Why is that trolling? I don't understand why this is not being looked into. Biden's camp is not refuting it. Were you ok with the media using the Dossier as the source of truth for reporting on Trump/Russia when that was not verified and turned out to be inaccurate? The protection of Biden by the national media is sad to see. He doesn't have to answer questions, he's given credit for addressing the court packing question even though he still won't answer a question about radically changing Congress and the judicial branch. Is this a return to normalcy? The media should do their jobs and report the facts. If this were a story about one of the Trump kids, this story would be getting end to end media coverage. This one isn't very difficult and everyone should demand the media do their jobs, and not act as a white washing for one candidate. Very sad.
You are acting as if "report the facts" means "publish hacked emails from private citizens". That is a very dangerous line of thinking.
As a society, we should not lower the bar by blurring the line between a public political candidate and a private citizen. Joe Biden's private activities are fair game; his son's are not.
The comparison to Trump's children is mostly unwarranted. Three of his children
work for him; therefore, their questionable business or government activities are inherently fair game.
(However, if someone had hacked Tiffany Trump's emails, I would agree that it would be inappropriate to publish them.)
Also, Hunter Biden's emails do not contain any evidence of Joe Biden committing a crime. And even if the so-called "smoking gun" aspects were true (i.e., Joe met with a Ukrainian),
that still wouldn't be a crime.
So, you are basically calling for an investigation into something that wouldn't be illegal even if it had happened. There's no "there" there.
The comparison to the Steele dossier is a fair one. But there are two important distinctions here: 1) the Steele dossier does not contain the hacked emails of a private citizen, and 2) the mainstream media did not report on it prior to the election! Steele actually tried to get several major media outlets to publish a story on the dossier in the summer of 2016 (including the Washington Post and the NY Times),
but they wouldn't touch it because it couldn't be verified. It wasn't until January 2017 that the dossier became public -- but only because it was illegally uploaded by Buzzfeed.
You said that the media should "do their jobs" -- and I would argue that they
already are. Fox News did its job by refusing to publish the story; other outlets (such as the
Washington Post) did their job by reporting on the laptop while also giving the proper weight to Rudy Giuliani's involvement and the fact that the NY Post writers refused to let their names be attached to the byline. The mainstream media is not suppressing the story; they are simply refusing to give it more relevance than it currently deserves.
