Covid 19 and the Return of the “Lab Leak” Origin Theory, The Biden Administration Puts Out a Budget, and How Dangerous is Twitter for Reporters? Mark Hemingway Joins the Panel

Episode Summary

This week, President Biden instructed US intelligence agencies to reopen the investigation into the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic, giving new life to a theory that the virus emerged from a Chinese lab. Also, the Biden administration puts out its first budget proposal – a six trillion dollar package that includes higher taxes, more spending on social programs and infrastructure. And we look at what is happening in newsrooms across the country – reporters getting in trouble for tweets, brotherly advice between the Cuomos, and the increasingly blurry line between objective reporting, and what some call a “passion for the issues.” Tom Bevan, president and co-founder of RealClearPolitics, Carl Cannon, Washington Bureau Chief and Mark Hemingway senior writer at RealClear Investigations join moderator Andrew Walworth on today's RealClear Takeaway podcast.
