Hunter Biden's Laptop

For John, BLUF:  I admire Reporter Glenn Greenwald for his integrity.  Here he is talkiing about Mr Hunter Biden's laptop and how it was reported to the American Public.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Glenn Greenwald will never stop talking about this and doesn't care if it's annoying.

I'll never stop talking about this and don't care if it's annoying.

This is a huge journalistic scandal:  almost every major news outlet ratified an outright lie to manipulate the 2020 election and - to this day - not one of them, not one, has apologized, explained or retracted.

In a Presidential Debase Candidate Biden cited a letter signed by 51 people connected to US Intelligence, which said that The New york Post story on Mr Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop computer had all the hallmarks of a classic Russian disinformation campaign.  As Former Central Intelligence Agency officer David Priess told Fox News Anchor Brett Baier, the letter didn't ssy it was a Russian disinformation campaign, just that it had the hallmarks.  President Biden claimed, during the debate, that the letter said it was Russian disinformstion.  Today even The New York Times and The Washington Post admit the laptop story is true.  Thus the letter, apparently not crafted carefully enough, was used to confuse the American Voter.  This poor crafting was not corrected after the debate.

Would it have made a difference in the outcome of the election?  Perhaps, but that is water under the bridge.  The thing to try and get right today is reporting that is not biased for one candidte or the other.
