Can't believe the BBC calls a piece of political art "fake", especially when Australian soldiers murdered teenage Afghans in cold blood. Does it no longer pretend to abide by media impartiality.
Yes, I see so many reports call the image “fake” or “doctored”, making it sound like some fake news conspiracy or photoshop - but looking at the actual image, it is so clearly political art, I feel like I’m going crazy -

We've know since January. The people we first see with a virus also came from ground zero? It's not logical to state this as fact. It's purely Western propaganda. Escape from a lab is far more logical, but similarly should not be stated as fact.
