Unprecedented efforts to squelch information about a New York Post story may prove to be more dangerous corruption than whatever Hunter Biden did with a crooked Ukrainian energy company.
The incredible decision by Twitter and Facebook to block access to a New York Post story about a cache of emails reportedly belonging to Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s son Hunter, with Twitter going so far as to lock the 200 year-old newspaper out of its own account for over a week, continues to be a major underreported scandal.
The hypocrisy is mind-boggling. Imagine the reaction if that same set of facts involved the New York Times and any of its multitudinous unverifiable “exposes” from the last half-decade: from the similarly-leaked “black ledger” story implicating Paul Manafort, to its later-debunked “repeated contacts with Russian intelligence” story, to its mountain of articles about the far more dubious Steele dossier. Internet platforms for years have balked at intervening at many other sensational “unverified” stories, including ones called into question in very short order:

The flow of information in the United States has become so politicized – bottlenecked by an increasingly brazen union of corporate press and tech platforms – that it’s become impossible for American audiences to see news about certain topics absent thickets of propagandistic contextualizing. Try to look up anything about Burisma, Joe Biden, or Hunter Biden in English, however, and you’re likely to be shown a pile of “fact-checks” and explainers ahead of the raw information:

Other true information has been scrubbed or de-ranked, either by platforms or by a confederation of press outlets whose loyalty to the Democratic Party far now overshadows its obligations to inform.

They seem to think they can “keep a lid on it” for about 4 more years.
When you’ve lost Matt Taibbi (Rolling Stone) you are in trouble.
Same operation they ran to squelch any mention of Obama not being a natural born citizen.
They haven’t come up with a catchy Alinsky slogan like “birhter” yet, though.
The media went through Kavanaughs high school year book
They’ve dissected Trump’s entire life all just to try and find a crime
There’s proof of countless crimes on Hunter’s laptop that’s been corroborated and the media suddenly doesn’t care?
Taibbi may be a Lefty but at least he’s intellectually honest when it comes to journalistic integrity and free speech.
They seem to think they can “keep a lid on it” for about 4 more years.
Why not? Lindsay Graham hates POTUS every bit as much as Schumer does. The GOP has spent the last four years aiding and abetting the ongoing coup. They’ll do the same in Trump’s second term.

Exactly my first thought on seeing the byline.
Too many people are focusing on Hunter. And therefore these scandals really have no effect on “The Big Guy.”
Until they read on to see that the CCP has compromising intel not just on Hunter; but on Joe Biden himself.
The bigger issue here is obvious. Joe Biden is a security risk.
At his Allentown rally today Trump was playing clips of Joe saying over-the-top ass-kissing stuff about China.
I think that’s a hint that the other shoe is about to drop.
Imagine if this was a Trump family member.
The FOIA applies only to GOVERNMENT records.
Not to the files of private companies.
If they did Tom Fitton could just request the secret formula for Coca-Cola and retire.
I agree. The Hunter story suppression is a watershed moment emblazoning transparent media and Big Tech bias in the minds of most thinking folks in the US....which, I guess, excludes partisan Democrats.
is anyone keeping score for hunter biden’s “conquests”?
Glenn Greenwald is another on that short list.
Neah. Just two more weeks.
Once he’s in, he’ll have to resign for health reasons leaving Kamala Harris president.
Most Americans were unaware that FDR was confined to a wheelchair. The media covered for him.
The media will always provide cover for those they support.
The media would not dream of reporting on anything that has not been fully verified. Meanwhile, Trump doesn't pay any taxes, he cavorts with prostitutes in Moscow, and colludes with Putin to steal US elections. I read it in the paper. [/s]
