CNN has been doing a great job at parroting Chinese propaganda. As Twitchy reported, the network recently posted to its website a piece pretty much cut-and-pasted from the People’s Liberation Army’s website reporting that China’s navy has done a much better job controlling the spread of the coronavirus than the U.S. Navy. (CNN ended up totally overhauling the story the next day.)

But CNN surprised many Thursday by reporting some breaking news: China, it seems, hid critical information about the coronavirus from both its own citizens and the world.

And the wet markets are still open, wanna know why? Because they need it as cover so they can blame the market for the outbreak, and not either of the TWO labs studying viruses nearby… — James Matthew (@LittleKeesie) April 16, 2020

This certainly is some shocking new information.
