Grandfather in certain parts of the country. I did say the Hunter laptop thing fooled me. It is such a ridiculous story. Yeah, right, guy leaves laptop with incriminating evidence at strip mall computer repair shop, forgets to pick it up, it winds up in the hands of ... Rudy Effin' Giuliani. But as we've seen this week, that's our Hunter. Brother dies, he starts doing brother's widow and also introduces her to the thrill of crack cocaine. Writes a memoir that is essentially a confession to a federal crime. You can't make this up. In my career I've seen plenty of cockamamie schemes, but this one is ... special. Truly special. Natasha don't need hair extensions, botox, lip fillers, and she don't shoot no dogs for annoying her. She's kind of preppy, kind a a Frankish genteel lawyer's type, albeit when he was a quarter century younger. You can have your Kristi Noem and Megyn Kelly and Hope Hicks. Again, though, Frank, I can see you buying the narrative—liberal, conservative or independent, what a story! I don’t want to be drawn in to some crazy story, dunk on you about guns, hookers, blow only to find out later the story was planted by a foreign govt. The problem here is the declaration made by American intelligence agents don’t get that pass, nor should they. They either collectively, in concert, spread disinformation or collectively, in concert are grossly incompetent. There’s no middle ground anymore, because the laptop is what it is. With respect to Natasha, she seems a capable and intelligent individual, and that’s enough, isn’t it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biden is Mentally Fit Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 40 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: Yes. If they reported it as such, or if they ran editorial content decrying the laptop as a Russian disinformation campaign. I'm quite sure some did. But you know who didn't? Politico. That story that one of your boring he-does-go-on-a-bit friends here keeps posting. That story reported the news - 51 former intelligence community people say it bears the hallmarks of Russian disinformation, but Trump campaign types insist it's real. That's what we call accurate reporting; there's nothing to correct or to apologize for. Just one more time: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/19/hunter-biden-story-russian-disinfo-430276 More than 50 former senior intelligence officials have signed on to a letter outlining their belief that the recent disclosure of emails allegedly belonging to Joe Biden’s son “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” The letter, signed on Monday, centers around a batch of documents released by the New York Post last week that purport to tie the Democratic nominee to his son Hunter’s business dealings. Under the banner headline “Biden Secret E-mails,” the Post reported it was given a copy of Hunter Biden’s laptop hard drive by President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who said he got it from a Mac shop owner in Delaware who also alerted the FBI. While the letter’s signatories presented no new evidence, they said their national security experience had made them “deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case” and cited several elements of the story that suggested the Kremlin’s hand at work. “If we are right,” they added, “this is Russia trying to influence how Americans vote in this election, and we believe strongly that Americans need to be aware of this.” Nick Shapiro, a former top aide under CIA director John Brennan, provided POLITICO with the letter on Monday. He noted that “the IC leaders who have signed this letter worked for the past four presidents, including Trump. The real power here however is the number of former, working-level IC officers who want the American people to know that once again the Russians are interfering.” The former Trump administration officials who signed the letter include Russ Travers, who served as National Counterterrorism Center acting director; Glenn Gerstell, the former NSA general counsel; Rick Ledgett, the former deputy NSA director; Marc Polymeropoulos, a retired CIA senior operations officer; and Cynthia Strand, who served as the CIA’s deputy assistant director for global issues. Former CIA directors or acting directors Brennan, Leon Panetta, Gen. Michael Hayden, John McLaughlin and Michael Morell also signed the letter, along with more than three dozen other intelligence veterans. Several of the former officials on the list have endorsed Biden. Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said on Monday that the information on Biden’s laptop “is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign,” though the FBI is reportedly conducting an ongoing investigation into whether Russia was involved. The New York Times raised questions on Sunday about the rigor of the Post’s reporting process, revealing that several of its reporters had refused to put their name on the Biden stories because they were concerned about the authenticity of the materials. The Post stood by its reporting, saying it was vetted before publication. Plus: the story is by Natasha Bertrand, who is pretty cute. Leave my Natasha alone, you haters! You act as though this particular left-leaning reliable outlet reported on the disinformation letter once and then just moved on. What has Politico reported in the aftermath, once it became clear the news they initially reported was bullsh*t? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Yeah Rudy Giuliani was the only one who had the laptop. The NY Post didn't have it. They didn't verify its contents and publish a story about it only to have that reporting mass censored from media everywhere at the behest of the same FBI that had verified it 10 months earlier. Here's a hint. When the US media en masse censors ANY story its a problem. A big problem. But Finding got fooled! 4 minutes ago, JDHillFan said: You act as though this particular left-leaning reliable outlet reported on the disinformation letter once and then just moved on.

B-Man Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 The Worst Media Fete of Biden's Normandy Trip? JAZZ SHAW For a couple of minutes this month, it almost seemed as if the mainstream media was finally succumbing to reality and admitting that Joe Biden is simply not up to the job of being president amid catastrophic poll numbers and disastrous situations facing Americans at home. Multiple legacy media outlets, both in print and on cable news were picking up on a recent Wall Street Journal article that generously described Biden as "slipping." Even some prominent Democratic strategists were showing up on CNN, wringing their hands and bemoaning the fact that Donald Trump has broadly overtaken Biden in the betting market for November. But Biden's current trip to France to celebrate the 80th anniversary of D-Day presented an opportunity to reset the narrative and paint Joe Biden as some sort of historic, Reaganesque figure. Somewhat predictably, the Associated Press jumped on the opportunity like a swarm of flies drawn to honey. The result was rather embarrassing to anyone who has been watching the actual coverage of Joe's trip. Here's a sample from the opening: https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2024/06/09/the-worst-media-fete-of-bidens-normandy-trip-n3789916 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
