I mean, the whole laptop story was clearly held back and conveniently timed by political actors in an attempt to manipulate the media. I have my problems with NPR, but I'll go on the record and respect them for not playing ball and doing proper due diligence.
- TylerE 4y agoIt was being manipulated from both sides. If you had serious evidence against the son of the sitting president, your first reaction should not be to mail the thing, untracked and uninsured to TUCKER CARLSON.
- Wolfenstein98k 4y agoSure, but they certainly seemed to apply less scepticism and due diligence to the Trump Russia stuff.
- legitster 4y agoFWIW: NPR was also pretty hands off on the Steele dossier. But I don't know what level of due diligence you need on the other stuff. Most of the incriminating connections between Trump's orgs and Russian agents were pretty largely substantiated - sometimes by Trump's own words and actions.
