I’m sure they’ll appreciate that. They seem to love bats, after all.

Stopped reading with the first paragraph.
200 meters from the wet market that was falsely claimed origin in that 'bat soup' story.
Okay, I've got a question, because I'm from Poland. Were Western mass media helping the Soviets to cover up Chernobyl like that, too?
No. I was only 7 but from what my sister, mom and dad say no democrats or liberals were blaming Reagan and trying to excuse the USSR.
All the newspapers both left and right were very skeptical of the official Soviet story and numbers
Really depends on just how far left the news media was. Here in Canada, there were some now defunct publications that had strong commie sympathies that were pushing the USSR viewpoint. They didn't change their tune until the atmospheric rad numbers started being published. The politicos and whatnot weren't buying the USSR line though.
