Washington Post Attempts to Justify Media Suppression of Hunter Biden-Laptop Story

Loading

By CHARLES C. W. COOKE

One of the main reasons that the mainstream press is so utterly lost these days is that the mainstream press does not know that it is utterly lost these days. See, for a good example, this preposterous post-rationalization of the reaction to the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story that has been put together by the Washington Post’s Philip Bump.
 
Introducing his piece — which is titled, “The forgotten — and ignored — context for the emergence of the Hunter Biden laptop story” — Bump writes:

When the New York Post reported on Oct. 14, 2020, that it was in possession of emails between a Ukrainian businessman and Hunter Biden, son of the then-Democratic presidential nominee, it would have been hard to predict what followed. This was less than three weeks before the election itself, and the content of the report was soon subsumed to the odd way in which the paper obtained the information. Mainstream outlets and social media companies balked at elevating the story’s claims, triggering frustrations on the right that remain to this day.

Before we go on, let me stop Bump right there. “Social media companies” did not “balk at elevating the story’s claims.” They worked overtime to stop anybody reading the story at all. Twitter prevented users from sharing links to the piece by showing those who tried a message that read, “We can’t complete this request because this link has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially harmful,” and it went so far as to suspend the New York Post’s account completely, until the paper agreed to delete its tweets on the matter. Facebook, meanwhile, altered its algorithms so that it did not “place posts linking to the story as highly in people’s news feeds, reducing the number of users who [saw] it.”
 
As for Bump’s “mainstream outlets”? They were actively dismissive. NPR explained that it did “not want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions.” This was typical. At one of the presidential debates, Joe Biden said (well, lied) that the story was “a bunch of garbage” and a “Russian plant,” and, as he knew that it would, the press followed suit with these characterizations. “Balked at elevating the story’s claims”? Give me a break.

Bump continues:

New reporting has re-elevated questions about how the story emerged and was handled. In light of that resurrection, it seems useful to articulate exactly why there was suspicion about the story’s origins — suspicion that itself has not entirely been resolved.

In a vacuum, the case that Bump goes on to make is arguable. Indeed, if the mainstream press were a habitually skeptical institution, it might even be correct. But the mainstream press is not a habitually skeptical institution. Rather, it is a gullible, ill-informed, hysterical, lazy, dumb, and duplicitous institution, and its aims are utterly transparent.
 
You will presumably recall that the Hunter Biden story about which Bump is writing came hot on the heels of one of the most absurd freakouts in recent American history — a freakout, I need not remind anyone, during which the press exhibited precisely none of the traits that Bump is ascribing to it now. Utterly convinced that Donald Trump was a Russian agent, Bump’s “suspicious” press spent four years repeating, sharing, “elevating” (and believing) the most preposterous thing about Donald Trump — and doing so without the slightest hint of skepticism “about the story’s origins.”

When the media and gov’t work in conjunction, sometimes with big business (like big pharma) joining in, what do you even call that?
It is “liberal?”
It is more il-liberal.
Deep State is the closest thing we have to a label for what is happening around us.
The Swamp is deep and rich.
WaPo is trying to reclaim some credibility while at the same time doing joe’s puppet masters bidding.
Too late.

There is no justification for suppressing information that would have been vital to the American people prior to an election. All who censored or suppressed information regarding the laptop from hell engaged in a collaborative act the deny the American people their choice for who would be president.
No one person in their right mind thinks that biden got 81 million legal votes.

The amount of fraud being exposed currently tells us he did not get enough votes to win the election.

But, the media is not coming to Jesus in order to make right what they had gotten so wrong.

No, they are coming after joe. They want to get him out of the way knowing they are going to lose both House and Senate. And, they do not want the first impeached president removed from office to be a democrat. That my friends is the bid and the ask…

Another One: Kamala Harris’ National Security Advisor Resigns

Why does this woman have so much turnover in her staff? We know she is a complete bitch but most of them know that time is dwindling as the walls close in

I’m rather sure Harris will make Biden look Trump-like in a matter of weeks.

Biden is not the President.

HUNTER BIDEN is not the President—a point apparently lost on Trump cultists.

Who said he was?

not thinking to clear today huh?

When greg tries to be witty, he just looks like an absolutely moron.

This could be fun. greg is definitely on the brink of losing it.

I wonder how far he’d go? I imagine him living in some Swiss town just trolling in his spare time…just before his silly plans backfire and Putin nukes him.

You can try that shit on a lib blog, the fact that Trumps kids were not President did not stop them from investigating them. Without the pics of Nancy Pelosis son doing lines next to a little chinese girl that appears to be tied up.

The Leftist/Globalist/Davos establishment knows they installed Biden, and they know Trump will completely destroy their structures and plans if allowed to legally and electorally re-take the WH he didn’t really lose in 2020.

