Brian Stelter Falsely Claims Laptop from Hell ‘Wasn’t’ Labeled Russian Disinformation
Breitbart ^ | 25 Feb 2023 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Brian Stelter on Friday falsely claimed Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop “wasn’t” labeled Russian disinformation by the establishment media after he continually furthered the false narrative as a CNN anchor.

Stelter, who was ousted by CNN and hired by Harvard, was among the numerous media personalities that pushed the false narrative for months. At least 15 media personalities claimed Hunter’s laptop was likely Russian propaganda before New York Times admitted it was authentic in 2022, directly contradicting many in the Democrat-allied media.

“U.S. authorities are seeing if those emails we just talked about are connected to an ongoing Russian disinformation effort,” Stelter said Sunday, Oct. 18, 2020, after emails on the laptop were publicly revealed through Breitbart News’s Emma-Jo Morris, formally at the New York Post. “For all we know, these emails are made up or maybe some are real and others are fakes — we don’t know.”

Many media personalities followed in Stelter’s footsteps. “Good. Russian disinformation meant to harm our democracy shouldn’t be given mainstream platforms,” Daily Beast reporter Wajahat Ali said.

The Mother Jones publication claimed, “Giuliani and the New York Post are pushing Russian disinformation. It’s a big test for the media.” MSNBC’s executive producer, Kyle Griffin, said reporting on the laptop should be censored because the laptop contained disputed disinformation:

The Trump campaign claims Facebook is “censoring journalism” because Facebook plans to limit the spread of the NY Post report. That is not censorship. Facebook is under no obligation to allow a disputed report that appears to contain disinformation to spread on their platform.

Brian Stelter is unaware the internet exists... unaware people can look up clips of him and other other bimbos and pretentious ‘men’ of the press spreading lies... seeing old tapes with their very own eyes. Are the 51 ‘intelligence’ goons and thugs walking back their lies yet?

BACK DURING THE CAMPAIGN:
Leading off the broadcast each day, they would say:

SUNDAY: "51 current and former members of the Intelligence Community say this laptop is Russian disinformation..."

MONDAY: "This week, the laptop that supposedly belonged to Hunter Biden, which was labeled as Russian disinformation by the Intelligence Community..."

TUESDAY: "Material found on the Hunter Biden laptop, which, as described by 51 current and former members of the Intelligence Community, has the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign..."

WEDNESDAY: "The Hunter Biden laptop, which has been characterized as a Russian disinformation activity..."

THURSDAY: "A member of the Intelligence Community said the Russian disinformation found on the Hunter Biden laptop..."

FRIDAY: "Today, the owner of a Delaware computer repair shop said the laptop, which is Russian disinformation according to 51 current and former members of the Intelligence Community..."

SATURDAY: "There is no proof that this laptop, branded as Russian disinformation by 51 current and former members of the Intelligence Community, even belongs to Hunter Biden..."

REPEAT ALL VARIANTS OF THE ABOVE STATEMENTS EVERY FIVE MINUTES DURING EVERY BROADCAST, ON EVERY SHOW.


TODAY:

MEDIA: "WE never labeled it as 'disinformation', we were only reporting the news...It was '51 'current and former members of the "Intelligence Community" that made that assertion. We just reported it.

There are a few things that Leftists are impervious to, things like truth, logic, and respect for the Constitution.

I always forget to add “Shame” to that list.

Stelter was and is nothing but paid whore. What I want to know is what happened to the 51 Johns who put out that fanciful disclaimer he constantly cited.

What is he qualified to do at Harvard besides being hired as “Liar in Chief”?
