Ex-Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler conceded on Thursday that he was "completely wrong" to label the COVID-19 lab leak theory "doubtful" in 2020.

In an interview with Kessler, theeditors.com founder Ira Stoll brought up the eroding trust in fact-checkers from conservatives, using the 2020 Washington Post fact check titled "Was the new coronavirus accidentally released from a Wuhan lab? It’s doubtful." as an example.

Kessler defended the work done on the piece by his Fact Checker video team but blamed himself for the backlash for adding the words "it’s doubtful" to the headline .

He described being called out by co-author Sarah Cahlan after it was published.
