The New York Post’s front-page article about Hunter Biden on Wednesday was written mostly by a staff reporter who refused to put his name on it, two Post employees said.
Bruce Golding, a reporter at the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid since 2007, did not allow his byline to be used because he had concerns over the article’s credibility, the two Post employees said, speaking on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation.
Coming late in a heated presidential campaign, the article suggested that Joe Biden had used his position to enrich his son Hunter when he was vice president. The Post based the story on photos and documents the paper said it had taken from the hard drive of a laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden.
Many Post staff members questioned whether the paper had done enough to verify the authenticity of the hard drive’s contents, said five people with knowledge of the tabloid’s inner workings. Staff members also had concerns about the reliability of its sources and its timing, the people said.
As deadline approached, editors pressed staff members to add their bylines to the story - and at least one aside from Golding refused, two Post journalists said. A Post spokeswoman had no comment on how the article was written or edited.
Headlined “BIDEN SECRET E-MAILS,” the article appeared Wednesday with two bylines: Emma-Jo Morris, a deputy politics editor who joined the paper after four years at the Murdoch-owned Fox News, and Gabrielle Fonrouge, a Post reporter since 2014.
Morris did not have a bylined article in The Post before Wednesday, a search of its website showed. She arrived at the tabloid in April after working as an associate producer on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show, according to her LinkedIn profile.

Kinda like the pot calling the kettle black. Except this scandal has veracity.
Katie rights like she wrote this nonsense with crayons whilst sitting in the corner twirling her curls

Oops. ‘writes’
Chop Suey!
NYSlimes and another world famous...anonymous source.
Emails and pictures as proof, but someone without a name, says don't believe your own eyes.
Then shittyshiff claims that Russia is behind the laptop, and it's is Groundhog Day, circa 2016 all over again.
Is Bill Murray gonna play the lead again?
If the Post ran a similar smear job on every fake NYT article and published it as “news” they’d have to cut down 1,000,000 trees every day.
They have master degrees in spinning.
By the end of the week every damn media outlet is going to be eating crow.
They will spin it buts too late.
NYT uses two “anonomous sources” to attack credibilty of a story that is based on tangible evidemce that real reporters are following up and checking.
Yeah, we’ve gone over this.
1) pics and videos of Hunter
2) Hunter’s lawyer demanded the computer back recently
3) names dates and places match Hunter and this has been corroborated by outside sources such as Hunter’s former business partner
And.....the racist NY Times??? If there is any publication that has no credibility after having knowingly pushed false stories that lacked any sort of corroboration literally for years, it is the racist NY Times.
If Hunter Biden was receiving favors from a foreign Government because his father was the Vice President, and Hunter was kicking back payments to Joe, it would seem that a case can be made to prosecute Joe Biden under the emoluments clause.
