On Oct 19, 2020, Politico, which claims it is not a biased news agency, reported that the laptop scandal surrounding then the second son of the Democrat’s presidential candidate, Joseph Biden was a Russian “misinformation” campaign. They initially stated that “more than fifty former senior intelligence officials” had signed a letter that “centers around a batch of documents released by the New York Post last week that purport to tie the Democratic nominee to his son Hunter’s business dealings.” The former officials agreed that it had “all the classic ear marks of a Russian information operation.”
The response was meant to counter The New York Post’s own report from Oct 14, 2020. In their report they claimed information from a laptop that was owned by Hunter Biden was sent on to President’s Trump’s legal team. Within the information provided were dozens of emails that appeared to link then presidential candidate Biden with potentially illegal business dealings with his son. In the post’s report they discuss an email from April 2015 which appears to thank Hunter Biden for introducing Vadym Pozharskyi to Joe Biden a year prior. One email from 2014 asks Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” for the company Burisma, that Hunter was a board member of and was earning $50,000 a month.
Almost a year later Politico, one of the most relied upon fact-checkers on the internet, now claims the laptop is genuine. They do so nearly one year and one election, too late according to Trending Politics. In the report by Trending Politics they report that the original story by The New York Post was banned by Twitter, (it was) and that the FEC actually cleared Twitter of violating elections laws when they censored the story because Twitter claimed the information came from “hacked” emails. But that wasn’t true then or now. The information from the laptop was obtained legally and with no hacking required.
In April 2021, the Daily Mail actually authenticated the information that was in question themselves. After going through 103,000 text messages, 154,000 emails, more than 2,000 photos and dozens of videos, the Daily Mail said the laptop belonged to Hunter Biden. In these emails, texts, photos, and videos they found evidence of Hunter begging “his father to run for president in 2019 to salvage Hunter’s own reputation.” In that same cache is evident that Hunter Biden was being guarded by the Secret Service in 2018 even though he was not allowed protection at the time. There is evidence of Hunter Biden and his friends committing and being a party to drug trafficking and prostitution as well.
A few tweets about Politico’s about-face are shown below as well as original tweets from October 2020. Several show news agencies doing all they can to keep the information from the general public as Biden campaigned to become president.

Look at the campaign video @HuffPost produced for Joe Biden masquerading as a pre-election "news report" that was full of lies: no other way to say it. And their *only* basis was mimicking CIA's claims.

Please watch this video from CNN's Wolf Blitzer show shortly before the election. Now that we have (more) proof that the Biden docs were always genuine, just watch how these people lie. If this doesn't make you furious, and you don't despise this part of the media, you're wrong. pic.twitter.com/MnhkOolecp
