“Red flags abound in a story about Hunter Biden that provides fodder for President Trump and his allies,” reads the tweet from National Public Radio. NPR’s David Folkenflik writes that “the New York Post’s claims about Biden relied on Steve Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, and a heavy dose of assumptions.” A heavy dose of assumptions and red flags didn’t seem to slow down NPR or any of the left-wing media when President Trump was accused of colluding with the Russians to swing the 2016 election, though. Imagine how quickly the Russia story would have died off if reporters didn’t rely on assumptions and leaks from hostile parties.
A “New York Post” story about Hunter Biden was marked more by red flags than investigative rigor. https://t.co/cmglQUbNMf

NPR speaking to “investigative rigor”. That’s rich! ?

This is why the American people don't consider you a credible news source. Why you should be defunded.

I look forward to the thorough NPR investigation to get to the bottom of this.

That would involve “reporting”; this is just “analysis” of other people’s reporting.
Weird, because no one from NPR has bothered to ask Hunter if it's his laptop

Has @NPR talked with the computer repair shop technician?

Disgraceful that you have no journalistic interest in real corruption.

FAITHFUL UTOPIANS SHOULD PAY NO ATTENTION TO A SUPER CONFUSING VALIDATION PROCESS THAT RELIES ON THIS STRANGE THING CALLED "EVIDENCE."

Allegations resting on supposition…and actual confirmed emails.

"To start, the emails have not been verified as authentic. "
FBI has had emails since Dec 2019. If they are not valid why is the FBI silent on the issue. How NPR continues to receive taxpayer $$ is shameful. They are as much deep state as deep state. Joined at the hip.— JK (@findit89) October 17, 2020
Biden's campaign has yet to deny anything in the stories.

You realize that your "analysis" of the red flags is much more about the sources than the material, right? The allegations dont "rest on speculation & assumption," but on actual written words. The only question should be "are they real." Real journalists would want to know.

“To start, the emails have not been verified as authentic. They were said to have been extracted from a computer assumed — but not proven”
This isn’t that difficult @NPR !
ASK THEM !
It’s literally that simple?

What information in the emails is in dispute?

Why can't NPR ask Hunter Biden!
— drift (@drift11911441) October 17, 2020
Hey, @NPR ! You employ journalists. Why don't you start by asking Biden if the emails are real and if the laptop was Hunter's?

Put Yamiche Alcindor on the case — she’ll get to the bottom of it.
It's not being denied, but NPR is not believing it. What the hell is that?

It’s now got more corroboration than the Steele dossier, Russian collusion hoax and any story from the kavanaugh hearings.

Remember: Trump got impeached for asking Ukraine to look into what Hunter and "the big guy" did.
