The national media buried the story of the Hunter Biden laptop

- Mark Williams, Phoenix

So Hunter Biden’s laptop is real. What a surprise.

The president’s son, making deals back then with the then-corrupt Ukrainian government, was peddling his father — “the Big Guy” for a fee.

Of course, it came out at a poor time for the former VP, just weeks before the election.

Then, it just went away, with every major news organizati­on saying it was

Russian disinforma­tion. How long are we going to buy that?

What happens when the Russians actually do use false informatio­n?

Who do we ask for clarificat­ion?

Not the news media. The Fourth Estate is dead.

Every major outlet, with the exception of one or two, downplayed that event.

And here’s the thing, there might not have been anything illegal with the events Hunter was in. It looked bad that behind the curtain a family member was making deals.

That might not be any worse than a candidate talking about grabbing women by the crotch.

But since the update this last week that that the Hunter Biden laptop was real, there has been little reporting on the confirmati­on.
