Per the article:

Over the course of 14 months, the Chinese energy conglomerate, CEFC China Energy, and its executives paid $4.8 million to entities controlled by Hunter Biden and his uncle. Joe’s 10% take from that deal — $480,000 — cash!

Then there’s Burisma. Hunter Biden received $1 million per year for five years for a no-show job. He was paid in monthly installments of $83,333.33. According to Reuters, “Biden never visited Ukraine for company business during that time.” Joe’s cut — $500,000 — cash.

Then there’s the $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, the richest woman in Russia and the widow of Yury Luzhkov, the former mayor of Moscow. The Big Guy only cleared $300,000 on that one.

At the time, the media’s “fact checkers” dismissed these revelations as disinformation, calling it “laptop stuff.”

This article is corruption in the media.

I’d understand it if the article referenced an Independent Press following the Society of Professional Journalist’s Code of Ethics https://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp.

...but it is naive to believe for a second the Media is anything but a political tool specializing in infomercials and ad copy for their client.

There is big money in being a spokesperson like Don Lemon or Chuck Todd, no different than the Sham Wow or Flex Seal guy hosting long segments selling assumptions instead of gadgets.

From this day forward Don Lemon shall be referred to as The Flex Seal Guy and Chuck Todd as The Sham Wow Guy.

So it shall be written. So it shall be done.
