The New York Post appears to be mad as hell, and not going to take it anymore – as the bellicose character Howard Beale ranted in the movie “Network.”
In October 2020, the Post reported on the FBI’s investigation of content on Hunter Biden’s laptop. Part of the probe looked into whether Joe Biden, as vice president, was involved in some of Hunter’s business deals with the tainted Ukrainian oil company Burisma, and whether Hunter leveraged that access for his family’s financial gain.
The Post was utterly slammed by the liberal media, lefty pundits and Democrats who claimed the country’s oldest paper was spreading “disinformation,” likely planted by the Russians, and using “hacked” material to do so.
The New York Times joined in the Post bashing, essentially suggesting that with Hunter and Burisma, there was no there there.
Then, lo and behold, the Times last week – with Joe Biden safely in the White House for the last 14 months – offered a lengthy report that found Hunter’s shady business deals, the controversial computer and his father’s attendance at a meeting with shifty Ukrainian oil execs was not only newsworthy, but valid, as the Post had reported.
In an editorial on St. Patrick’s Day, the Post responded. “Forgive the profanity,” it began, “but you have got to be sh*ting us.”
“In the heat of the presidential race of 2020, the Times never missed a chance to cast doubt on the laptop, saying the information was ‘purported’ and quoting a letter from former Democratic officials who claimed – with no evidence-— that it was Russian disinformation. As recently as September 2021, the Times called the laptop ‘unsubstantiated’ in a news story,” the Post continued.
The paper added, “There’s never any shame with these 180s. Sorry that we wrote a ‘fact check’ that turned out to be bull! Sorry we wrote a piece claiming something wasn’t a story and you were stupid for thinking so!”
“Readers of the Times have discovered in March 2022 that Hunter Biden pursued business deals in Europe and Asia, and may have leveraged his father’s position as vice president to do it. … Readers of The Post have known this since October 2020,” the Post continued.
The Post has not let up.
On Friday, it penned another editorial this time slamming 51 U.S. intelligence officials who collaborated with Big Tech and the liberal media in tamping down the Hunter-laptop story as “disinformation.”
These “51 former ‘intelligence’ officials who cast doubt on The Post’s Hunter Biden laptop stories in a public letter really were just desperate to get Joe Biden elected president,” the Post noted. “And more than a year later, even after their Deep State sabotage has been shown again and again to be a lie, they refuse to own up to how they undermined an election.”
It was galling, the Post added, that in their much-promoted letter attacking the story, these officials – who included former national intelligence director Jame Clapper, former CIA director John Brennan and former NSA director Michael Hayden – admitted they had no proof the Russians were involved. Accordingly, “pure speculation by a group of biased officials became gospel among the media. This was ‘fake news,’ and could be safely ignored,” the Post noted.
“Big Tech, former government officials, and the media conspired together to bury a story. No, not just bury — create a false narrative that flipped the script to make Joe Biden the victim of a conspiracy,” the Post continued.
“In short, they peddled online disinformation to sway an election.”
And there have been no consequences. Big Tech gives libs a pass, these supposed intel gurus still get lucrative cable news gigs and the Bidens are never held to account, the Post argued.
The Post contacted all 51 and reported that all but a handful did not bother to respond. Among those who did, they stood by the letter, claiming it was correct at the time.
“No remorse. No shame. And no apologies,” the Post concluded.
Commenting on the story, Ric Grennell, former President Donald Trump’s intelligence director, noted, “They should be hauled in front of the Senate, as soon as the Republicans take over, and they should have to explain why they did this. What was the information that they had where they said don’t look at Hunter Biden’s laptop three weeks before an election?”
“They interfered with the 2020 election.”

That isn’t all the have hidden. The election was absolutely STOLEN and they don’t bother report on any of it. Who will ever listen to these traitors to America again?
Trump had it all; yet No INDICTMENT 0f either Bidet, nor ‘Weiner’ Hunter.
We needed to revolt and it never happened. These traitors will get their comeuppance when patriotic minds take over in November.
We are suffering the consequences of repealing the Smith-Mundt Act.
NY times/Washington Post, etc al who furthered the censorship and proffitted from the ” Trump is a Russian asset, collaborator, etc” hoax should have to return all awards, monies or things of value resulting from their intentional misinformation.
