After two months of cover-ups and denials, the mainstream media suddenly acted in unison and reported in high profile the investigation of Hunter Biden.
On Wednesday (Dec. 9), as Trump’s legal team and other lawyers were fighting the election fraud lawsuit in full swing, an old story popped up. That is, “Hunter Biden is under investigation”.
What’s strange about this is that first of all, this news came from Biden’s team, why? Secondly, for this old story that has been exposed for two months, those who originally either played deaf and dumb or screamed “conspiracy theory”, “smear theory”, “unverifiable theory”, etc. The “mainstream media”, as if they were shouted “Ready! Release!” They all started to report the news with a lot of fanfare. –This is the question that has been raised by many media and the public who have reported on the Hunt “Hard Drivegate” story.
Before summarizing the views of the media, opinion makers and elected officials, let’s look at the immediate effects of this old story as news.
First, the news confirms that for two months, all of the mainstream media and social media, as well as Biden himself, have been blatantly lying to the American people.
In October, the New York Post was the first to reveal that Hunter Biden had arranged a meeting between executives of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma and his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, followed by the full-blown revelation of Hunter’s “computer hard drive.
How did the mainstream media and the high-tech companies that control the Internet behave at the time?
1) Facebook: announced it would “suppress the story,” asked its “third-party fact-checkers” to review it, and labeled the news as “misinformation.
2) Twitter: Blocked the New York Post account, the source of the story, for more than two weeks, and blocked the accounts of all influential people who spread the story; the Biden campaign used Twitter’s blocking of the story as “proof” that the story was false.
3) The Washington Post: describes the story as “Russian fake news” and incoherently advises readers to treat Hunter Biden’s emails as “foreign intelligence” “even though they may not be.
(4) Wikipedia: According to Breitbart Media, Wiki editors “dismissed the New York Post as an ‘unreliable source’ and used it as a reason not to talk about the story”; afterwards, Wiki continued to suppress the story, calling it “Russian fake news” and saying it “has been debunked.
5) CBS News: Said the story was “an old laptop allegedly filled with (Hunter Biden’s) old emails. It was a story deliberately designed to get people’s attention in the final weeks before the election, not knowing if it was true or not”; and “the laptop can’t be verified – because it can’t be proven.
(6) Fox News: With the exception of some programs such as Tucker Calson, which did report on Hunt’s “hard drive” and interviewed witnesses, and reported that Hunt was being investigated for money laundering, other reporters such as Chris Wallace called the story “completely unconfirmed” and said “Giuliani is no longer the most reliable source.
(7) MSNBC: “Fake news” and “the stupidest of the October Surprises.
(9) Politico: “Russian fake news”.
(10) CNN: After a few days of silence, a high-profile report called on Silicon Valley to impose tougher censorship measures to wipe out this “exemplary right-wing media story.
(11) NPR: “We don’t want to waste time on stories that aren’t stories, we don’t want to waste listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just diversions.
12) ABC: Just ignore it.
(13) NBC: There is a “false person” who created a conspiracy against Hunter Biden; and said that the Trump team has a 64-page document of false information about Biden.
(14) Biden himself: In addition to his previous statements that he had no knowledge of Hunter’s foreign business and repeatedly made clear that there was no wrongdoing by his son or relatives, at the last televised presidential debate he told the entire American audience: “Fifty former national intelligence officers said that it was a Russian factory that accused me, and they said that four or five of them, the head of the CIA heads, all said his (meaning Trump’s) word was a bunch of garbage and nobody believed it except him, him and his good friend Giuliani”; “All of the big American, international and local media investigated it and it was a lie, it was a president who told the big lie.”
Just a month and a half later, the mainstream media turned around and smacked Biden in the mouth, as their reporting now shows that Biden has not been telling the truth; CNN also said that the Justice Department’s investigation was a “challenge” to Biden.
Sen. John Kennedy (D-Mass.) said on Fox News, “I think this thing, or this new revelation, once again raises the question of why and how big mainstream news organizations and social media are trying to knock off the New York Post about laptops and so on.”
