from the NEW YORK POST... https://nypost.com/2021/10/12/one-year-later-the-posts-hunter-biden-reporting-is-vindicated-but-still-buried/ One year later, The Post’s Hunter Biden reporting is vindicated — but still buried Hacked materials.” “Russian disinformation.” “Unsubstantiated.” One year ago, The Post revealed that Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop carried proof he sold influence while his father served as vice president — and his dad, now president, knew it. Yet most other media treated the story itself as the scandal, reporting only on vague claims that sought to undermine it rather than rushing (as they would’ve under the last president) to advance it themselves. And Twitter and Facebook rushed to block it, squelching vital information even as America voted. None of them has learned any lesson except that it worked: Big Tech and Big Media got their way, at the expense of our democracy. In short: They got away with it. All of them. From the Bidens, to social-media companies, to the press. Though the media have (mostly) stopped pretending we got anything wrong, most outlets still don’t even mention these revelations — even in stories where they’re highly relevant, such as Hunter’s ongoing art-show grift, which looks a blatant effort to solicit funds from those hoping to win the president’s goodwill. Again: They had no decent justification for their partisan censorship. Neither Biden has ever disputed a sentence of The Post’s reporting. Not our scoop that, at his son’s request, then-veep Joe Biden met with Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, which hired Hunter as a well-paid board member, despite his lack of experience in energy and Eastern Europe. Nor Hunter’s laptop e-mails suggesting Daddy would benefit from a deal with a state-connected Chinese firm: The share breakdown included “10 held by H for the big guy” — which Hunter’s ex-partner Tony Bobulinski confirmed meant Joe. Bobulinski went public because countless Big Media orgs dismissed The Post’s reporting as “Russian disinformation.” He knew that wasn’t true and authenticated the e-mails publicly. But that was just the second excuse they tried. The first is the one Twitter used to justify blocking users from sharing the story as well as locking The Post’s account for weeks, namely the claim we used “hacked materials.” No, our reporting explained how it all came from a laptop Hunter plainly forgot at a repair shop, whose owner thus gained full rights to the abandoned computer, files and all. Nor did either Biden accuse The Post of hacking. And Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey admitted at a congressional hearing that censoring the story was a “total mistake.”
