You’ve no doubt noticed that stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop and its contents are starting to be reported more. Such stories would have gotten media outlets censored by Big Tech (as happened to the New York Post) for peddling “Russian disinformation if reported ahead of the 2020 presidential election. However, something’s changed, and now the Washington Post, New York Times and many other media outlets are running the story.
The New York Post’s Miranda Devine has noticed though that while the story is getting more exposure, some outlets are trying hard to keep somebody out of it:
Column’s up: The left-wing media finally is reporting on Hunter Biden’s #LaptopFromHell but they’re trying to keep the “Big Guy” out of the story. https://t.co/ebir9ls651

The lib media will have to be dragged kicking and screaming before they agree to try and connect all the dots.
Devine writes…
But despite acknowledging that the material on the laptop showed that Hunter was “trading on his father’s name to make a lot of money,” as CNN White House correspondent John Harwood put it, both the Washington Post and CNN were at pains to absolve Joe Biden of any involvement in the scheme.
“There is zero evidence that Vice President Biden, or President Biden, has done anything wrong in connection with what Hunter Biden has done,” Harwood said.
In Harwood’s defense, it is certainly difficult to find evidence that you’re not looking for.
Devine continues:
The Washington Post declared it “did not find evidence that Joe Biden personally benefited from or knew details about the transactions with [Chinese energy company] CEFC, which took place after he had left the vice presidency and before he announced his intentions to run for the White House in 2020.”
A New York Times piece earlier this month that also belatedly acknowledged that the veracity of the laptop — in the 24th paragraph — did not explicitly exonerate the president but simply rehearsed the legal defenses that Hunter could mount if he is indicted by the Delaware grand jury investigating him over alleged tax evasion, money laundering and violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

If all this was about Trump most certainly these media outlets would be at the “WALLS ARE CLOSING IN” phase of reporting.
Bravo @mirandadevine for dissecting the WAPO “limited hangout” piece. @LeeSmithDC @ggreenwald @MZHemingway @laralogan @SharylAttkisson @kevincorke @brithume @BretBaier @TuckerCarlson

We’ll see where this all leads, if anywhere.
