Yesterday, Ed pointed out that, according to a new book published by a Politico reporter, the core of the Hunter Biden laptop story was true. Specifically, reporter Ben Schreckinger was able to verify that several of the emails which were the focus of articles published last year by the New York Post were indeed accurate and were not, as was widely claimed at the time, the product of Russian disinformation. Ed concluded that piece by pointing to some tweets by Glenn Greenwald who was arguing that the decision to block the NY Post‘s reporting by claiming they were part of a foreign disinformation was a kind of combined operation between the CIA and the media.
Today, Greenwald released an hour-long video and a lengthy post on Substack in which he walks through the remarkable lies and media censorship that took place last year. You might imagine that an hour-long video would include a lot of rambling over the same points but that’s not the case. It just takes an hour to go through all the evidence even moving at a fairly good pace. It’s one of the most egregious widespread abandonments of journalistic principles in recent history and there’s not a bit of doubt that the whole thing happened for one reason: To protect Joe Biden from accurate claims weeks before an election.

I highly recommend everyone take the time, about an hour and seven minutes, to listen to Greenwald’s video.
The corporate media, Big Tech, CIA and other intelligences conspired to censor any information that put Joe Biden in a bad light. The ease with which all these actors lied and lied repeatedly is alarming.
Ben Screckinger’s book the Bidens confirms all your worst fears. The fact that he is a journalist from Politico will make it difficult to ignore. He is a real reporter.
Liberals remind me of a Mad Max prison scene where the leader trash talks to his peeps. The more trashy he gets, the more they like it.
