Again, the media didn't label it Russian disinfo. Again, they reported what a group of experts said about that. No, there wasn't any intentional misleading, apart perhaps from what the NYP was doing, which even some of its own journalists refused to put their byline on. The experts said what they believed was probable, and it was reported that way.
The story was banned from Twitter for one day, on the basis of being hacked material. The ban was lifted the next day. It was all over Twitter and social media in general.
No, the story wasn't buried, as I already pointed out to you. You can easily verify that yourself. These are only the results that Google has dated, there are no doubt also undated ones:
Hunter smoking crack was never the heart of the story. The NYP repeatedly claimed their secret stash of emails showed Joe Biden was complicit in Hunter's corruption. That wasn't true.
You can't state the true information that I asked you to state, so I can't take you seriously. You don't care about the truth. You care about what makes your preferred political party look good.
This is an admission that they are intentionally misleading their readership about the nature of the information on that laptop. Even though an American person gave it to another American, who leaked it to an American newspaper, they insist on mentioning - for no apparent reason, and counter to what the FBI knew in advance - that it *might be* foreign disinfo. Probably not. But it might be! Except it wasn't, and all of the people on that list you sent knew it. So they swept it under the rug until after the election, in an affront to the dignity of their very profession.
Here's Glenn Greenwald's reporting, at the time, that The Intercept refused to publish ahead of the election. It has all of the proof and sources that I need to stand by everything I've said, although I don't need proof for myself: I lived through this period and was consuming relevant media on this subject as it was happening. I remember it vividly.
The links you gave show a bunch of outlets writing false excuses for why they didn't cover the story. It wasn't hacked information. It wasn't foreign influence. It was a legitimate, true, outrageous scandal. It just wasn't as outrageous as anything Trump did on any typical day.
You continue to make my point, seeing only what fits your politics. The Google results show many articles from the MSM explaining the story including the allegations against the Bidens. It's a myth that the MSM didn't cover the story.
A scandal about someone's son isn't the same as one about that someone, something lost on many.
Nowhere in that article does it say the laptop is disinfo.
further, this isn't even a primary source. This is an idiot on a blog stating that other media sites specifically did not say it was "russian disinfo", but rather republished and quoted a letter which also did not say the laptop was russion disinfo. (Maybe you should read that letter? Here it is: https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000175-4393-d7aa-af77-579f9b330000 read it. Everyone who whines about this should)
Maybe... seriously, maybe read the article before you link it?
Yeah, that letter was bullshit. All of the people who signed off on thar letter knew the laptop wasn't foreign disinformation ahead of time. The FBI knew about its legitimacy for over a year prior to that letter being written. The letter is an example of domestic election interference by our own intelligence agencies, who lied on purpose about the nature of the laptop, in order to prevent reporters from covering it before the election.
Those people knew that it wasn't Russia. They knew it was legitimately sourced. They knew that emails weren't hacked by foreigners. But rather than confirming the legitimacy of the emails, they sent out this bullshit memo, insinuating that maybe Russia had something to do with it. They knew Russia had nothing to do with it when they wrote this memo! This is what is normally referred to as "disinformation." But NPR and the rest of the mainstream media bought it, and curtailed their coverage of the story ahead of the election in response. So the CIA and the FBI engaged in a domestic disinformation operation with the purpose of influencing an election outcome. That disinformation campaign was laundered through NPR. But liberals apparently think there's nothing wrong with this.
Wow. Read beyond the false headline. First, that's not about the people who signed the letter. Second, it shows the opposite of what they claim, that the FBI confirmed to Twitter that the laptop was real.
You see only what fits your politics. And you work hard to keep it that way, truth just doesn't matter nearly as much.
I've read everything that has been presented. The fact that the letter even mentioned Russia is a travesty. Russia had nothing to do with this, and they knew it. If they were being honest, the memo would have said "this laptop is legitimate, the emails contained within are valid, and no foreign country had anything to do with them."
You're not reading what you reply to.

