Just realized something...  Joes "shocking" thread has 35 pages.  Trump's "shocking" thread has over 2700 pages.  Hasn't Joe been in government more than 10 times the length of time Trump has? There's gotta be a conspiracy here.  🙂

Im not the one  rationalizing here to a preconceived thing.  Seriously...why George Bush?

Biden campaign not even denying the meeting Bobulinski said took place.

WATCH: Biden campaign spokesman Jamal Brown does NOT deny that Joe Biden met with Hunter's business partner Tony Bobulinski, who is now blowing the whistle on the Biden family's Chinese pay to play scheme.

Let me guess - you’d prefer him to say, “Bobulinski?  Hmm, Bobulinsk.  Never heard of that guy.  I don’t know anything about him”

He's not even the Biden mentioned most often by the conspiracy theorists. I'm starting to think that they think Hunter Biden is Trump's opponent.

It really is a pretty pathetic strategy. I expected better, but then again I guess that's my fault.

I wonder if it's ever occurred to someone who chooses to employ such tactics(no matter where they fall politically), that everyone knows what they're doing, and that it really just makes them look bad. 

 
How a fake persona laid the groundwork for a Hunter Biden conspiracy deluge, A 64-page document that was later disseminated by close associates of President Donald Trump appears to be the work of a fake "intelligence firm."

One month before a purported leak of files from Hunter Biden's laptop, a fake "intelligence" document about him went viral on the right-wing internet, asserting an elaborate conspiracy theory involving former Vice President Joe Biden's son and business in China.

The document, a 64-page composition that was later disseminated by close associates of President Donald Trump, appears to be the work of a fake "intelligence firm" called Typhoon Investigations, according to researchers and public documents.

The author of the document, a self-identified Swiss security analyst named Martin Aspen, is a fabricated identity, according to analysis by disinformation researchers, who also concluded that Aspen's profile picture was created with an artificial intelligence face generator. The intelligence firm that Aspen lists as his previous employer said that no one by that name had ever worked for the company and that no one by that name lives in Switzerland, according to public records and social media searches.

One of the original posters of the document, a blogger and professor named Christopher Balding, took credit for writing parts of it when asked about it and said Aspen does not exist.

So I'm to believe that Donald Trump is, in his own words, a "stable genius," yet he has close associates who in essence get catfished by a fake intelligence firm because they're presumably so desperate for dirt on political rivals. How is this reality?

That's nothing. I still haven't even seen Joe Biden's birth certificate in person. WHAT IS HE HIDING FROM ME!?

I think the mental fitness narrative left the building after the debates. Biden did not appear to have dementia or mentally impaired in front of millions of people, so even if the GOP tried to continue to beat that drum it wouldn't have worked.

Maybe. People see what they want to see.

There has been side by side video of Biden and the GOP candidate walking down a ramp and the GOP decided "too old!" was going to win them the election. Not that it's not working they have "BREAKING NEWS!.... that hasn't been fact checked by anyone.... but would have been proven if DHL wouldn't have eaten tucker carlesons homework.... eh, never mind..... OBAMAGATE!"

With a week remaining it kind of feels like they are ready to punt on 3rd down. Clinging to endorsements by Lil Wayne to convince themselves they will win the urban vote.

 
So the Daily Caller received a full copy of a laptop from Rudy...a laptop at the center of a supposed FBI investigation...and that seems normal to you?

And it's a laptop that allegedly has child porn on it, lest we forget. So if this is to be believed, the FBI is now trafficking the very thing they hammer people for, and people actually believe it!

No...it does not sound like that at all.

How in the world, does a laptop from Rudy Giuliani, given to the Daily Caller...sound like the DNC using a firm that specializes in such things to investigate?

Seriously...that is not even close to similar...you know that.

It was analyzed by a legitimate computer forensics company. What does Rudy have to do with anything?

I guess I don`t understand and everyone I ask really has no answer.   I know the media is very slow to report anything on Dem candidates and hardly will cover positives that have happened.

Question is why?  What does the media gain when Obama is POTUS, or if Biden becomes POTUS?  What does the person sitting in the newsroom gain?

I wish I remember the podcast I was listening to, but a theory was the social stigma in the media circles that are causing these head scratchers. It's very unpopular to go against the grain and no one wants to be labeled as the person who cost Joe the election.

The media has had to eat helping Trump get elected for the last 4 years and they dont want to do it again.

Resignation of Glenn Greenwald[edit]

On October 29, 2020, Greenwald resigned from The Intercept, citing political censorship and contractual breaches from the editors, who he said had prevented him from reporting on Joe Biden's conduct with regard to China and Ukraine.[41] He said that the "pathologies, illiberalism, and repressive mentality that led to the bizarre spectacle of my being censored by my own media outlet are ones that are by no means unique to The Intercept. These are the viruses that have contaminated virtually every mainstream center-left political organization, academic institution, and newsroom".[42] In response, The Intercept wrote that Greenwald "believes that anyone who disagrees with him is corrupt, and anyone who presumes to edit his words is a censor" and told The Washington Post, "it is absolutely not true that Glenn Greenwald was asked to remove all sections critical of Joe Biden from his article. He was asked to support his claims and innuendo about corrupt actions by Joe Biden with evidence."[43][44]

So a he said she said thing. This whole standard of proof BS the MSM is hiding behind now is laughable after the last 4 years. 

Twitter not allowing "hacked" material with no evidence it was hacked, but allowing illegally obtained tax returns on its platform. It's a joke. I dont care what side you're on, it's a flat out joke.

Journalism is dead.

Greenwald has been off the deep end for awhile now, IMO.

As well as Hillary...the narrative that anything bad about dems doesn't get supported is just frankly ludicrous.

More negative gets posted about Trump....because he does more things worthy of negative reporting.  Its not a difficult concept.

Its also a dubious claim to act as if the standard of proof has really changed by the MSM.

Agreed. Often people seem to think that because the outlet doesn't name the sources, that means they don't know who they are and aren't vetting them. Those people are mistaken.

Unless we're talking about a Rupert Murdoch company, maybe.

 
That isnt what I'm talking about. It wasnt long ago several MSM outlets ran stories about Trump being a Russian agent. Without evidence they deemed that to be a credible story. The president of the US is an undercover agent of a foreign govt.

Now here we are with Hunter's confirmed emails and a first hand witness saying Joe knew about it and we don't get any coverage. THAT story is too sensational to run... 

If you can't see the problem here it's because you are choosing to ignore it. 

The media has lost all credibility with the people.

They lost credibility with those who believe Trump...

And who actually ran stories like what you are claiming here...I mean seriously who?

We have emails that may be confirmed by this source who was provided things by a dubious source who got it from Rudy...we have a witness who seems not all that credible claiming Joe knew about it...but in the end...we still have no illegal activity by Joe Biden.

Its been too sensational...because the sourcing has been that terrible...at some point that should be clear to you.  When the bulk of your information is coming from Rudy Giuliani...the laptops the data...all of it...and that only questionable "news" sources will even publish it...that should tell you something.  Its not that just left wing MSM won't touch it...its that only a place like the POST and Conservative Treehouse and now the Daily Caller will touch it.  That is very telling on how poorly sourced this story has been from the start.  No...big outlets are not going to touch it...their standards of proof are higher than this...and they have been even the last 4 years...that has not changed one bit.

Do you see the contradiction in your own post here?

You're complaining that the media has no credibility, but you're also complaining about their refusal to cover the Hunter Biden story.

You can't have both. Well, I guess you can, but then you're admitting that you're a partisan hack who just wants the media to act as a direct outlet of the state.
