The New York Times doctored what Hunter Biden said, leaving out one very important key word…

The New York Times is at it again with its dissemination of fake news. This isn’t just another accidentally incorrect story, like so many before, or their “Pulitzer prize-winning” fake Russia hoax stories; this time, they’re actively altering quotes, presumably to shield Joe Biden. This latest fake news scandal comes on the heels of a recent Gallup poll that highlighted a historic low in American trust in the fake news legacy media.

Axios:

American’s trust in media has fallen to a historic low, according to new polling from Gallup.

Why it matters: Trust in media had previously dropped to 32% in 2016 before rebounding slightly. Those gains have essentially been wiped out, according to the poll.

Details: Only 32% of the population reports having “a great deal” or “a fair amount” of confidence that the media reports the news in a full, fair and accurate way.

The only other time in recent history that trust has fallen to 32% was in 2016.

📉 In some cases, the sentiment is worse today.

A record-high number of Americans (39%), say they don’t trust the media at all. That number has steadily increased since 2018.

...

The most frustrating part of all this is how the left, along with their cohorts in the media, are eagerly establishing these phony “disinformation watch groups” like Media Matters and NewsGuard. They use these platforms to eagerly point fingers at others, while they themselves degrade journalism with falsehoods, manipulated edits, and blatant lies. It’s almost too easy for them to spread fake news while masquerading as the last bastion of truth. It’s a perfect disguise, isn’t it? It’s like an arsonist leading a “fire safety” seminar.

So, what’s the latest from the New York Times? They’ve altered a quote from Hunter Biden, removing a rather intriguing word: financial—and yes, it could make a very big difference in a lot of people’s minds.

...

This is so bad. @nytimes doctored what Hunter said today, leaving out the key word. Wow.

NYT: “Let me state as clearly as I can: My father was not involved in my business.”

Hunter: “Let me state as clearly as I can: My father was not *financially* involved in my business.”

......the whole Biden administration is 1984:
<><>the Reality Show with doublethink,
<><>history rewrites,
<><>endless wars against Eurasia with Eastasia in the wings
<><>imprisonment for illegal thoughts and speech
<><>and a general 2+2=5 world......


Beautiful.

So the guy gifts Hunter a few million and it costs him ONLY 18k in taxes, not bad. Talk about easy money laundering.

The 2024 gift tax limit is $18,000.

That doesn’t sound right.

If I ‘gift’ my sister $30,000, she doesn’t have to pay any taxes on it?.....................

“Having to parse every sentence so that they can claim it was truthful”

We saw this cultural rot with the DeSantis “participation” silliness.

That is the total gift, not just the taxes. You can gift up to 18,000 tax free. I like gifts by the way.

But the sticker is there are forms to be filled which most do not.

Note that NONE of the states where The Hunter evaded taxes - including the notoriously grabby state of California - is making a peep about the Biden tax evasions at the state level.

Joe can’t pardon Hunter for state tax evasion, so none dare charge him without that escape hatch.

To be fair, most states let IRS due the leg work for them. After IRS has made their determination, they jump on the band wagon.

They now say MAGA like it’s a pejorative. We should always remind them it stands for Make America Great Again. Let them know that if they are an enemy of America, they are YOUR enemy. Treat them accordingly.

True.

HOWEVER - if this was Eric Trump or Donald Trump Jr, the Democrat Media would be working this angle as hard as they could.

They'd be putting in 48 hour days, 14 days a week on the story.

Finding spinning the facts to be indequate, the NYT has moved to materially altering them. Upside: the NYT just admitted that Hunter’s Clintonian “tell” gave away the game.

They don’t even try to hide it. Now that the courts have made it clear that the Rat Party can steal elections with impunity why should they bother?

Yup-——even Cali...... where Newsome will send you a tax bill every year....
even if you got a flat tire driving through and stopped at a Cali gas station.
