  1. I used only articles that are indexed by Google News.
  2. I tried to avoid overtly far-right political sources (e.g., Breitbart, Epoch Times). Many of these sources have biases, typically right-wing, but I tried to qualify those that are "mainstream".
  3. I assessed and included articles that were supportive, deferential, or uncritical to a lab origin hypothesis. This typically meant: a. A headline that would read as evidence for a lab origin by itself b. Articles that repeated political claims about a lab origin that are not supported by any data. c. Articles that included known factual misconceptions or inaccuracies. d. Articles that included highly misleading content used to support a lab origin. e. Articles that would clearly suggest to most readers that a lab origin was fairly likely (say, >10%). f. Articles that predominantly quoted and cited laboratory origin proponents compared to skeptical scientists

Of course, that will be somewhat subjective.