To that end, greg and his ilk have to double-down, lie, and have tantrums any time it’s pointed out that the cost of Biden’s installation is one they can’t sustainably pay.

He’s implied Trump should be killed, which shows you who he really is.

Biden’s regime will end.

Trump 2024.

Trump’s ‘kids’—who also ran Trump’s private businesses—were handed Top Secret security clearances, became official representatives of the US Government, and were flown all over the world to engage in secret negotiations that no one but Trump Daddy was actually privy to.

Hunter Biden had no official governmental function of any sort.

There is no equivalency.

We have a laptop as to Hunter’s dealings that paid money to Joe. We have witnesses to those dealings as well.

We have Joe Biden admitting to withholding money from Ukraine for personal gain.

Anything on Trump? Any reason to suspect anything? Just going to make it up because it “could have happened?”

Piss off. You have NOTHING on Trump, and Biden’s corruption is literally public knowledge.

There is no equivalency.

That is the point. THERE IS NO EQUIVALENCY.

We have Joe Biden admitting to withholding money from Ukraine for personal gain.

And THAT statement is a LIE.

Except it’s on camera. But hey, facts never really mattered to you.

My so-called “lies” always seem to have physical evidence….but your real lies are always retracted quietly three weeks after they come out.

That tells us a lot.

Not only did Obama/Biden force an illegal coup in Ukraine, they profited from it…many Dem politicians suddenly “investing” in companies there.

That’s illegal.

Haha. That’s how you like to pretend to substantiate your lies.

Biden withheld aid from Ukraine. He admitted to it on camera. It’s contextual, and accurate. It’s not an opinion.

It’s fact.

The proof is even further in current events.

Kids in cages, open border, trafficking kids.
More covid deaths than Trump, secret and sudden changes in kid covid death numbers, hundreds of thousands dead so Joe could line the pockets of big pharma.
China making threats.
Russia acting on them.
Hyper-inflation.
Food shortages.
Teen suicides because of insane LGBT b.s.
Rampant crime.
Using the FBI to attack parents.
Censoring Presidents and other political rivals online.

The world you support sucks. Biden is no president, and it’s too easy for Americans to see the poison fruit of what this new world order is giving.

Good luck.

The Ukrainian prosecutor was fired on bidens behalf to protect his bagman son who was bring home the bacon for the big guy. It was a strait up quid pro quo

The terminated Burmisa investigation involved a time period that ended before Hunter Biden had any involvement with the company. But hey, you NEED that dot to draw the picture that you want, so we’ll just pretend Shokin’s investigation was about Hunter Biden. The target audience will probably never know the difference.

The spin that the investigation involved Hunter Biden was part of the political smear campaign Rudy was trying to get Ukraine to cooperate with during the run-up to the 2020 presidential election. Everyone who was following credible news outlets at the time knows this.

Over two years later, the right is still trying to sell the same line of b.s.

The investigation was on Burisma holdings, Biden bragged in 2018, Hunter was an employee in 2014 so when exactly did Biden ask for the investigation into a future or current employer of his pedo no skill spawn happen? The coup was 2013/2014.

JOE BIDEN, 23 JANUARY 2018: And that is I’m desperately concerned about the backsliding on the part of Kiev in terms of corruption. They made—I mean, I’ll give you one concrete example. I was—not I, but it just happened to be that was the assignment I got. I got all the good ones. And so I got Ukraine. And I remember going over, convincing our team, our leaders to—convincing that we should be providing for loan guarantees. And I went over, I guess, the 12th, 13th time to Kiev. And I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee. And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor. And they didn’t.

So they said they had—they were walking out to a press conference. I said, nah, I’m not going to—or, we’re not going to give you the billion dollars. They said, you have no authority. You’re not the president. The president said—I said, call him.

(Laughter.)

I said, I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars. I said, you’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch. (Laughter.) He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.

Hunter was the bagman. He brought back millions upon millions

But because you don’t have a 5-second clip from twitter, it didn’t happen.

Meanwhile, didn’t greg SWEAR Trump was going to get arrested in NY for something?

Just another hoax.

And THAT statement is a LIE.

Nope. True. Idiot Biden (this is how STUPID he is) actually admitted it and bragged about it on video. The emails confirm that idiot Biden’s extortion served the prescribed purpose.

Indeed. Your invocation of Trump’s kids was absolutely idiotic.

There is no equivalency, no comparison to what Joe did with Hunter, illegally.

If one of Trump’s kids was like Hunter, it would non-stop news.

The suppression of the Hunter laptop alone negates the “certification” of the 2020 election.

That is the point. THERE IS NO EQUIVALENCY.

