HBO late-night comedian Bill Maher admitted the legacy media engaged in “a conspiracy to get rid of” former President Donald Trump ahead of the 2020 election by burying the explosive Hunter Biden laptop story.
On his show “Real Time” on Friday, Maher pointed to damning remarks made by philosopher Sam Harris, who said last week he wouldn’t have cared if Hunter had “corpses of children in his basement” if it meant defeating Trump.
“[M]y friend Sam Harris was on a podcast…they were talking about Hunter Biden’s laptop, which was a story and now all the mainstream press has finally admitted it was a real story, it was a real laptop — now look, let’s not pussyfoot around this, he was selling the influence of his father, Joe Biden. I mean, most political sons do,” Maher said.
“Hunter Biden’s laptop was buried by the press, even the head of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, said that was a mistake. They buried the story because they remembered what happened with James Comey and the letter eleven days before the 2016 election.”
“Sam Harris says it was appropriate for Twitter and the heads of big tech and the heads of journalistic organizations to feel that they were in the presence of something that is a once-in-a-lifetime moral emergency, meaning Trump. So, he’s saying it’s okay to have a conspiracy to get rid of somebody as bad as Trump,” Maher noted.
“He’s saying that’s what they did, and that is what they did,” Maher admitted. “They buried the Hunter Biden story before the election because they were like, we can’t risk having the election thrown to Trump, we’ll tell them after the election.”
Maher’s remarks come the day after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg casually mentioned on Joe Rogan’s podcast that the FBI pressured Facebook to censor stories related to the Hunter Biden laptop just weeks before the 2020 presidential election.

The media will never be held accountable for pushing lies about Hunter Biden’s laptop because the FBI itself was doing the same thing and forcing tech companies to suppress the true information about it to help Joe Biden get elected.
