This is from the same guy who just got fired "resigned" from the Independant for pushing the bullshit Hunter Biden laptop conspiracy theory. The guy has fallen off his rocker and lost all credibility imo.

> Mr. Greenwald later posted on Substack what he called “the most recent draft” of the article, which was headlined “The Real Scandal: U.S. Media Uses Falsehoods to Defend Joe Biden From Hunter’s Emails.”
- artvark11 6y agoWhat is bullshit about the laptop story? Where did those pictures come from? It's clearly a smear campaign but it's not a conspiracy.
- mistermann 6y agoThere was also some video of "a rather sensitive personal nature". Who knows where it all came from (was it on the laptop, was it obtained elsewhere and planted on a laptop), but the story certainly isn't a complete nothing burger.
- anonfornoreason 6y agoThere was a great post here on HN showing someone using DKIM to validate authenticity of some of the emails (ones from gmail at least), so it’s clearly not completely bullshit. For what it’s worth, Greenwald and Taibbi both covered it and didn’t say “this is why joe Biden shouldn’t be elected”, they covered it as “why is the media refusing to cover a story that is worth covering”. Big difference. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24953454 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24953454
- MaxDPS 6y agoYea, but from what I remember the email that was validated didn’t show anything incriminating. It was asking if they could get access to Biden but there was no reply one way or another. Which means we don’t even know if he read it.
