NewsGuard Calls Rumble ‘Hoax Central’ After NewsGuard CEO Called Hunter Biden Laptop a ‘Hoax’
NewsBusters ^ | 11/4/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

Leftist internet traffic cop NewsGuard is in no position to be throwing around the “hoax” label when its own CEO tried to dismiss the Hunter Biden laptop scandal as a “hoax.” It's a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.

NewsGuard released a new self-serving report headlined: “Making YouTube Look Good: Rumble Becomes Hoax Central Ahead of the Midterms.” NewsGuard's primary complaint was that Rumble doesn’t abide by NewsGuard’s leftist ratings system like censorship-obsessed YouTube does: “In search results, Rumble pushes twice as many sites rated untrustworthy by NewsGuard as YouTube,” which is laughable in the face of a December 2021 MRC study that showed outlets rated “left” or “lean left” by AllSides getting an average NewsGuard score of 93/100, while sites that AllSides considered “right” or “lean right” scored an abysmal average NewsGuard rating of 66/100.

This is the same NewsGuard whose CEO Steven Brill claimed before the 2020 elections that the Hunter Biden laptop scandal reported by the New York Post was a Russian “hoax.” The New York Times and others would later verify the authenticity of the laptop’s contents.

Not surprising coming from a U.S. government-linked organization.

“Who is NewsGuard?”

Joe Lauria gives a pretty informative rundown....

It’s always strange to see people denounce “conspiracy theories” when they were the ones who yammered on endlessly about “Russian collusion”, “Russian bounties on GIs in Afghanistan”, “Stormy Daniels”, the Emoluments Clause, and Ukrainegate”, “hands up don’t shoot”, “Jussie Smollet”, “the Covington Kids”, and a host of other “conspiracy theories”.

And they’re still doing it with their “Christian Nationalism”, “white supremacy”, “white privilege”, “threat to democracy” on and on, they just move from one lie or set of lies to another set of lies without missing a beat.

Watched “Blow” again last night.

That character is hard to take seriously. Though a drug-addled homosexual is probably just about ideal casting.

They know all too well that a real conservative president in 2024 would order the DOJ to release the contents of the Hunter files. They can’t let that happen no matter what. There is no limit what they will do to prevent that.

release the contents of the Hunter files.

So... do you already know the contents of these "files"?

Is something stopping you from "exposing" this clearly critical information?

What's the hold up?
