Hunter Biden laptop bombshell: Twitter invented reason to censor Post’s reporting

I think the most important question we can answer from the laptop is

How good is Hunter at Counter Strike?

Republicans will swear to you he's MUCH better at The Godfather.

You can believe them when they said it was Hunter Biden's laptop.
The NY Times quickly verified that on March 17. 2022.
Less than two years after the Post story.

Bullshit.

No paper owned by the Murdoch family can be trusted.

The laptop story is reich-wing bullshit designed to distract the world from Trump and his terrorist group.
 
I did some searching and there is Very little in specifics, otehr then Devines book (which i don t read)
but here is the basics - im sure there is more and it needs to be fleshed out .I imagine Congressional hearings would do that
~~
The laptop details Hunter’s involvement with a Ukrainian natural-gas producer that paid him millions of dollars to serve on its board — the relationship at the center of Donald Trump’s first impeachment. It shows how a Chinese energy company directed millions of dollars in consulting fees to Hunter and his uncle. It reveals White House meetings and slush-fund dinners and wheeling and dealing, from Romania to Monte Carlo to Cafe Milano. Most important, these people claim the laptop contains proof that, despite his denials, Joe Biden — allegedly referred to in emails as “the big guy” — was fully aware of, and looking to profit from, his son’s business activities.

i lost the link. i did some searching and there is very little point by point descriptions of the events.
remember the MS media won't touch it, and the FBI has suppressed coverage..
Like I said we'll get details after Congress holds hearings

While I agree that Hunter Biden is a crap human being, and that Joe Biden probably did some shady things (politician). The laptop is kind of crap, you can verify some of the information contained within, (why wasn't this done in 2019?) a large portion is not able to be verified because of who the other people are.

They can do the investigations but I think this will just make the GOP look petty when they are already taking hits in popularity.

You are really committed to the lie, aren't you?



"Indeed, some people have highlighted the fact that the government gets “special treatment” in having its flags reviewed. But, from people I’ve spoken to, that actually goes against the “1st Amendment violation!” argument, because many social media companies set up special systems for government agents not to enable “moar censorship!” but because they know they have to be extra vigilant in reviewing those requests so as not to take down content mistakenly based on a government request.

So, sorry, so far there appears to be no government intrusion, and certainly no 1st Amendment violation."

Keep selling the lie. By the way, who was President in the fall of 2020, when the Hunter Biden laptop thing first came out?

I think I saw that Mike Masnick kid collecting shopping carts for Walmart in their parking lot. Is that how you know him?

Deflecting does not help.

Nothing printed by the NYP is reliable or believable. No media outlet owned by the Murdoch family is a reliable news outlet.

Your denial doesn't change that.
 
The explanation is quite length, but from an insider, clear as day:

Hello! You’ve Been Referred Here Because You’re Wrong About Twitter And Hunter Biden’s Laptop

Hello! Someone has referred you to this post because you’ve said something quite wrong about Twitter and how it handled something to do with Hunter Biden’s laptop. If you’re new h…
www.techdirt.com www.techdirt.com

1. Twitter only "blocked" the story for the first day until it could be verified (it was after all from the NY Post); they allowed it the next day.
2. Other news outlets including FOX did the same on that day
3. Twitter and news outlets have never been under any obligation to run with whatever the Post says the minute it says it.

The "invention", as usual, comes from the Trumpist side. In the annals of Republican grievance there was some vast media plot (including at Twitter) to "bury" the story. Based on what? They waited one day to run with it. One day. Since then the rest is just pure MAGA narrative.

The Biden campaign directly telling twitter to kill the story. Biden campaign telling twitter who to block.

Hunter Biden laptop bombshell: Twitter invented reason to censor Post’s reporting

There’s nothing to “like” about this. Elon Musk unveiled devastating internal Twitter files on Friday.

Righties everywhere having a collective circle jerk. The NY Post is such a piece of right wing lunacy.

No no that was a good source choice for you.
A blogger who writes like an award winning High School sophomore champion of free speech but can't recognize censorship by social media is the perfect source for you.
Hey ... speaking of censorship ... did you see the latest about Twitter with all their blacklisting and shadow-banning that you still don't believe happened?

You say this, yet cannot provide a coherent argument against what was written. Because, as always, you do not seem interested in facts nearly so much as narrative.

Really? Are you REALLY going to take THAT out of context also? I swear, Republicans are the most gullible group of people on Earth.

Tell me, yes or no, did Twitter have a meeting with journalists back in 2018 where he described, in detail, everything that was "revealed" last night? Tell me, yes or no, has Elon Musk, since taking over the company, committed Twitter to do the exact things that was "revealed" last night?

I know you have to answer questions when they make your position look foolish, but let's just try anyways.

How many Hunter Biden threads have we had lately? I lost count. It has replaced Hillary Clinton threads. Amazing no one wants to talk about policy or the direction of the country or about all the election deniers, etc.
But bring up Hunter Biden, and everyone gets an erection. I don't get it.

If Hunter was the son of a republican prez you'd better believe CNN and MSNBC wouldn't be leaving his trevails alone for one minute.

Speaking of positions that look foolish, your position that Twitter doesn't censor looks VERY foolish doesn't it.
You have nothing but the final defense that "those company decisions & collusions with the Government were a good thing".
C'mon, that's all you have left. Take that final step. Go for it. Be bold. Don't worry that you've been pre-called on it.
You don't seem like the type to ever admit you made a mistake so that's all that's left anyway.
