Owned: Journalist who'd never claim to have incriminating details on a presidential candidate hit with flashback

As you know by now, Twitter is preventing people from posting links to the New York Post’s story on Hunter Biden and his emails, because the link has been determined by one of Twitter’s partners (the Biden campaign) “as being potentially harmful.”

This is a Big Tech information coup. This is digital civil war.

I, an editor at The New York Post, one of the nation’s largest papers by circulation, can’t post one of our own stories that details corruption by a major-party presidential candidate, Biden. pic.twitter.com/BKNQmAG19H

Rick Newman, a writer for Yahoo Finance, thought he’d do some virtue signaling by saying his editors would never let him publish a story as flimsy as the Post’s, and he’d never claim to have incriminating details on a presidential candidate without seeking comment first.

I am a writer @YahooFinance

My editors would never let me publish a story as flimsy as that one

And I would never claim to have incriminating details on a presidential candidate if I didn't seek comment from him first

Yeah, same guy. Wonder if he reached out to President Trump for comment before publishing that rock-solid piece of journalism.

Absolutely savage

If youre going to throw tomatoes, dont be surprised when watermelons come your way if dubbed a hypocrite and a hack, which you clearly are. A finance "expert" writing about Russian collusion…..youre that dense that you saw nothing odd about that?

OK … here it is, straight from the burn ward:

Yep that's me

No mention of Steele dossier or "collusion"

Focus on Trump's biz interests in Russia which are well-established.

Read the story you'll learn something

It’s sad that you think your conspiracies are somehow more valid than others’

"Ah yes, you see, I merely implied and inferred the conspiracy! I definitely didn't write that article to propagate or further the conspiracy!"

Post a link to that article please. Gonna fact check his work.

Is this the same guy, tweeting, “Hmmm sounding more like conspiracy” about the Russian collusion hoax? “Make Russia Great Again!” On what reporting did he base that tweet?

We don’t recall Facebook or Twitter censoring his piece, so it must have been rock-solid with unimpeachable sources. Newman does know that Yahoo News is the outlet the FBI used for circular reporting to confirm its own leaks in the Russian collusion hoax, right?
