WATCH: Russian and Chinese state media, broadcasting in Arabic, are spreading the conspiracy that COVID-19 is an American biological weapon that started in a U.S. lab.

1. that is only fair, we said the same about them after all....

2. And we praised the US government when it made the announcement.

Could be worse--the Chinese/Russian broadcast will run into headwinds.

Iran, Turkey, and some Arab media are saying it's a Jewish plot.

Similarly laudable--I mean, that's only fair, I guess. (?)

Wrong's wrong, and should be condemned just on the facts.

3. No surprises there. It is state run media.

I remember when there were those who posted from RU all the time, swearing it was a "reliable" source. I am happy there are those who are fighting back and making sure actual facts are getting out into the Arabic-speaking world. Good on them!!

Of course, there are those also spreading the rumor this is a Jewish plot funded and produced by the Israelis. Again, so surprises there.
