REWIND: CNN Wouldn't Admit, or Even Check If Hunter's Laptop Was Real; It Was a Russian Plot!
Newsbusters ^ | September 26, 2021 | P.J. Gladnick

With Politico's incredibly belated "revelation" about the validity of the 2020 New York Post stories about Hunter Biden's laptop, it is interesting to look back at the sheer desperation on the part of much of the media to discredit that story as Russian disinformation. Among the most amusing of the "legacy media" to memory hole that story in coordination with Twitter, Facebook, and much of the social media was CNN.

One amazing example was CNN/PBS anchor Christiane Amanpour being openly contemptuous as she interviewed President Donald Trump's spokesperson Liz Harrington, as NB's Tim Graham reported at the time. It's not hard to imagine CNN president Jeffrey Zucker screaming into her earpiece to get the discussion off that taboo Hunter Biden laptop story.

I am amused by the social and mainstream media obsession with "misinformation" or "disinformation" when they are the biggest purveyors of it. Not only the Hunter Biden story but the fact that there were supposedly NO FBI undercover on January 6 at the Capitol "insurrection" in which an unarmed crowd was invited inside by the Capitol Police. Now the NY Times is grudgingly admitting that there was ONE, just ONE, FBI informant there. Wait a little while and we will find out there were actually MORE, much MORE than merely the one we have been belatedly told about.

We, the people, MUST STOP regurgitating words from screwy lefties.

Jan 6 was not an “insurrection”.......it was an “open house”.......... entertain and inform the people who pay the bills.

Interesting to look back at the sheer media desperation to discredit the salacious Hunter Biden laptop story as simply “Russian disinformation”......

.......going so far as to bury it ........ as craven CNN president Jeffrey Zucker did.........

And when they helped a blithering idiot become president, CNN, and the rest, aided and abetted the Afghanistan debacle, the slaughter of 13 American military men.......not to mention endangering those Americans Biden left behind.

will always say it is the republicans fault, they helped them get rid of trump. We always knew what the rats were all about and capable of but the devious despicable republicans were telling us one thing and did another. They need to be handled first before we go after the criminal rats

CNN sucks. You know that, right?

CNN’s not a news organization - they’re a part of the propaganda arm of the democrat party. History will not be kind to these folks.

History is written by the victors. The communists are the victors, and after the 'baby-boomers' die off,
only the sycophantic millennials and the generation [-]s will be left to read and tell the tale of communist
conquest.

What communist are celebrated today? Not even Stalin or Lenin are ‘celebrated’ in Russia. Russians are smarter than that.

And in Cuba - do you really think Castro is a hero? He’s not. History is not kind to thugs... even thought they think it will be because they write the ‘immediate’ history... a contradiction in terms...

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Bysshe Shelley

It Was a Russian Plot

The problem is that:

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN INSURRECTION!

And to think that all those “intelligence” experts even went so far to denounce this as Russia misinformation and write a public letter; including the usual suspects. And all along it was true. I would not trust those folks with anything.
