Hunter Biden Laptop Revelations Uncover Depth of Elite Institutional Corruption
By Jarrett Stepman | March 28, 2022 | 10:01am EDT
America’s most powerful, elite institutions now cooperate to misinform the public and suppress dissent.
It’s hard to think otherwise during the arc of the Hunter Biden laptop story that turned out to be true.
In late March, The New York Times reporters wrote that they authenticated email “obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. [Hunter] Biden in a Delaware repair shop.”
This is in reference to a story the New York Post broke in 2020, shortly before the presidential election, about emails sent from the laptop of the president’s son, Hunter. The emails suggest that Hunter was using his father’s name and office to enrich himself. It raised serious questions about whether now-President Joe Biden was involved in any way.
Don’t go celebrating The New York Times’ sudden commitment to truth and accuracy. The paper buried the lede and put the acknowledgment that the emails were real on the 24th paragraph of its story.
No grand mea culpa here, just a little acknowledgment that it got things wrong a year late and a dollar short.
When the story initially broke, the Times and most of the legacy media dismissed it entirely. They called it a non-story and promoted the idea that it was likely Russian disinformation.
NPR explained that it just couldn’t cover the story because its “assertions don’t amount to much.”
