Well, at least they didn't try the 'Evil Twin' story..................

With only two weeks to go before the election, the reality of what’s going on behind the scenes in terms of the Hunter Biden email scandal has become too obvious to ignore. The liberal media can’t afford to have a story that’s potentially damaging to Joe Biden’s candidacy making the rounds so a full-blown blackout is being attempted. But since the question has finally been asked by a reporter from the alphabet networks, Biden’s most strident media accomplices are trying desperately to cloud the issue like a cat flinging sand over its latest business in the litterbox.
One of the latest examples of this trend comes to us from Mediaite, where Colby Hall throws out the claim that Fox News initially passed on the Hunter Biden email story over “credibility concerns.”
Mediaite has learned that Fox News was first approached by Rudy Giuliani to report on a tranche of files alleged to have come from Hunter Biden’s unclaimed laptop left at a Delaware computer repair shop, but that the news division chose not to run the story unless or until the sourcing and veracity of the emails could be properly vetted.
That makes for a great headline if you’re trying to throw cold water all over the story, but given the full context of what’s been revealed since then, it’s a non-news item. Of course Fox News didn’t run with the story as soon as Giuliani served it up. Something that inflammatory showing up a few weeks before the election couldn’t simply be dumped out to the public without checking into it. But people did check and have since found two people copied on some of the emails who verified their authenticity. Then they reported on it with that supporting testimony to back it up.
In another example, we have the Daily Beast pointing out that the FBI is still investigating the Russia angle, “contradicting Trump’s intel Czar.”
The FBI is investigating the purloined laptop materials from Joe Biden’s son as part of a possible foreign disinformation operation, a congressional source told The Daily Beast—an investigation at odds with a statement from President Trump’s director of national intelligence.
Once again we see another great headline and lede paragraph for the Biden campaign. They’re clearly trying to cast doubt on the authenticity of the emails, hinting at Russian election meddling and making it look like something the Trump administration cooked up. But just as with the Mediaite story, you don’t have to read much further to discover the truth.
Obviously the FBI is investigating it. The allegation was made and they had to look into it. But if they’d found anything tying the laptop to the Russians we’d probably have heard about it by now. I’ll even concede that it’s still possible that some bad actors, be they foreign or domestic, could theoretically have been involved in making the contents of Hunter Biden’s hard drive available as some sort of oppo project. But at the end of the day, the only real question is whether or not the emails are real and if they were composed by Hunter Biden. Neither Hunter nor his father’s campaign has once tried to deny the authenticity of the emails. And the previously mentioned confirmation offered by other recipients of the messages pretty much seals the deal.
Does that mean all of the blackouts and aspersions being cast at this story are going to go away? Of course not. The game plan is fully in place and the mainstream media can’t afford to back down now. Everyone has to lash themselves to the mast and ride out this storm until they drag Sleepy Joe Biden’s carcass across the finish line. Unfortunately, there’s not much that the rest of us can do about it since Biden’s supporters control such a massive share of the news media market.
Fox just produced a repair slip signed by Hunter and a copy of the FBI subpoena. I think their “credibility concerns” are past them.
Does anyone who isn’t already voting for Biden know about this story?

Lowinfo Voters don’t know nuffin’.....................
They are done and are going to get crushed by the Patriot War Machine!!
Given the timing it doesn’t matter how outlandish or preposterous the counter-argument is, they will do anything just to muddy the waters until Nov 3. I even saw the ridiculous rape allegations against president Trump from a few years ago being revived on Yahoo today.
There’s a Russian agent who looks just like a drunken Hunter Biden, has his handwriting and created numerous deep-fake videos and phony emails and dropped a laptop filled with them off at a computer repair place in a master-stroke of disinformation. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
The more they talk about it, the clearer it is to Giuliani which shoe should be the next one to drop, destroying their new narrative. He appears to have lots of shoes. Lose lose for them.
He’s got 30,000+ shoes..................
It’s a great time for a low level reporter on a leftist outlet to hit biden hard and get picked up by a conservative outlet.
Write an expose on how the leftist msm is covering for biden.
He’ll either have a new career on right wing websites or he’ll be buried early next week :)
“Does anyone who isn’t already voting for Biden know about this story?”
This all won’t change anyone’s mind. Biden voters had their TV tell them orange man bad. They have no options, they must vote against orange man.
Well, at least they didn't try the 'Evil Twin' story..................
It's a family of mob corruption and they're defiantly tied in as an “asset’ for China....which makes them a National Security Risk..which they have been and are. Joe Bidens relationship with China while VP and after is a breathtaking study....I've been at it all day and it's mindboggling the affairs of the Biden family worldwide....going wayback decades.

This freaking video should be played non-freaking-stop. the money quotes start at 1:25 or so https://www.rt.com/news/159588-east-ukraine-shale-deposits/
They need to confirm/authenticate it once and for all OR the moderator will pull a Candy Crowley when Trump brings it up and shout him down saying it's an unproven smear against her candidate Biden.
They are waiting too long for the “Big drop”
should have done it yesterday
The Guardian (UK) already put out an article completely dismissively about the revelations as if it was pure hoax, and NY Post should be ashamed for posting such a laughable farse.
I wonder how they are going to backpedal from that
