1. The problem is that the idea that everyone is entitled to their opinion

has, over time, become a whole different thing. The Wuhan Lab opinion you noted is a great example. It's basically now "My opinion is this fact. Under the cover of an opinion, one can now choose their own alternate facts! That's not opinion, that's bullshit.

And this evolution that has been allowed, even encouraged by ratings-chasing media, has been taken advantage of by tRump and his minions for the last six years.
