Today, Facebook chairman Mark Zuckerberg made a series of startling but not unexpected admissions to the House Judiciary Committee. A series of bombshells contained in a single letter, really. But none of these admissions warranted any coverage on the network evening news or other Regime Media outlets.
The Zuckerberg letter, published on X by the Committee, contains three fundamental items. First, the admission that the Biden-Harris Administration coerced Meta into censoring certain Covid-related posts. Second, an admission of suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story. Third, a promise of no further election interference via “Zuckerbucks”.
Mark Zuckerberg just admitted three things:

1. Biden-Harris Admin "pressured" Facebook to censor Americans.
2. Facebook censored Americans.
3. Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Here is how the letter was covered on Newsnation:

LELAND VITTERT: Some of the very best lines in American politics do not come from real politicians, but from our favorite movie presidents. One of mine is Andrew Shepherd.
ANDREW SHEPHERD (AS PORTRAYED BY MICHAEL DOUGLAS IN THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT): You want to claim this land is a land of the free, then the symbol of your country cannot just be a flag. The symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Now show me that. Defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then you can stand up and sing about the land of the free.
VITTERT: The land of the free. With free speech. But both here and around the world, we've lost that concept of free speech. France just arrested the founder of Telegram. It’s an encrypted phone app that allows dissidents and political opposition figures to communicate secretly. You might remember an official from the European Union threatened Elon Musk over his interview with Donald Trump. The United Kingdom now promises jail time for those spreading misinformation, otherwise known as information that the ruling party in the United Kingdom doesn't like. The list goes on. Here in America, the most liberal among us want to ban speech they don't like. Hunter Biden's laptop, of course, comes to mind. In fact, within the past 20 minutes, the House Judiciary Committee just released a bombshell letter from Mark Zuckerberg. This is not the House Judiciary Committee's letter. This is Meta. Facebook's letter. Chairman Jim Jordan says the letter proves the Biden-Harris Administration pressured Facebook to censor Americans and the company jid- did just that by hiding the Hunter Biden laptop story from users. Of course, not since the Civil War have Americans faced more attempts to regulate our free speech.
The story broke in the middle of the evening news. However, none of the streaming services or cable news shows have picked the story up since it broke.
By any reasonable standard, an admission of censorship in the name of public safety would be a huge story. Likewise, the suppression of a major story in service of election interference. Ditto the end of Zuckerbucks. All three at the same time should be a monumental story on their own.
And this is precisely why the Regime Media must suppress this bombshell of a story. To report it now, at this juncture, is tantamount to an admission of corruption.
Consider the Regime Media’s reaction to news of the Trump Administration coercing social media companies into censoring posts that question the government’s covid response. Consider how the Regime Media might have reported the laptop story had its owner (with its underlying shadiness) not been Hunter Biden but Donald Trump, Jr. This would be a wholly different ballgame.
We all know it. The Regime Media’s non-coverage of the Zuckerberg letter proves it.
