Press & Big Tech ‘buried’ the story

- Bruce Golding

Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Glenn Greenwald said Thursday that potential wrongdoing by President-elect Joe Biden’s son, exposed by The Post, was “suppressed prior to the election” by most other media and Big Tech.

In a column he self-published online, Greenwald specifical­ly cited a Post article that revealed e-mails from Hunter Biden’s laptop with plans for lucrative business deals with the since-vanished chairman of China’s largest private energy company.

Greenwald also said the e-mails exposed by The Post raised a “critical question” of what then-candidate Joe Biden knew about his son’s overseas business dealings.

“All of these vital facts and questions about Hunter’s activities in China were largely suppressed from the voting population by the bulk of the U.S. media, working in tandem with Silicon Valley (which simply prevented the story from being discussed and shared on its key platforms), and the intelligen­ce community,” Greenwald (pictured) wrote on the Substack Web site.

Greenwald — who quit The Intercept over claims that the outlet he co-founded “censored” a piece he wrote about Joe Biden and his son’s e-mails — also noted that some news outlets started aggressive­ly reporting on Hunter Biden only after his admission Wednesday that he’s under investigat­ion for possible tax fraud.

Greenwald cited a Politico report that said the probe “has been more extensive” than Hunter indicated, as well as a CNN report that investigat­ors have examined the gift to Hunter of a 2.8-carat diamond by former CEFC China Energy Chairman Ye Jianming.

“All of these topics are what the large bulk of the U.S. media, working in concert with the intelligen­ce community and Silicon Valley, suppressed prior to the election,” Greenwald wrote.
