Will the board also review the suspension of the NY Post account?

Probably not. That newspaper LITERALLY makes things up. See this recent story: https://thehill.com/homenews/media/550599-reporter-who-wrote-viral-ny-post-story-about-harris-book-at-the-border-resigns https://thehill.com/homenews/media/550599-reporter-who-wrote... It's one thing to get something wrong in a story, it's another to actively make things up and present them as news. NY Post is not worth wiping your shoes on, let alone reading.

  But they were suspended for what seems to be accurate reporting on the existence of a laptop that used to be owned by Hunter Biden, and which contains a lot of information that could have been interesting to voters in the 2020 election cycle.

    Was I downvoted because (a) the laptop doesn't exist, (b) the laptop wasn't Hunter Biden's, or (c) it didn't contain any information that might be interesting to a voter in 2020?

      Seems like (b). I can't really find any evidence with proof a laptop owned by Hunter Biden actually existed and was somehow found in a pawn shop, given to Rudy Giuliani, then to the FBI, found to be filled with "evidence", then totally suppressed. It's all such a ludicrous story with no real proof that people (like you) who talk about it tend to get dismissed. I'm generally for dismissal of the conversation like this (downvoting and hiding it) because generally it tends to turn towards more stories with little or no evidence and doesn't really bring anything new to the table. That being said, I find it funny that people want an exciting story about a forgotten laptop when it's generally well accepted that Hunter Biden accepted a job he wasn't qualified for in a foreign country. For me that's pretty clearly nepotism at best and harming the interests of your own country at worst, and displays a clear lack of judgement. But Americans like a conspiracy theory...

  The suspension happened right in the middle of an election. Comparing that valuable reporting time to now is ridiculous.

    Again, what suspension?

        That's not a suspension.

        From my recollection, twitter blocked NYP from posting until they took down a post with the link to their laptop article, which NYP refused to do.
