This is the same organ that, at the time, ignored reports of dozens of concentration camps slaughtering the Jews of Europe. When the opportunity came to save the lives of Jews on the S.S. St Louis, an ambivalent FDR punted.  I can't help but think had the Times given the Holocaust the coverage required, pressure from the public would have forced FDR to dock the ship. 

If you believe as I do that the media has a choke hold on white liberal politicians, then we might agree that what appears in the Times and Post will have enormous influence on Biden's decision-making when the origins of Covid report is made public.

I recall it was Taiwan that first alerted the planet that the bat virus can be transmitted from human to human (proof that it was a human construct).  Begs the Question:  Does the Times hold that claims made by the Taiwanese are, too, fundamentally RACIST?
