In late 2020, social media companies censored the New York Post’s scoop about Hunter Biden’s laptop. Twitter suspended the Post, saying the story was unsubstantiated while being “potentially harmful” and “unsafe.” In other words, the story was flagged as “disinformation.”
Why were social media outlets suspending outlets and accounts for spreading “disinformation”? Mostly, it seems, because Democrats were saying the story wasn’t true, which is more than enough for today’s “fact-checkers.” At the time Jen Psaki was among those trying to put down the story:
Jen Psaki ~ Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.
http://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/19/hunter-biden-story-russian-disinfo-430276
"Dozens of former intel officers," eh? Let's see ... who heads that list? James Clapper, John Brennan, and Mike Hayden. BWHA HA HA HA HA HA ... snort! ... BWHA HA HA HA HA HA ... wheeze! ... BWHA HA HA HA HA HA ... gasp! ... BWHA HA HA HA HA HA!!! ROTFLMAO ... the only Deep State, Democrat, libtard hack you missed was the equally sleazy Peter Strzok!
Tweets like that one continue to age poorly and the suspensions show that social media companies were being hacks for the Dem Party. The New York Times is now reporting the story and where things stand on the investigation of Hunter Biden:
Kenneth P. Vogel ~ SCOOP: HUNTER BIDEN paid off a significant tax liability (he told an associate that it was $1M+ & that he took out a loan to pay it).
But a federal grand jury is continuing to gather evidence in a broad probe of Hunter's international business dealings.

Byron York ~ New York Times flash: Hunter Biden had a laptop. It contained emails about his foreign business activities. Those emails have been 'authenticated by people familiar with them and with the [Biden tax and foreign influence] investigation.' @mirandadevine
http://nytimes.com/2022/03/16/us/politics/hunter-biden-tax-bill-investigation.html
And of course the Times wasn’t exactly in a rush to confirm the laptop detail:
Ben Shapiro ~ The Hunter Biden laptop was real, of course. The NYT buries its confirmation of the story in paragraph 27.
Ben Shapiro ~ There is only one solution here: the NYT must be banned by social media until the 2024 election is over.
Yep, that would be even-handed.
Eddie Zipperer ~ I presume the NYT will be booted from Twitter any second now.
New York Post ~ Hunter Biden's infamous laptop confirmed in New York Times report. http://trib.al/9ZwwWu1
Just yesterday, President Biden said, “I bet everybody knows somebody ... that in an intimate relationship, what happened was the guy takes a revealing picture of his naked friend, or whatever, in a compromising position and then blackmails.” So the timing of the NYT’s story shortly after that is ... interesting.
Hmmm ... I realize that Hunter Biden has himself a new wife ... after doing an endless stream of skanky hookers and knocking up a stripper with Joe Biden's seventh grandchild ... but, is it possible that he's still banging his sister-in-law on the side?
Tom Fitton ~ TRUMP WAS RIGHT: Hunter Biden Paid One Million Dollar Tax Bill, but Broad Federal Investigation Continues - Ukraine, Burisma, China, etc. The corrupt cover-up of this scandal to protect Joe Biden is part of the worst corruption scandal in American history.
NewMark Respector ~ Almost 2 years late to the game.
Well, there IS a reason WHY the New York Slimes are 2 years too late, ya know.
Social media companies and others in media got away with calling the story “misinformation” and “disinformation” long enough to get Biden through the election, which was obviously the goal.
