In October 2020 when news of Hunter Biden's infamous laptop broke, which contained salacious details about his close business partnership with his father Joe Biden, National Public Radio quickly worked to bury the story. In fact, the outlet issued a lengthy explanation about why the laptop was a "non-story" and "waste of time," despite receiving millions of dollars in taxpayer funding each year through as series of federal grants.

Why haven't you seen any stories from NPR about the NY Post's Hunter Biden story? Read more in this week's newsletter➡️ https://tinyurl.com/y67vlzj2
Now, thanks to Elon Musk, we know exactly why NPR refused to cover the story. They knew it was coming and planned damage control with the FBI.

30. Efforts continued to influence Twitter's Yoel Roth.
In Sept 2020, Roth participated in an Aspen Institute “tabletop exercise” on a potential "Hack-and-Dump" operation relating to Hunter Biden
The goal was to shape how the media covered it — and how social media carried it

Does everyone realize we live in East Germany at this point?
Pretty much true.
See January 6th.
Can somebody translate this for me? I can see that NPR participated in the cover up, but I still don’t know why.
Defund those Aholes.
To help Joe steal the election.
Soros journolisyers
We are the new Soviet Union. This country is over. That is why I am at the point of let’s just accelerate the collapse of this bloated mess.
“Can somebody translate this for me? I can see that NPR participated in the cover up, but I still don’t know why.”

You mean besides the fact that NPR is dependent on Big Government for their funding, and therefore beholden to their liberal globalist God-mocking agenda?
Hell, if the Lame Street Media just echoes the Democratic talking points why should we be surprised when the tax payer funded NPR does the same?
They don’t even try to hide it now. The regime displays the insolence of defiant, unaccountable rulers.
I feel the same way.
The headline says “We now know why” — well, I knew more than 20 years ago that NPR was a shill for the Democrat Far-Left Extremists. Nothing new there.
This article, I think, implies a specific trigger event which caused NPR to pay special attention to the cover-up of Hunter Biden’s laptop. Sure, NPR’s basic motivation is clear enough. But what was the specific trigger?
I’m hoping to see an email from a top FBI official to a top NPR official saying, “This laptop thing could be bad for us. We need you to squash this. Top priority. The Big Guy will be most appreciative.”
Sure, they wouldn’t be quite that explicit, but as it stands I don’t see the reason “We now know” why NPR called it a non-story.
NPR:
Nazi Propaganda Radio..................
For the same reason that the ASLU and SPLC do the same sort of commie trash crappola.
Geesh.
NPR is our taxpayer-funded Communist news network. I used to lsten to my local classical music station which was affiliated with NPR, but Sirrius radio allowed me to listen to classical without ravings by idiots like Terry Gross.
Try WCPE, broadcasting from North Carolina. You can listen online at theclassicalstation.org, or get the free app for your phone. NO NEWS!
I believe the powers that be have made a calculated and accurate guess that they can now pull this stuff over, with the “in your face” attitude.
What should have been the mother of all scandals, the Obama administration and virtually all his departments, were directly or indirectly involved with using government resources to spy on it’s political opponents. Look at how that was handled. It was denied, then proven. Then it wasn’t “wire tapping” because the spooks didn’t actually “wire tap” the phones, just used the CIA and FBI to hack communications. And, thanks to the Democrats and the willing MSM, the whole story got whitewashed - right before our eyes.
With control of the Senate and Executive Branch in the hands of the Democrats and the MSM, no matter what is exposed by the House Republicans and conservative media, nothing will ever happen.
Nothing . . .
So the Deep State prebunked NPR via the Aspen Institute?
NPR fun ding should cease as of midnight 12/24/2022.
