Can you explain the MSM's conduct on the Hunter Biden story then? The MSM may be better, but that doesn't mean they still aren't a bunch of ratings-chasing scumbags who constantly misrepresent things in the pieces they publish. "Not as shitty as them" isn't really much of a defense. I mean, if you listened to the MSM you'd believe that 1) Candace Owens called for an invasion of Australia 2) That Hunter Biden's laptop was just Russian disinformation 3) That Trump called Nazis "fine people" 4) That Trump told people to drink bleach 5) That Joe Rogan took horse de-wormer 6) The Covington Kids Nonsense 7) That Trump Jr. was offered advance access to the Wikileaks dump That 17 intel agencies agreed Russia was behind the attacks and on and on and onAll of these are not true, but many of them are widely-held beliefs by those who follow the MSM.Granted on the right you could make a worse list of 8 batcrap crazy beliefs fueled by their media, but that doesn't make it right for the MSM and their followers to do that kind of nonsense as well.Get a clue- Trust no one in the media. Always look at stories from multiple angles and multiple sources. Take seriously the issues the other side raises with the story, be they on the left or on the right. Get out of your bubble.
He does kind of have a point about this. The mainstream media all rushed to declare the story "Russian disinformation".Here are the "experts" telling us that it is disinformation- https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/19/hunter-biden-story-russian-disinfo-430276And later on we find out it's not. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/10/12/hunter-biden-corruption-515583Yet again the "experts" were wrong about things and gullible saps accepted the media explanation. Yes, there was propaganda on this story- by American mainstream media outlets and various experts and officials, not by Russia But of course many dimwits on the left believed the "RUSSIA!!!!!!!!!" nonsense because..... Why exactly?
Well, hang on a sec. Did you happen to examine the links to parts of the story on that politico "investigation"? Aside from linking to politico (natch) the vast majority are to MSM reporting on the story. I don't think that really helps your point that they got it wrong, when their reporting is what is used. I don't understand, either, why you insist that I only read left-leaning/MSM sources. You have no basis for that, because it isn't true. However, long years of experience have shown me that CNN, WaPo and NYT are more likely to have the facts than Breitbart, NYPost and the WSJ editorial page. Is that concept too difficult or far-fetched for you?

Why exactly?Just a reminder that a few of our resident gullible saps were INSISTENT this was all Russian nonsense and the story was nonsense. https://www.waygook.org/index.php?topic=117567.2480Seriously why do you guys (MayorHaggar, Mr. C, etc.) keep giving the MSM the benefit of the doubt after they've effed up so many times? Like, after this is it any surprise 1/3rd of the American public on the right completely distrusts the MSM and is prone to believe in conspiracy theories? And that's before we get to the Sandernistas on the left who also think a lot of the same things...
Marty is still trying to push the Hunter Biden story which the Trumpers really hoped would be devastating to Daddy Biden's campaign. Turns out there wasn't much to it apart from the disgraced exploits of a screwed-up, drug-addicted man. Just like the left didn't really push the coke-fueled rants of Don Jr.
Not much to it? He was taking money from Ukraine and China and giving a percentage to his dad. Any other century and he would be shot for treason.

The MSM were all calling the Hunter Biden story "Russian Disinformation" at the start and refusing to give it credence. Now they're changing their tune.Because if you did, you should be able to suss out when the MSM is full of it and when the conservative media is full of it, but you just go in one direction. CNN being more likely than FOXNews to be accurate isn't some great accomplishment nor a reason to trust them. It just means relative to FOXNews they have a somewhat increased chance of being more accurate.
If this way of looking at things leads to "thinking" the way you do, no thanks!
Who on the right gives factual, unbiased news information that is actually respected and referenced by right-wingers?
You were the one who was wrong about the Hunter Biden story. It wasn't made-up. It wasn't disinformation. It wasn't a right-wing conspiracy theory. The MSM outlets should have ran the story and the fact they didn't looks rather suspect now. You went hard that this story was a bunch of baloney. You were flat-out wrong. If you read the non-denial denials of the Biden camp at the time, you should have realized that yes, it probably was his laptop and he probably has some dodgy stuff on it (hence the propaganda effort by various experts and officials to label it Russian misinformation) but it also probably wasn't that damaging to Joe, hence the lack of full-on panic by the Dem apparatus. But nope, you went with it being a bunch of baloney. Why? Because it's just team team team team team.
He was giving a percentage to his dad? Really?Seems pretty unlikely that his dad would accept it, being a career politician and all.
Yes his emails say 10% to the big guy the big guy is Joe Biden. I don't get it. Are you saying that it didn't happen, or saying that it is okay because that is what politicians do? If they were taking money from the Chinese then the Chinese have dirt on them, so they are compromised. This is not fake like Russia.
Damn! Get this information to the US District Attorney. Let's indict Joe Biden now based on the sole information of "the big guy". Thanks for the laughs as always!
So you are telling me that the big guy who has used repeated before is not his dad? And yes it would warrant an investigation. But that is not all, his business partner is talking and is willing to testify. He got billions of dollars to invest days after landing on a plane in China with his dad as Vice President. He is also pictured in hotel with a known honey pot ccp Chinese actress.
Dude, you went from explaining it as a perfectly normal behavior of a busy person to justifying your opinion of it as being because Hunter Biden was a crazed, drug-addled lunatic along with his assistant. You think you were behaving skeptically or had you totally bought into the right-wing narrative? No, I'll stay on this side, thanks.What, by the way, has turned up in the laptop related to Biden's illegal dealings with Burisma?
