New York Post Insiders Slag ‘Very Flimsy’ Hunter Biden Stories (This is the spin tonight)
NYMAG ^

Posted on 10/18/2020 4:35:52 PM PDT by janetjanet998

The New York Post’s own journalists say they are skeptical of the paper’s stories about Hunter Biden, including the man who wrote most of the “smoking gun” story and would not put his name on it, four newsroom sources told Intelligencer.

On Wednesday morning, the Post dropped what it clearly hoped would be a bombshell — an exclusive report based on copies of emails and photos that had supposedly belonged to Hunter, the son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. The Post said the files were recovered from a computer that belonged to Hunter and was dropped off at a computer-repair shop near the Biden family’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, last spring. From there the files eventually made their way to the Post via Trump consigliere Rudy Giuliani. The Post has not said publicly whether it authenticated the files.

NY Times reporting the same thing

and Jake Tapper of CNN just posted something on it quoting the times

so they are attacking the messenger with 5 day old news about internal NY post discussions

Did they name a source? No and it therefore a lie.

As opposed to the 4 years of the solid dossier scandal.

Very flimsy? Recipients of the emails have verified them. Hunter's lawyer, indirectly, has verified them. The Chicoms, Ukranians have verified them.

Hell, Joe Biden, himself, through his bragging, has verified them. Gee whiz.

There is no question these are authentic.

They have been verified by an independent Investigation in the Senate, and by checking the recipients of the emails.

The other end of the emails matched to the millisecond.

"The Post has not said publicly whether it authenticated the files"

I'm pretty sure the reporters involved in the Biden story have been interviewed stating that the files have been authenticated.

I also think this is a sign that the FBI cannot confirm the laptop or e-mails are Hunters yet, They can’t deny it either

but need more time

they have tipped of their media friends

so the MSM is running stories like this to fog things up

Quid Pro Joe hasn't publicly denied their authenticity, either.

“...an exclusive report based on copies of emails and photos that had supposedly belonged to Hunter...the files eventually made their way to the Post via Trump consigliere Rudy Giuliani.”


Nowhere do they say the emails and photos and computer don’t belong to Hunter, but they slip in the “supposedly” to cast doubt. In fact no one from the Biden campaign has claimed the emails, photos and computer aren’t Hunter’s.

And then there’s the nice ‘consigliere’. And where did most Americans become familiar with the word? Why the Godfather movies, of course. So really the whole story has to be doubted. I don’t think it is going to work as more comes out.

A long time ago I learned how to refute any statement. “It ain’t so!” and “So what?” Right now Biden’s allies are on the first, soon they’ll be on the second.

Anonymously sourced newsroom-malcontent gossip aside, no one has managed to puncture our reporting on the Hunter Files. No one.

Neither Hunter nor Joe denies the drive is real.

Neither denies the inculpating e-mails.

The forgery charge is laughable.

What is “Slag?” Is the writer also one of the cartoonists for B.C. Comics?

If the shopkeeper had sent the Biden files to the NYT, they would have spiked the story. If this were a Trump story, the NYT would have received a copy of the files directly from the FBI.

BTW, The Slimes has lots of good investigative reporters and lots of connected sources, so I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they already checked out the story and ALREADY found what we’re just learning about now ... then deliberately spiked the story to protect Joe

That would be totally consistent behavior for the duplicitous Big Media

BUZZZZZZZZ, to late.

If they were that flimsy, then why did Facebook and Twitter censor them.

They have their anonymous sources.

We have the laptops and data.

I’ll take the laptops and data, thank you.
