If youre going to make such a bold claim you should be able to name the person who said it.

Because exposing the identities of those whose job could be at risk for speaking to the press is how journalism works

They probably all said it together with their hands in a circle

Do you even understand what is being talked about here? The Journalist (Weijia Jiang) made an accusation that someone in the Trump administration referred to Wuhan Coronavirus as Kung-Flu to her face. Shouldnt she want to expose the person who said it? Who is she supposed to be protecting from exposing?

Just like its easy to imagine that two dudes in Trump hats beat the crap out of Jussie Smollet, put a rope around his neck, and told him this is MAGA country. Oh, but they made sure his Subway sandwich was unharmed!

Shes lying.

I mean, I've said it before.

It's helpful. Reminds people where it came from and how potent it is compared to regular flu in very few syllables.

Edit:
Why would she expose someone who gives her insight to the casual racism that's found a home in the White House? If that person gets fired then she has to find another source.

Think things through before you post bruh

Rare that I agree with anything from the Trump crowd but she absolutely had a point.

While the media is an essential part of society, this is clearly the attempt for them to create a new controversy to gain more views and attention from people. In a weird way, being shut down like that still helps them, though, since even now I'm seeing it.

That's pretty much never going to be helpful for a layperson.

That's not something anyone needs to be reminded of, nor is it readily apparent from such a name.

Don't get me wrong, I think the name is catchy and kind of funny, but don't try to pretend it serves some higher practical purpose than a fun, mildly racist joke.

It is indeed pretty easy to imagine that, which is why it was taken seriously until evidence to the contrary came out. That doesn't mean everything else that's similarly easy to imagine is a lie. Making such assumptions is exactly why Smollet's lies were so terrible and damaging.

That isnt true. I even avoided commenting on the story initially at all because it did not sound right. I challenge you to prove otherwise.

I mean, yeah, that really isn't that far-fetched. There have been plenty of instances like that in the last four years, up to and including a Trump cultist trying to mail bombs to prominent Democrats. That's why the story was believed before it got debunked.

This may not be the slam-dunk point in your favour you thought it was.

Going by your logic, I dont have to prove it. All I have to do is say its easy to imagine that you said it, and so you did.
See how this works?

I like how all of these people suddenly became "woke" once Trump was elected and started listening to these ridiculous briefings, not realizing that this sort of stupid shit was always common.

I first found Kung Flu on the internet and thought it sounded cool.

Only problem I have is that it's not even influenza.
