Misinformation

Hunter Biden left his laptop with a repair shop in April of 2019. When the owner saw what was on it he turned it over to the FBI but then it just disappeared. After about 6 months without hearing anything the owner turned a copy of the hard drive over to former NY mayor Rudy Giuliani. As information from the laptop was released the press reported it as Russian disinformation. Now the New York Times says the info from the laptop has been authenticated. This is from the Washington Post today. When the New York Post published information about the tawdry access-peddling business dealings of President Joe Biden’s son a month before the 2020 election, much of the major media refused to cover it. Some of them even called it (without any evidence) Russian disinformation. Big Tech's social media platforms took the unprecedented step of throttling access to the stories. This is one reason why the press should not be the arbiters of truth. One interesting fact is that Trump lost the three states of Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin a total of 45,000 votes and many experts feel that if the Hunter story had been published that would have change the vote enough for Trump to win. This is given by Trump voters as a reason to call the election a fraud. Others would say its just sour grapes. Democrats say it would not have effected the election because they didn't vote for Biden they voted against Trump. Lots can change if you play the what if game. What if Perot had not run would Clinton have been elected. More recently what if the Covid had not come along would Trump have been elected. The election is over but the press should explain why they were fooled.