Look inward.
You can't state the true information that I asked you to state, so I can't take you seriously. You don't care about the truth. You care about what makes your preferred political party look good.
Hey, do you have links to any actual proof?
I have links showing that not a single member of the "left wing media" stated that the laptop was Russian Disinfo.
It's not hard to find.
Just look on the "left wing media"
I'll give you 5$ if you can find a single instance of mainstream media stating that the laptop *is* disinformation.
Washington Post: "We must treat the Hunter Biden leaks as if they were a foreign intelligence operation - even if they probably aren't."
Pretty much sums up the mainstream media's ethos in the entire Trump era, right?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/10/24/hunter-biden-laptop-disinformation/
Wow. That's an opinion piece, and not one by WaPo.
You're clearly more interested in preserving your politics than truth. Your choice, it's the common choice.
"Even though they probably aren't"
Are you fucking stupid?
Are you? They are justifying censoring true information here!
ROFL. Yes, you are fucking stupid.
But go ahead with the censorship claims about things that are public, and were public at the time.
This is an admission that they are intentionally misleading their readership about the nature of the information on that laptop. Even though an American person gave it to another American, who leaked it to an American newspaper, they insist on mentioning - for no apparent reason, and counter to what the FBI knew in advance - that it *might be* foreign disinfo.

You continue to amaze. I gave you a Google link that shows a wide array of coverage of the story before the election. You ignored it and ran away.
Now you admit that something the Intercept did is all the evidence you need.
You believe whatever your politics dictate, with not the slightest interest in truth.
The links you gave show a bunch of outlets writing false excuses for why they didn't cover the story. It wasn't hacked information. It wasn't foreign influence. It was a legitimate, true, outrageous scandal. It just wasn't as outrageous as anything Trump did on any typical day.

Maybe... seriously, maybe read the article before you link it?
That's the list of spooks that misled the entire corporate media into thinking that they needed to censor true information for political reasons.
did you read the letter?
Yeah, that letter was bullshit. All of the people who signed off on thar letter knew the laptop wasn't foreign disinformation ahead of time. The FBI knew about its legitimacy for over a year prior to that letter being written. The letter is an example of domestic election interference by our own intelligence agencies, who lied on purpose about the nature of the laptop, in order to prevent reporters from covering it before the election.
Here, since you obviously won't, here's the relevant bit:
"It is for all these reasons that we write to say that the arrival on the US poli<cal scene of emails
purportedly belonging to Vice President Biden’s son Hunter, much of it related to his <me
serving on the Board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, has all the classic earmarks of a
Russian informa<on opera<on.
We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails, provided to the New York Post by
President Trump’s personal aSorney Rudy Giuliani, are genuine or not and that we do not have
evidence of Russian involvement -- just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the
Russian government played a significant role in this case."
Now, re-read your last post, or any previous on the subject really, and tell me how you don't sound like an utter loon.
Since, you know, they explicitly *TELL YOU* that they don't know that it's russia.
Odd that none of your talking heads have ever mentioned that to you.
Maybe ask yourself why.

You see only what fits your politics. And you work hard to keep it that way, truth just doesn't matter nearly as much.
Can you tell me what the two quoted paragraphs say?
Did you read them?
Or do you continue to simply ignore evidence you can easily read?
So, you didn't read the fucking letter.
Seriously.
READ IT YOU FUCKING TWATWAFFLE.
I've read everything that has been presented. The fact that the letter even mentioned Russia is a travesty. Russia had nothing to do with this, and they knew it. If they were being honest, the memo would have said "this laptop is legitimate, the emails contained within are valid, and no foreign country had anything to do with them."
So, the letter that says they do not know if it's russian disinformation, is somehow them telling everyone it's russian disinformation.
You realize, you live in a fucking fantasy world right?
My god you're stupid.
Not even close to reality about the people who wrote the letter.
You really can't read. Amazing resistance to plain fact.
