The mainstream media and Democrat operatives uniformly misled the American people over revelations about Joe Biden’s corruption detailed on his son Hunter Biden’s laptop, characterizing the story as “Russian disinformation.”
Without a shred of evidence to disprove the New York Post’s Hunter Biden story, the media and Democrat lawmakers quickly reverted to their tired playbook of “Russia, Russia, Russia.”
Ultimately, the left was once again exposed as liars after Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe clarified Monday that the Hunter Biden story was not in any way “Russian disinformation”; rather, those claims were attempts by Democrats to discredit the story for political purposes.
Reporter Drew Holden presented a comprehensive thread of screenshots of mainstream media reporters from CNN, The New York Times, NPR, PBS, CBS News, MSNBC, The Washington Post, USA Today and even Business Insider all parroting the same talking point of “Russian disinformation”, without evidence to support it.
Getting us started is @CNN, who had chief Russian conspiracist James Clapper on the program to talk about how the Post story was “classic textbook Soviet Russian tradecraft” (his words) and then did an “anatomy” of the “dubious” story. pic.twitter.com/xbHuqwDWx1

But right behind them was @nytimes, who ran a similarly incredulous story, and whose chief political reporter @maggieNYT doubled down on the Russian disinformation angle. pic.twitter.com/oks2Knzuvi

But the real leader – as with all things Russian hoax related – was @MSNBC.
They also managed to pull in @CongressmanRaja, @PhilipRucker, and @McFaul (who was all aboard this idea already). pic.twitter.com/F2rPvx3zj8

There were plenty of others.
I wonder if we’ll get a follow up from @PBS / @NewsHour about the DNI shooting this reporting down? pic.twitter.com/wBnY3o3mnx

Also documented in Holden’s thread were numerous Democrat lawmakers and political operatives, led by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff.
And where could these news outlets be getting their stories?
Well, as it happens, many of them are from elected officials paid by your tax dollars.
You’ll be stunned, but leading the charge on the latest rash of Russian related hysteria was @RepAdamSchiff. pic.twitter.com/YyAsKgRVyy

As ever, he wasn’t alone. @ChrisMurphyCT did a whole thread on it. Here’s just a few of them. pic.twitter.com/WW0GMZMyja

@davidcicilline may fly under the radar on it but he’s been a died in the blood Russian collusion guy, too. pic.twitter.com/DnN896IoZN

Not only did DNI Ratcliffe, who’s in charge of what classified information Congress sees, disprove the bogus “Russian disinformation” talking point, but so did President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
“I gave them [Hunter’s hard drives] to the New York Post and they held them for a week and authenticated them. I mean, I don’t think The New York Post would publish them without being absolutely certain they are authentic,” Giuliani told Fox News Saturday.
“Finally, they don’t even dispute that they are authentic, and I’ll give you the best one of all. The big mouth lawyer made a very big mistake. Before this was even out, when it was just they were called about it, first thing he does is call that merchant and he says ‘can I have my client’s hard drive back?’”
“He’s basically admitting for his client, as he’s the client’s agent, that’s Hunter Biden’s hard drive. And if you would like to send a representative of your show to my office, I’ll have you take a look at it, you tell me if it isn’t authentic. It’s authentic as hell,” he added.
In sum, the bulk of America’s media has been handily caught lying to voters about a bombshell story that is damaging to their candidate Joe Biden’s campaign.
Mike Adams joins to tease the future of the Hunter Biden emails, and what Giuliani will release next.
