It is one thing to look at the awful suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 presidential election and imagine what happened. It is entirely another to watch reporters confirm these suppressions and talk about them openly.

Watch as former Politico reporters Tara Palmeri and Marc Caputo discuss the lengths to which Politico avoided the Hunter Biden laptop until The Dirty 51 published their letter (click “expand” to view full transcript):


MARC CAPUTO: Another great example, when Politico did that terrible, ill-fated headline: 51 intelligence agents, or former intelligence agents, say that the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation, or bore the hallmarks of disinformation (Actual: Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say). Turns out that story was closer to disinformation because the Hunter Biden laptop appeared to be true.

TARA PALMERI: But then Facebook also pulled all stories down about the Hunter Biden laptop, and I think Twitter did at the same time, too.

I'm not sure that confirming what was believed true based on strong circumstantial evidence is exactly a "bombshell". Given that more than 4 years have passed since that suppression and lie, this is more like, "It's safe to admit this now."
