Ruling - mostly true, needs context. (Fair enough.)

But once context is applied, that is, how the media USED the 51 intel cronies, then it’s 100% true.

Still, that’s a major capitulation for Newsweak. Something’s afoot?

The letter stated that these former intelligence officials, based on their past experience, had serious concerns that the laptop had the potential to be linked to Russian disinformation efforts.

But it also did not make a determination on if the reported contents of the laptop were genuine, and said they had no evidence to link Russia with the story.

But based on that letter, You, Newsweak, and other news outlets suppressed any stories about the laptop and its contents.

Just like Fauci claims “gain of function” does not mean what everyone thinks it means.

More lies, distortions and obfuscation by the communists. Eff Newsweek and their fact-check.

This was one means for suppressing a story that would not have been suppressed if it was Eric Trump’s laptop.

So, they can all stop playing this game of “fact” because we know that the DHS, FBI, DNI, etc are coordinating on a regular basis with the media and tech companies.

They cannot deny it.

Intelligence officials said it could be Russian disinformation. That gave cover for not just Twitter, but all the social media and main stream media to bury the story. Now their defense is they only said “it could be” while the media’s defense is that we were relying on the intelligence experts. Sound familiar? Fauci’s defense is now that he and CDC only recommended everything be shut down but didn’t order anyone to do it. The local governments that shut down the schools and businesses defense is that we were only relying on the health experts. Everything got messed up, our rights were violated, but apparently nobody is to blame. Funny how that game works.

In a real world, this story would go down in required MBA classes describing a classic example of how Fake News was created during the Trump era. It is factual in what the exact words are but is totally fake because of what it DOESN’T include.

For starters, as the first time NewsWeak even writes about this, it implies the laptop story is only about Hunter Biden and Burisma. It completely ignores the fact that it is voluminous proof of rampant corruption in the entire Biden family.

It completely ignores all of the ‘Big Guy’, Joe’s involvement.

It brings up nothing about the ‘wink-wink’ actions that allowed a corrupt media to do exactly what it did - kill the story.

The good news, however small, is that is shows that the corrupt Fake News media can no longer pretend the story doesn’t exist.

Did the 51 intelligence “experts” lie about HB’s laptop? Well, all I know is their official statement had all the earmarks of a calculated lie.

The salient point about the letter, is that it was written and signed/endorsed by “51 former ‘intelligence’ officials of the federal government” in the first place. Try finding another time in our election history when a letter of this magnitude was offered, not solicited, to support one presidential candidate.

And how nice for Newsweek to voluntarily “fact check” the claims regarding the letter. Maybe Newsweek should have done it’s own investigation of the laptop from hell, along with a “fact check” of the letter and Joe Biden’s use of it.

With less than three weeks until the Republicans take control of HoR, they’ve added themselves to the list of other MSM outlets circling the wagon for the Bidens and this group of 51 former ‘intelligence’ officials . . .
