhan lab, even if it was accurate.

And now we learned this week . . . Fauci himself knew the “lab leak” theory was a possibility, even as he watched a mass censorship campaign unfold, keeping the public misinformed.
