The New York Times hates to say The Post told you so

[NYPOST] Sometimes a newspaper story is just a story about someone. And sometimes the story inadvertently reveals far more about the newspaper itself.

That’s the case of the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

’ Thursday piece on Hunter Biden. What the discerning reader learns about the Times is far more important than anything disclosed about the president’s scheming son.

The one bit of actual news is that Hunter Biden took out a loan to pay the federal government as much as $1 million in back taxes as part of a continuing criminal probe about his business ventures with foreign corporations and individuals.

But that fact, which comes in the very first paragraph, is dwarfed by the Times’ bombshell acknowledgment later on. Much later on.

It’s not until the 24th paragraph that the story mentions emails involving Hunter Biden and his associates in those deals, followed by these two sentences: "Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation."

Heart be still. It took the Gray Lady nearly 17 months to grudgingly concede even a fraction of what New York Post readers learned in October 2020. Of course, Times readers would have learned all that too if their paper were still in the news business instead of being a running dog for Democrats.

The Post revealed those emails and many, many more after it came into possession of the contents of the same laptop’s hard drive. Post readers also know the Times was part of the Big Government, Big Tech and Big Media cabal that tried to hide those emails from the public during the 2020 presidential election.

The reason for that coverup was simple: Many of the emails to and from Hunter Biden implicated Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. S You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier...
in the international influence-peddling business run by Hunter and Joe’s brother Jim Biden.

If the whole country knew then that Joe Biden was corruptly using his office to help his family cash in, we would now be in the second year of Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
’s second term. That’s a fact because 8% of Biden voters told pollsters they would have supported Trump had they known about the bombshell contents of the laptop.

But the Times, Facebook, Twitter, CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
and the deep state couldn’t let that happen. They had spent four years trying to drive Trump out of office, mostly by falsely alleging he had colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election. They were determined he would not get four more years.

So as a corollary to their reporting fake news about Trump, when they had real news about Biden family corruption, instead of reporting it and letting users share it on social media, they conspired to bury it.

Blame them for Joe Biden’s disastrous presidency.

And now the Times has the gall to act as if it did heroic digging by claiming Thursday the emails "were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation." Oh, please.

Unlike the Times, The Post didn’t rely on anonymous sources, saying openly that Rudy Giuliani gave the paper a copy of the laptop’s hard drive. Giuliani said it came from a repairman in Delaware, whom The Post also interviewed. He said a man who signed his name as Hunter Biden dropped the laptop off for fixes and never retrieved it.

#1 

So as we already knew it was a massive election coverup.

Now, will those involved (Hunter-DOJ-FBI-IRS-Biden Admin) in the conspiracy to coverup a felony be criminally indicted?

BTW: If media leaders assisted in the coverup for political reasons, shouldn't they be indicted also?

#3 NYT Lede 3/20/22: "Evidence suggests Walter Duranty may have been less-than-candid in previous Times stories about Soviet behavior in Ukraine. Some Factcheckers disagree"

#4 He said a man who signed his name as Hunter Biden dropped the laptop off for fixes and never retrieved it.

Because that's the kind of thing crack addicts do.
