Wow. Who could have guessed.
Nothing to see here, move along.
WTF is she talking about?
============
My problem with Hunter Biden’s laptop is I think totally irrelevant,” she said. “I mean it’s not whether it’s disinformation or I mean I don’t think the – Hunter Biden’s business relationships have anything to do with who should be president of the United States.”
She added, “So, I didn’t – I don’t find it to be interesting. I mean that would be my problem with that as a major news story.”
Applebaum’s answer raises several difficult questions.
First, is she under the impression the laptop story involves only Hunter Biden?
Is she not aware that emails and related documents suggest Hunter Biden may serve (or may have served) as a bagman for his father, leveraging the Biden name to funnel cash into the family’s coffers? Does she not see the news value in documents suggesting the president’s son may have used his father’s position in the federal government to enrich both himself and other family members?
Does she not see the news value in the fact Hunter Biden’s overseas business activities, which may lead all the way back to the president, are under FBI investigation?
Does she not see the news value in the corporate press backtracking on its bogus “Russian disinformation” consensus?
One would think a speaker at the “Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy” conference would find all of this incredibly interesting.
What, exactly, does Applebaum, a supposed expert on disinformation and democracy, find “interesting”? Let’s review some of her previous headlines:
“The MyPillow guy really could destroy democracy.”
“Laura Ingraham’s descent into despair.”
Uh-huh.
On Wednesday, CBS News reported at least 150 transactions involving either Hunter or James Biden’s global business affairs were flagged as concerning by U.S. banks for further review.
