Of course, their definition of disinformation was so broad as to include virtually anything that made Joe Biden or Democrats look bad.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But knowing all that, it still would be naive to think we know the whole story. For example, we don\u2019t know who in the FBI was running the censoring operation, whether it was a rogue outfit or came from the top. Nor do we know if the operation continues now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We do know the FBI had Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop for a year before The Post started to reveal the contents.

It\u2019s shocking even now to realize Times reporters had access to Tony Bobulinski, Hunter Biden\u2019s former partner, but refused to print that he confirmed the authenticity of the email naming Joe Biden as \u201cthe big guy\u201d slated for a secret 10% cut in a joint venture with a Chinese conglomerate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are two basic possibilities for explaining media complicity. First, perhaps the Times, Washington Post, CNN and others, all of whom are often favored with partisan leaks from the Justice Department, got misled by the FBI into thinking the story was bogus.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Did_Big_Guy_profit\"><\/span><strong>Did Big Guy profit?\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Indeed, since then, they and other media laptop deniers have authenticated key contents, though in a scattered fashion that has left unexplored the central issue of Joe Biden\u2019s role.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Did the president of the United States profit from the selling of access to him, and is he compromised in dealing with foreign powers? No one in Big Media seems to care.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The other possibility for media complicity is they might have gone along as a favor to their FBI minders because it fit their shared agenda to defeat Trump and elect Biden.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After all, they were teammates in a similar effort in 2016, the Russia hoax to try to elect Hillary Clinton. That one failed and they were determined to succeed this time.

None had seen the laptop, but their letter became the story the media seized on and offered Joe Biden a lifeline in his next debate with Trump. Some signers still defend the letter, and not one has apologized for misleading the public.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is hardly a matter fit only for historians, especially not when most of the media covered Musk\u2019s release the same way they covered the initial laptop story. They ignored it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That seems odd, until you consider they might have feared their role in suppressing the original story would be outed by the documents.
