We reported yesterday that liberal media are slowly acknowledging the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s laptop and email messages. The New York Times also acknowledged it in an article.
We observed that all of this could have been solved long ago, and the New York Post supported it. Tony Bobulinski, a prominent spokesman for the New York Post confirmed that emails were true. But most of the media just wasn’t interested in doing so, because they had a narrative about it to push. You even had NPR — which receives some taxpayer funds — all in line with the narrative.

Then social media including Twitter did their best to try claiming–variously–it was “hacked material” or Russian disinformation, although they had no evidence that either thing was the case. Twitter even shut down the NY Post’s account for posting their own story. We were shocked at how absurd that turned out to be. This may have been a crucial difference in the election, as we pointed out.
You also had over 50 ex-intelligence personnel who signed a statement implying that it was Russian disinformation.
“If we are right,” they added, “this is Russia trying to influence how Americans vote in this election, and we believe strongly that Americans need to be aware of this.” They went even further saying they were concerned that this was being used by Russia to help Donald Trump and hurt Joe Biden.
Was there any evidence that they had ever seen? They didn’t have any.
This was the crucial part of the letter, which many people ignored or just skipped. “We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails, provided to the New York Post by President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, are genuine or not and that we do not have evidence of Russian involvement,” they said.
They had no evidence at all, as they admit, yet still, they were willing to interfere in the election and suggest it anyway — knowing that how their letter would be trumpeted by all the media and by the Biden team. They could have confirmed that the laptop’s and the attendant data were genuine, as the NY Post did. But they didn’t bother to do so before they put out their letter. So much for their “intelligence” work or ability.
The NY Post’s Miranda Devine called them all out. Among them were James Clapper, former Obama DNI and John Brennan, former Obama CIA chief.
Remember who claimed the email published by The Associated Press was fraudulently signed in the dishonest Election Eve letter? @nypost from Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation”. pic.twitter.com/xojWjc1qvv

Signing this letter, and not retracting it for 16 months or more destroyed their reputations. These people are still seen on MSNBC and CNN as highly respected experts about the Ukraine war. It is the least that they can do: declare conflict of interest. pic.twitter.com/36ituz51MU

Biden and his team took the letter as a whole, pretending that it contained Russian disinformation. Most media also did this.

Here’s Joe Biden lying about it in December 2020, when asked by Fox’s Peter Doocy.

It was concerning that all this occurred at the time, but it’s even more disturbing, I think, in retrospect that all these elements all came together to push a narrative that helped Biden. While it’s concerning that the media did this, it’s even more concerning that we had the intel community–which is supposed to be neutral–doing something like this. This leaves us wondering where we are now with so many of these individuals still in power and having media influence. How about Biden’s team, which helped and assisted this lie even though they were aware it was true.
Republicans have to regain control of power. There must be a reckoning.
