    The first article "was written mostly by a staff reporter who refused to put his name on it," the Times reported Sunday night, citing two Post employees. "Bruce Golding, a reporter at the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid since 2007, did not allow his byline to be used because he had concerns over the article's credibility." The article was instead attributed to a deputy politics editor who "had little to do with the reporting or writing of" it and "learned that her byline was on the story only after it was published," and a recent hire from Fox News and Sean Hannity's show, the Times reports.
    No other news organization has been given access to the purported hard drive copy, and the FBI is investigating whether the documents are part of a Russian disinformation campaign against Joe Biden's campaign, NBC News and CNN report.
    "It's not something that meets my journalistic standards," one Post reporter told New York Magazine. Another Post reporter called it "very flimsy," adding that the article "just makes you cringe and roll your eyes, and it's hard to stomach, but at the same time we kind of know that you're signing up for stuff like that. ... It's disappointing. It sucks to, like, work for, like, a propaganda outlet."

    Wow.

    The person who authored the story didn't even want their named used.

    Even a person that works at The Post is saying " that it doesn't meet "journalistic standards".

    Is it really any wonder that no reputable media outlet is giving this UNVERIFIED "Story" any oxygen?

    If true, and it seems so, this story clearly illustrates that Operation Mockingbird still runs strong. The mainstream media works for the deep state.

    Gee, I wonder why "no one else" would take it.

    It must have to do with their incredible integrity and high journalistic standards...

    Read the post that you commented upon again. No one would take it on face value. Meaning, they would investigate it. Upon doing that, it would fall apart like toilet paper in the rain.

    Exactly.

    After publishing that trash "story", The NY Post has less " journalistic integrity" than the Weekly World News.

    So the same people who haven't had any journalistic integrity over the last two decades suddenly do? The same people that ran with Russian collusion and Kavanaugh rape allegations are trustworthy? This IS 1984. 2+2=5. Riots are peaceful. Covid is a pandemic. Biden is clean.

    So the author of the story was not actually the person who wrote it?

    Heck he May be giving his father half his earnings. That’s not uncommon for screw up children actually. I’m guessing you don’t make your kids pay you back for helping them out.

    I've generally found you to be a reasonable and rational poster, so I'd like to ask, what about the story has "fallen apart" (other than the claim that it is Russian disinformation)?

    No I don't......moreover if I did, I doubt they'd be telling their business associates that they are paying a loan back to their dad because they are a crack head

    Such a trash story the Biden campaign was easily able to refute the claims and blow the emails off as they are not authentic...

    Wait. They haven't done that.

    When the New York Post reported that it has access to Hunter Biden’s old computer, which contains tens of thousands of politically compromising emails and photos and videos that are embarrassing and potentially criminal, Twitter, Facebook, and the mainstream media instantly clamped down on the report. They justified doing so by asserting that the computer’s origin was unverified, which meant the allegations are “rumors.” We know now that the computer is connected to Hunter – and that there’s corroborating information coming from other sources.

    You always know you’re over the target when the other side panics. In this case, the same outlets that had gleefully promoted every crackpot claim against the president, from the Steele Dossier to the Ukraine hoax, hysterically demanded perfect evidentiary purity for the Biden hard drive.

    Twitter blacked-out any references to the Post’s reports and continues to lock accounts – including the Post’s account – that refuse to delete links to the Post articles. Facebook slow-walked the story, allowing it minimal circulation to ensure almost no one saw it.

    Traditional media, which should report the news -- and the allegations are news-worthy -- instead worked hard to discredit the Post’s reporting. An example is the New York Times, which used anonymous sources to say that Post staff reporters were so worried about the computer’s provenance that they refused to have their name on the Hunter Biden story.

    If this is true it will be a yuge needle mover.

    It’s Rudy’s claims, he should produce the hard drive to real journalists. Amazing Rudy claims hunter was drunk when he dropped it off, But the blind computer guy has no idea who dropped it off lol

    So the same media outlets who won't ask Biden a tough question and buried the Harvey Weinstien story refused to take a story that is negative towards Biden. Is anyone really surprised by this?