No, equivalency would be Trump, Jr. flying with Trump on AF1 and using Trump’s position to sell real estate, and then giving Trump a portion of the profits. THAT’S what Hunter was doing, only Hunter had NO business experience.

Wait a minute scooter what real estate was sold and where?

No, for there to be a Trump equivalency, that is what it would have been. Not WAS.

Donald Trump, and historically successful businessman and real estate mogul, ran for the highest office in all of human history.

He won…against the odds, against the system that traditionally preselected the winner…against an opponent with DOUBLE the spend campaign funds, and against a vile, hateful propaganda media that lied….lied…lied.

What a f*cking legend Trump is.

LEGEND.

What a f*cking legend Trump is. LEGEND.

Yep. King of the Wild Frontier. Killed his first man on Fifth Avenue when he was only three. Didn’t lose any voters. He’s a legend.

You have nothing, zip zero nada.

All silly jokes of your aside, the facts are facts.

Trump is fucking legend.

Legend. He revealed just how compromised our democracy had become. Now you people are outted.

While idiot Biden ran around naked in front of his Secret Service female members. What a trashy, degenerate piece of worthless shit.

Trump’s ‘kids’—who also ran Trump’s private businesses—were handed Top Secret security clearances, became official representatives of the US Government, and were flown all over the world to engage in secret negotiations that no one but Trump Daddy was actually privy to.

And then they secured historic peace deals between traditional adversaries.

Hunter Biden had no official governmental function of any sort.

No, he just scored free transportation on AF2 (paid for by the US taxpayer) for the sole purpose of following daddy around, peddling his influence and scoring lucrative “business” deals with Russians, Chinese, Ukrainians and Kazakhstanis. In other words, he had the US government and taxpayers subsidizing his business dealings, which included kickbacks to dear old dad, idiot Biden.

They dug into the 2 youngest as well so dont even…
They didnt find pedo or druggie selfies on any of his kids. No billion dollar shady deals with China. Lets not forget Bidens brother was dipping too.

Hunter Biden was given jobs and took in money by illegal use of former VP Joe Biden’s office. Joe Biden has gotten rich, as he’s taken payments back from Hunter for this corrupt and illegal conduct.

The “Hunter is not the president” deflection is ridiculous, weak, and easily slapped aside. I see it amongst the Leftwing cult everywhere, as if they are rats following the pied piper.

Joe Biden is not the President. He never will be.

Meanwhile, back in reality, President Biden is trying to deal with inflation, lingering pandemic supply chain issues, spiking gasoline prices, Chinese expansionism, crushing debt, a Russian tyrant running amok in Eastern Europe, and right-wing idiots who think democracy has been protected when their mob invades the Capitol to overturn an election that their mob Leader clearly lost.

Biden caused inflation. Spending does that.

Biden caused higher gas prices. Not pumping your own oil does that.

Biden allowed China to expand. Overturning the previous President’s trade agreements and giving the ChiComs back their one-sided deals does that.

Biden allowed Putin to attack Ukraine. Not being strong, or not decisively elected does that.

There’s little reason to convince the few Americans who still actually think Biden won the election of the overwhelmingly credible evidence of fraud, and that January 6th was a shoddy false-flag that left 21,000 troops around our rather guild-laden new occupation.

The results of Biden’s absolute shit-show of a regime speak for themselves.

You might want to have a backup plan, greg. This is going to get ugly.

No, all he has tried to do is blame all his failures on everyone else.

No he isnt , he has been in politics for f’n ever and has not solved 1 problem but caused many. Do you think Nancys kid just fell in with a bad crowd, or just really bad parenting? What sickos that DC elite have spawned. What could have happened to them that removed every shread of decency?

greggie, Biden caused inflation. He could best solve it by getting back to self sufficiency. You leftists could not do that since it would mean following Trump’s policies.

Trump ran up more debt in 4 years than any other president in modern US history.

Trump ran up nearly as much debt during 4 years of a recovered economy than Obama did over 8, while the nation was trying to get back on it’s feet after the 2007-2008 recession.

The man is a fraud. His “prosperity” was a calculated binge resulting from the continuation of emergency stimulus measures long after the economy had recovered. He kept interest rates near zero and slashed taxes despite deficits, reversing Obama’s trend of falling deficits. In the process, he robbed traditional savers of their assets by pushing savings interest rates below the rate of inflation.

Trump’s high-end-heavy tax cuts also enabled another enormous upward transfer of wealth, which was essentially “paid for” by a record increase in the national debt the collective national debt. This will eventually collapse programs that average Americans depend on during their retirement years.

Trump is a schemer, a scammer, and a scoundrel. Always has been, always will be.

EMAILS PROVE IDIOT BIDEN IS A CORRUPT FRAUD.

Greg: “But, but, but… TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!!”

