Pretty sure you can’t guarantee that…

The actual article doesn’t reflect the headline…

Readers don’t learn until the end of the third paragraph that the Energy Dept holds a minority view, and in the fifth paragraph that its conclusion is rated “low confidence”

How does that match up with the WSJ headline announcing that Covid “most likely” came from a lab leak?

To be clear, I’m not ‘against’ the lab leak theory — I’m for sticking to the known facts (and not distorting them in headlines or social media posts) while investigation of the pandemic continues.
