I've begun to wonder if it isn't somewhere in the middle. Perhaps the emails, texts, and photos are real but from a Russian hack and are being selectively released in an effort to paint Hunter Biden in the worst possible light hop

Thank you, this is the most compelling case I've seen here for the emails being real. I don't know that I reach the same conclusions as you though. The lack of denials is disconcerting and does imply some elements of truth in the

I still don't think you know what that word means. Every non-partisan news source sees through the NY Post and Giuliani which is why it looks like this is being suppressed by the main-stream media, because they require corroboration su

In order to determine impartiality you have to use your brain to think through what the themes of every article coming from the paper are. An impartial source of news will be critical of both sides, a biased source of news is only critical

Not sure if you watched the video at the top of that page but the word "allegedly" was emphasized in describing the emails provenance. Where's the verification?

I don't read papers that aren't trustworthy so I can't tell you. I suspect that posts starting to go viral get flagged more urgently than a run of the mill tabloid story.

There is some level of irony that Republicans, who are notoriously anti-regulation, want more regulation when an unregulated industry negatively impacts them.

The twitter user is making a rational argument about the claims in the tabloid article. The twitter users claims are demonstrably true. There is no trust involved in understanding the twitter users thesis. There are oodles of trust involv

If the data was acquired through an alternative means then what was stated doesn't that raise questions about the validity of the claims against Hunter Biden? I mean, liars are gonna lie about more than one thing.

In my defense, that article was published around the time I was writing the comment. If I see the DKIM I'll start buying that there's smoke but until then I don't trust the messengers.

The conclusion of the investigation was that it wasn't reasonable to indict a sitting President not that nothing illegal happened. In fact, the wording danced right up to the fact that something illegal did happen but the President

Only one side has come up with 'alternative facts' and argued that conclusive science is 'still out'. I've seen hypocrisy on both sides for sure but the intellectual dishonesty is only coming from one.