We had a COVID pandemic and the “science” said to shut down the economy. After some legitimate relief bills, Pelosi took over and began bloating them with trillions of dollars in pork and waste. But, that’s just facts and stuff. Nothing you are ever interested in.

Um, anything to critique other than the sad, tired old trope of Trump’s debt? Wanna talk about the people saved by securing the border?

The prison reform?

The unemployment rate?

The lack of new wars, moving of the embassy to Jerusalem, and North Korea, Putin, and Xi all quiet for 4 years?

The tax cuts helped normal Americans.

Now, given that Obama used massive amounts of debt, and Biden is inappropriately using more and more debt…and Trump would be just like those two, according to you, your protests are completely invalid.

Trump is a schemer, a scammer, and a scoundrel. Always has been, always will be.

Nebulous, subjective, partisan tripe.

Where’s the proof? I heard you easily swatted “debt” argument.

Is that all you got?

Trump’s financial policies were good, effective, and all Americans prospered. Your spin can’t change that.

Biden caused inflation. Spending does that.
Biden caused higher gas prices. Not pumping your own oil does that.
Biden allowed China to expand. Overturning the previous President’s trade agreements and giving the ChiComs back their one-sided deals does that.

The majority is getting smarter and the corrupt liberal media is losing it’s power of propaganda.

And when that happens, losing it’s power of propaganda, the left and the media will become more desperate. It is at that point when real freedoms will be attempted to be removed, ie. 1st and 2nd amendment…

HUNTER BIDEN is not the President—a point apparently lost on Trump cultists.

But Hunter Biden was peddling Vice President Biden’s influence and then, after he received his cut, Vice President Biden was delivering the influence, a point you apparently want to pretend doesn’t exist.

Hunter was running an influence scam based on the Biden name to support his lifestyle and drug habit. NOTHING proves his father had any part in it. References to the “big guy’s” cut most likely indicate that Hunter was also scamming his partners for a larger share of the take, but the right has latched onto that detail to smear his father.

Well, you couldn’t be more wrong. The emails, photos and Bobulinski confirm idiot Biden knew what was going on and was taking his cut. Why did idiot Biden lie about being involved or knowing about any of Hunter’s business dealings? Hell, he even met the head of Burisma. Go peddle your weak bullshit in some liberal echo-chamber; it don’t float here.

Bobulinski? Another guy with a tale. Maybe he can land another spot on Trucker Carlson.

Obviously, you cannot talk about irrefutable facts from the laptop for hell

NOTHING proves his father had any part in it.

Uh huh. Funny you don’t apply that mindset to Trump.

There’s reasons and proof to suspect Biden’s corrupt dealings in the Ukraine. He, on camera, admitted to withholding aid to Ukraine for his own personal gain.

Really? I’d like to see if he truly did admit to withholding aid to Ukraine for his own personal gain. Got a link??

Really? I’d like to see if he truly did admit to withholding aid to Ukraine for his own personal gain.

So, unless and until idiot Biden just CONFESSES to taking the 50% of Hunter’s influence peddling take that Hunter tells his family he has to contribute, you won’t accept the truth? I wonder why you don’t apply that same standard to Trump.

Idiot Biden admitted on video (I HAVE provided the link) that he threatened to hold $1 billion in already approved aid to Ukraine if they did not end the investigation into Burisma’s corruption, the company that was paying son Hunter $80,000 a MONTH as anti-investigation insurance. He DID it. He ADMITTED it. Ukraine CONFIRMS it. IT HAPPENED. Idiot Biden is CORRUPT and we knew it all along. You simply didn’t care, because Democrats are expected to be corrupt.

FFS Greg the bribe to Joe has been proven long ago.

Unlike Eric Holder who admitted to serving one man, being Obama’s “wingman.”

You’re an idiot.

The FBI had been in possession of the laptop from hell since December of 2019….

Rather, it is a gullible, ill-informed, hysterical, lazy, dumb, and duplicitous institution, and its aims are utterly transparent.

Well, as long as it is a story negative to Republicans. It’s never important to verify those and when they inevitably turn out to be false, they can issue a correction… months later, going mostly unnoticed. The liberal propaganda machine media serves one purpose: to promote and protect the corrupt, incompetent, anti-American Democrat party.

Anyone remember all the “skepticism” over that “bombshell” that Wikileaks gave Trump, Jr. the DNC emails before anyone else knew about them? They were so “skeptical” they misread the date of the email. The examples are legion.

The liberal propaganda media suppressed the Hunter laptop story because idiot Biden was already going to require a monumental amount of election fraud to “win” and more fraud could not be covered up.

The Washington Compost or the New York Slimes is dont matter which of these Daily rags some Americans might still read its mostly all Fake News anyway nothing but leftists propaganda since the NYT’s has been hiding the truth about Socialists since 1932
