Excuse me, do you have any reputable sources for the so-called "Biden laptop" story being anything but Russian propaganda? Right-wing blogs spreading Russian propaganda don't count.

Yes. Go to the New York Times, Washington Post, etc… Need a link? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/16/us/politics/hunter-biden-tax-bill-investigation.html https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/16/us/politics/hunter-biden-...

  The NYT is pretty unambiguous that the laptop is disinformation: > Russian intelligence officers were using Mr. Giuliani, who provided the hard drive copy to the tabloid, as a conduit for disinformation aimed at undermining Mr. Biden’s presidential run. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/22/us/politics/hunter-biden-laptop.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/22/us/politics/hunter-biden-... Also, if you're going to break HN rules by using your account to do ideological battle and spread disinformation, maybe make it a little less obvious in your username?

    Did you not read that the New York Times changed their mind a year after your story? Go read the article I linked that was published a full year after your article. Shame on you for spreading misinformation.

      Ctrl-F "laptop" in your article only comes up with a link to the one I quoted. Nice try.

Here you go: NYPost: Washington Post, New York Times finally admit Hunter’s laptop is real — but only to protect Joe Biden some more https://nypost.com/2022/04/01/new-york-times-finally-admit-hunters-laptop-is-real-but-only-to-protect-joe-biden/amp/ https://nypost.com/2022/04/01/new-york-times-finally-admit-h...

How about the NY Times? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/16/us/politics/hunter-biden-tax-bill-investigation.html https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/16/us/politics/hunter-biden-... > Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. Either the NY Times is a "right-wing blog spreading Russian propaganda" or the fact that they based this story on the contents of the laptop is a tacit admission that it's authentic.

    I don't see that quote in the article I linked. Perhaps you got it from an older one, where they were still pretending it wasn't authentic?

What's the evidence for any Russian involvement at all? https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/hunter-biden-laptop-investigation.html https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/hunter-biden-laptop-...

Pretty much everything about Hunter Biden that was decried as "disinformation" or "Russian propaganda" has turned out to be true. The laptop story was squelched just prior to the election. https://nypost.com/2022/04/01/new-york-times-finally-admit-hunters-laptop-is-real-but-only-to-protect-joe-biden/ https://nypost.com/2022/04/01/new-york-times-finally-admit-h... https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/16/us/politics/hunter-biden-tax-bill-investigation.html https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/16/us/politics/hunter-biden-... https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/analysis-hunter-bidens-hard-drive-shows-firm-took-11-million-2013-2018-rcna29462 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/analysis-...
