We live in an age of propaganda.

I'm going to show you another example here today.

And this one, it's from the New York Times,

and it concerns the so-called natural origin of SARS-CoV-2,

the virus that caused COVID.

Come on, let's go take a look.

Hello, hello, hello, everyone.

Dr. Chris Martinson here with another episode for you, today, episode 53.

And this one's around lying media.

Look, we live in an age of misinformation, disinformation, all of these things. And here's what bothers me as a scientist,

as a astute observer, as somebody who pays pretty close attention, as somebody who uses common sense. What I see is the tools being used against people like myself to censor, to shadow ban, to slow down the message, being used against people like myself to sensor, to shadow ban, to slow down the

message, being used against all kinds of people, are with these finger pointings around these

things called misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, each with a slightly different definition.

But the point is that the people levying the charges are

quite often the most significant purveyors of those same things.

So the New York Times, big, big believer in the trusted news initiative and making sure

that things are fact-checked and wanting to be the paper of record.

But again, this is the newspaper that delivered the aluminum-tubed fiasco that helped lie the United States into the Iraq War,

causing lots and lots of destruction and death and things like that. And so I'm always a little

bit suspicious when I, New York Times has been on probation with me ever since that point in time.

You lie to me once in a big way like that,

and it's very hard to get that trust all the way back
