TURNING AWAY FROM THOSE WHO SUPPRESS THE TRUTH
The NYT has verified the New York Post story about Hunter Biden's laptop. This refutes the claim made by Joe Biden, Democrat intelligence "experts," Jen Psaki, the legacy media, and other Democrat operatives that the story was nothing but Russian disinformation. We now know that it was news--news that those supporting Biden, including Twitter, Facebook, and Google, successfully suppressed prior to the 2020 election. That suppression was election interference. The New York Post story, as it turns out, was legitimate real journalism; the denunciations by other news outlets, consequently, classifies as "yellow journalism," sensational and false reporting designed to emotionally manipulate public opinion in support of a particular political objective.

The claim trumpeted by the media that the New York Post story was obvious Russian disinformation was designed to curry favor and sympathy for the Biden-Harris ticket as the victim of foreign intervention and Republican complicity to spread damaging lies and propaganda. Those who control internet platforms suppressed the story so that Americans could not read the evidence. In fact, over fifty intelligence officials put their reputations on the line by signing a letter to claim that the New York Post story was suspect as Russian disinformation. CNN's Brian Stelter called the news report a "manufactured scandal." Given what we now know, all fifty of these intelligence officials, as well as Brian Stelter, should be dismissed from their jobs for blatant incompetence. If they cannot tell the difference between a factual report and Russian disinformation, then they are not much use as analysts of intelligence or the news. We now understand that the denunciations of the story amounted to Democrat propaganda to protect Joe Biden's candidacy--and that's all. The public interest be damned.

Consequently, Americans now have documented proof showing that the legacy media lies to them without remorse in support of one political party, that internet moguls suppress the truth for political purposes, and that the Democrat party is the party of propaganda. That last point has been further documented from the dishonest spin we have seen applied to one crisis after another into which Biden's policies have led us--from the disastrous Afghan withdrawal to inflation to oil prices to the war in Ukraine. When Biden took his oath of office, Democrats were clucking, "The adults are back in the room." Now we see that the Democrat standard of adult responsibility sets the bar so low that Democrats would classify Hunter Biden as a responsible adult. In fact, Joe Biden called him "one of the smartest people I know." Those who think government officials should be held to a higher standard of responsibility have a vote coming in November. As to the media and internet, they can also elect to withhold their trust from networks that have chosen to lie to them.

Well over here we all knew the Hunter Biden Laptop story was real and that the Russia Collusion crap was just that... crap.
YOu guys need to do something about your media and the big tech companies.

Of course this is very far from what really happened. Even the Post had doubts about the authenticity of the story at the time they wrote it. The New York Post’s front-page article about Hunter Biden on Wednesday was written mostly by a staff reporter who refused to put his name on it. The Post has mostly turned into a tabloid at this point in time and really cares little about facts, so the NYT and other media outlets were correct in questioning the the reporting at the time it was written. Actually, the NYT should be commended for following up and eventually confirming the story. They could have continued to claim that story the story was bogus and probably none of their readers would have questioned it. Or just buried the story. And that's probably what would have happened if the Times were as dishonest as is claimed in the rant above. But they didn't. Some 50 Intel people backed them up at the time. At least they kept up with the story and eventually got to the truth. I seriously doubt this would have occurred in today's conservative media. This story would be a non-story if it was anyone but the president's son. So, Hunter made some money off his dad's name and position. To hear the conservative media tell it, you would think that this is the first time in history that this has ever happened. Happens all the time. The real conclusion that should be drawn is that the NYT is reasonably trustworthy since they owned up, but you won't hear that on this site. It's all about how the Times tries to suppress the truth. If that was really true they would have continued to claim the story was bogus, or simply not commented, which they didn't.

Uh-huh. Continue to drink the Kool-Aid, my friend. The NYT has admitted the story because it is now convenient. Biden has become so toxic that he cannot run for a second term. Democrats need to remove him from the scene. This story now becomes convenient. But you seem completely uninterested in how this news story exposes corruption in the highest office in the land. Your attempt to discredit the story by using an ad hominem dismissal of the oldest newspaper in the nation suggests an embrace of controlled news by those who lie. And you vote.

@givpd I don't know how being the "oldest newspaper in the land" is germane to anything. And I think it's dangerous to speculate on why the NYT did it now. If what you say is true, then it wouldn't just be the Times saying this, there would be a bunch of news outlets crying including the Dems in Congress. They would be calling for an investigation by the DOJ, which they are not. The DOJ was looking into Biden's finances long before his father became president undoubtedly at the request of Trump. And I don't see how this story exposes corruption in the highest office. Unlike Trump's kids, Hunter Biden is not an advisor to the president. As far as I know, he didn't work on the Obama or his father's campaigns, at least, not in any significant capacity. It's hard to see how he could do all these corrupt things in government, whatever those are, when he holds no office and directs no people in the government. Common sense just says that this is all political BS. I don't think I'm the only one drinking the Kool-Aid into baseless conspiracy theories.

As I read the post, which relies on the admission -- at long last -- by the New York Times that the New York Post Hunter Biden story was accurate, I was struck by the repeated statements that "We now know" that is was accurate. Here are the two statements I have in mind:

"We now know that it was news--news that those supporting Biden, including Twitter, Facebook, and Google, successfully suppressed prior to the 2020 election." (Italics mine.)

"Given what we now know, all fifty of these intelligence officials, as well as Brian Stelter, should be dismissed from their jobs for blatant incompetence." (Italics mine.)

I immediately thought, when reading those statements, that some of us, perhaps most of us, who are on the Conservative cultural and political end of the spectrum, already knew this. But then I thought that the "we" in your statements was probably not intended to be understood as "we Conservatives now know," but rather as "we -- whether Conservative or Liberal, Republican or Democrat -- who are genuinely interested in truthful and accurate reporting, in reporting which at least tries hard to be objective, now know." Read this way, I say, "Yes, finally."

This is red pilling a number of lefty journalists that try to be honest. (Malice defn of red pill, mainstream media lies to you for corporate gain and power.)

I don't think they are red pilled. They just see the tide turning and are trying now (at this late date -- damage was done) so they can claim: "We've evolved."
Hypocrites.
They told the original lie (& they knew it to be a lie) because it supported their political position. I doubt that has changed.

In other words, once a liar,............

@bobbo666 All politicians lie... the Dems just pulled off 2 huge ones with media support though.
