One of the favorite tactics of the garbage media is to dismiss and/or ignore a story they don’t like until the news cycle moves on. Then, at some much later date they will quietly acknowledge the story was true all along and simultaneously declare it to be “old news.” In this way, they can avoid ever having to talk about things they don’t like, and still pretend like they have some kind of journalistic integrity. No need to discuss that story we buried months ago, they will say, it’s old news. Why can’t you people just move on already???
One of the most egregious acts of journalistic malpractice to ever occur was the interference the media ran for alleged “President” and sleazy old bastard Joe Biden in the run-up to the 2020 election in regards to Hunter’s laptop. Joe’s crack-addled loser of a son left his laptop at a repair shop with tons of compromising information on the hard drive related to the Biden’s longtime racket of selling influence to enrich themselves. (The legitimacy of the laptop contents was confirmed by a Biden business partner at the time.) This was a bombshell revelation, and would have been devastating to Joe Biden’s campaign. It was also a juicy scandal, the kind the media would normally love to sink their teeth into… even if only for the ratings. But in this case there was a really big problem. If the media exposed sleazy Joe right before the election, it would almost certainly mean handing the election to Trump. And that is the one thing they could never bring themselves to do.
So instead of reporting on the facts, they comically dismissed the laptop revelations as “Russian disinformation” and actively encouraged voters to ignore it. They even went so far as to debunk some other obscure conspiracy theory and then purposely conflate it with the laptop story to confuse people.
Welp, it looks like now is the time the media has chosen to transition the Hunter story from “crazy right wing conspiracy” to “old news” everyone already knows about that we don’t need to discuss ever again. Politico just confirmed the emails Joe’s crack fiend kid recklessly exposed are legit. With the news cycle packed with the multiple crises the crusty old imbecile occupying the White House has created, the garbage media probably figured this was a good time to slip a story under the radar. Dementia-riddled moron installed, and journalistic integrity intact!!! Yay, media!!!
