The complaints from President Donald Trump and his allies have been growing louder as the election approaches: Why isn’t the mainstream media covering the Hunter Biden laptop story?

Trump and his allies say there is evidence of corruption in emails and documents allegedly found on a laptop belonging to Democrat Joe Biden’s son. They say those and other documents show that Hunter Biden used his father’s influence to enrich himself through business deals in Ukraine and China, and that his father not only facilitated that, but may have benefited financially.

But the Wall Street Journal and Fox News — among the only news organizations that have been given access to key documents — found that the emails and other records don’t make that case. Leaving aside the many questions about their provenance, the materials offered no evidence that Joe Biden played any role in his son’s dealings in China, let alone profited from them, both news organizations concluded.

As to Ukraine, a single email published by the New York Post suggests Joe Biden may have had a meeting with a representative of a Ukrainian company that employed his son. Trump and his allies alleged that means Joe Biden has lied when he said he never discussed his son’s business roles. The Biden campaign denies the meeting happened.

The lack of major new revelations is perhaps the biggest reason the story has not gotten traction, but not the only one. Among others: Most mainstream news organizations, including NBC News, have not been granted access to the documents. NBC News asked by email, text, phone call and certified mail, and was ultimately denied.

What NBC is saying is that it tried to twist the news about Biden corruption into something which would hurt the Americans.

We can all walk proudly into a Chinese death camp knowing that our torture and slaughter allowed Hunter Biden to snort cocaine off some whore’s ass.

Steve Bannon, warroom pandemic, has all the docs and tapes.
Steve invited all media over to look at the docs and listen to tapes.

Every member of fake news turned him down

Now they pretend to care about facts and evidence.

When they want to slam President Trump they just put a fake story in the NYT and everybody uses that as their source.

Freepers frequently post fake news with the "barf alert." It's like saying "get a load of this crap." We like to examine and stay abreast of the tactics and reasoning (lack of) of the Left to better refute their nonsense.

Yeah, "In a story published in the New York Times..., or "In a story published in the Washington Post...", was how many Trump 'scandal' stories started by the networks. I am sure that they poured over the "evidence". Hell, most of their stories involved anonymous sources. They vetted these sources, of course...

And let us not forget the Adam Schiff version of the Ukraine phone call. Yeah, real fact checking there...

The media now realizes that Trump is going to win the election again, and then payback is going to be unleashed.

Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc. are all going to be broken up. The democrat hack news organs will be sued into oblivion.

Death, the destroyer of worlds is coming for them and I will be ecstatic.

What would be the reason a company would hire a dishonorably discharged coke addict for $1M a year, except he just happened to be the son of the then Vice President.

The scandal of the MSM is finally happening....they are now trying their FAKE NEWS on the Biden Crime Family case.....Not once have (any reporters/editors stepped up to the plate to inform Americans) they were being duped by the Deep State, Obama and employed by him, still in the Trump administration and reporting to Obama and the alphabet news reporters as their "silent coup" is not so silently being exposed.

The MSM is responsible for the Democrats electing a corrupt man as their candidate letting many Americans try to vote this corrupt man Joe Biden, into the Oval Office.

Mainstream Meda: “Sure it says big guy, my dad and Joe, but no where does it say Joseph Robenette Biden Jr. Therefore there is not a smidgeon of evidence linking this to Joe Biden!”

Seems like NBC News is crying over spilled milk. Why is it the Daily Mail publishes a story on the laptop based on a subset of the files, while NBC News won’t publish a similar story unless they have access to ALL the files?
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8901193/National-security-nightmare-Hunter-Bidens-laptop.html

According the Daily Mail story and others, there is good reason not to give ALL the files to someone. There are copies of credit cards, passport, social security card, and, possibly child pornography. One could easily commit identity theft with the trove of info on that laptop.
