Tucker Carlson: New York Times in China's pockets, refused to investigate COVID origins

Tucker Carlson reacts to a report that showed COVID may have emerged from a Wuhan lab earlier than was originally thought, and alleged that the New York Times covered up any investigation into coronavirus origins, in part because the totalitarian regime was paying them.

Since 2016, the Chinese government paid $20 million to outlets like The Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, and The Washington Post. Twitter, which now operates as a publisher, also received checks from the Chinese government totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. These arrangements, as we said, continued for years. Then, last summer, they stopped abruptly.
