The media’s primary mission isn’t to inform, or to hold the powerful
accountable, as it once did, but to ensure that Joe Biden gets reelected.

EDITED .....Nick Shapiro, a former top aide under CIA director John Brennan, provided POLITICO with the now notorious signed letter, insistently noting, “the 51 intel leaders who signed this worked for the past four presidents, including Trump.......and indicates the number of former, working-level intel officers who want the American people to know that once again the Russians are interfering.”
<><>The sub rosa purpose of the signed letter was to boost candidate Biden.....several of the 51 signers had publicly endorsed Biden......all blithely reported by the deceitful media
<><> Aiding and abetting the scheme, The New York Times actually raised questions about the rigor of the Post’s reporting, casting doubt on the Post’s reporting of Hunter’s salacious laptop.
<><>However, the NYP stood by its astute, detailed, groundbreaking reporting.
<><>The media kept sucking-up as the wily Hunter cravenly denied that the abandoned laptop was actually his, despite incontrovertible truth to the contrary.
The widely reported bogus collusion story, financed by Hillary, was shrewdly designed to mimic 2016, when Russian hackers dumped troves of emails from Democrats onto the internet — producing few damaging revelations - but calculatedly fueling accusations of so-called “corruption” by Trump.
While back in 2020 there had been no immediate indications of Russian involvement, the general thrust advanced by the media was intended to aid and abet a “Get Trump” narrative.
The media kiss-up included reports about US intel agencies obsessively insisting there was “an active Russian disinformation effort aimed at denigrating Biden’s candidacy.”
