CBS News is now inexplicably reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop story TWO YEARS after the New York Post was censored across the internet for originally breaking the story just prior to the 2020 presidential election.
The “CBS Mornings” segment on Monday barely scratched the surface regarding Hunter’s laptop, simply acknowledging the laptop’s authenticity, which had been independently verified over two years ago.
“The laptop data we had analyzed show no evidence it was faked or tampered with,” said correspondent Catherine Herridge.

No kidding. Hunter’s laptop had been independently verified by The New York Post, The Daily Mail, and many others in 2020.
The New York Times had even admitted last April that Hunter’s laptop was real and not “disinformation” as the mainstream media, politicians, and former intel officials had claimed in October 2020 with no evidence.
Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald mocked the absurdity of CBS News pretending like it just broke the Hunter laptop story by pointing out that same news outlet in 2020 coordinated with the rest of the mainstream media to smear the story as “Russian disinformation.”
“A vital reminder: the media outlets that always tell you they fight ‘disinformation’ united right before the 2020 election to spread an absolute lie: this laptop was ‘Russian disinformation.’ I knew it was a lie right away and staked my career on it. They lied *on purpose*,” he tweeted.

Now suddenly, as House Republicans are gearing up to launch investigations into Joe Biden upon taking the majority, CBS News appears to be getting ahead of what they may find.
Users on social media were quick to pile on CBS News for its much-delayed whitewash.
Welcome to October 2020 when the rest of us already knew it was real.

Horrible reporting. Talk about a whitewash. No mention of the underage videos or the ones with his niece. No mention of the mountains of evidence of corruption. As usual the MSM is trying to play cleanup.

How are you NOT embarrassed by pretending to report a story that was reported and dismissed 2 years ago?!

We’ve known this for 2 years. @CBSNews gives Herridge permission to finally report on this only because Republicans are taking over the House and they’re about to investigate it. The media is inherently corrupt.

My goodness! This story is 2 years old and just now @CBSNews is covering it?!?!

This is why nobody trusts the mainstream media.
This comes days after CBS News announced they would be suspending its activities on Twitter due to “uncertainty” before backtracking and returning to the social media platform just 48 hours later.
