During the 2020 presidential election, the Mainstream Media aggressively pushed to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story. They said the emails contained in the laptop were part of a baseless right-wing conspiracy and even a Russian disinformation effort.
But since President Biden was elected, the same media outlets that rejected the damning revelations as unsubstantial are now admitting there was legitimacy all along.
Some critics have charged the combination of prominent newspapers and networks turning a blind eye and Big Tech censoring the New York Post’s bombshell reporting aided Joe Biden‘s candidacy in the weeks ahead of his eventual election victory.
The New York Times published a story Wednesday evening that was a deep dive into the Justice Department’s ongoing investigation of Hunter Biden, who himself publicly acknowledged in December 2020 that the feds were looking into his “tax affairs.”
For months President Biden and the Mainstream Media dismissed a report
“People familiar with the investigation said prosecutors had examined emails between Mr. Biden, Mr. Archer and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity. Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation,” the Times wrote.
The question now is whether those media outlets who originally dismissed the story will be held accountable. And will Hunter Biden be held accountable? And most importantly, will President Biden be held accountable?
Had this been Donald Trump, Jr.’s emails — President Trump would’ve already been removed from office.
