In addition, I have my doubts about the reliability and validity of SOCMINT in general.

They blocked the link to the breaking New York Post story from being shared on Twitter, and used a letter written by 51 former intelligence officials to instill doubt on a mountain of evidence of corruption. The Hunter Biden laptop was true, though, and my vote would have been different had AP and others taken a brave stance and reported the truth. I feel betrayed. Was the election stolen through manipulated voting machines? I don't think it was. However, the intelligence establishment has interfered with our elections so much through media manipulation that these claims of a "stolen election" ultimately ring true in a wider and arguably more important sense.
