Late last week the New York Times finally admitted what most already knew: the emails on Hunter Biden's laptop from hell were real and not "Russian disinformation" like many in the leftist media were claiming. Yet despite their favorite paper finally facing reality, there's been almost no coverage of Hunter Biden's laptop. This led Fox News Channel's Jesse Watters to slam the leftist media for their refusal to even acknowledge the New York Times's sudden about-face.
"The Left’s Hunter Biden cover-up continues," Watters proclaimed at the beginning of the segment on his popular weeknight show Jesse Waters Primetime. "Now that the New York Times finally authenticated the laptop from hell you would think we’d get apologies from the media for years of lies." He remarked how "we all learned from a young age that ignoring our problems only makes them worse. But apparently, the media never got that memo."
Watters then tore into CNN's Brian Stelter for ignoring the Hunter Biden story on his Sunday show Reliable Sources: "Brian Stelter, disinformation expert who said the laptop was a classic example of the right-wing media machine gave the story zero seconds of air time on Reliable Sources since it broke last week. I guess the New York Times is no longer a reliable source."
The Fox host speculated that the media "can't admit it's real because then they really have to tear into the big guy," referring to President Joe Biden. Watters continued:
While Hunter was making tens of millions from China, Joe Biden was supposed to be getting kickbacks getting monthly bills paid for by Hunter. He was allegedly even getting a percentage in exchange for meetings with Chinese businessmen. Hunter's lawyer said he resigned from the board of the Chinese investment fund in October of 2019 but we know he still had a stake while Joe was getting ready for the presidency. Did Hunter really even divest?
Continuing to speculate why the media are being so silent about the story, Watters wondered "does China have anything on Hunter or Joe? Joe covered up the lab leak."
He then brought up the double standard between the way Hunter's laptop is covered versus the way they covered the Trump/Russia collusion story: "the media spent two years salivating over whether the Russians had compromised Trump with no evidence. Now they’re sitting on a laptop of evidence that Biden could be compromised by the Chinese and the media won't cover it!"
The media will go to any lengths to hide bad news about Democrats from their audience.

Now that the New York Times finally authenticated the laptop from hell you would think we’d get apologies from the media for years of lies. We all learned from a young age that ignoring our problems only makes them worse. But apparently, the media never got that memo. Brian Stelter, disinformation expert who said the laptop was a classic example of the right-wing media machine gave the story zero seconds of air time on Reliable Sources since it broke last week. I guess the New York Times is no longer a reliable source. And what about 60 Minutes? Did they issue a correction for saying the laptop was fake?

They can't admit it's real because then they really have to tear into the big guy. While Hunter was making tens of millions from China, Joe Biden was supposed to be getting kickbacks getting monthly bills paid for by Hunter. He was allegedly even getting a percentage in exchange for meetings with Chinese businessmen. Hunter's lawyer said he resigned from the board of the Chinese investment fund in October of 2019 but we know he still had a stake while Joe was getting ready for the presidency. Did Hunter really even divest? Biden and Chinese President XI have been having these one on one calls since Joe has been in office. Just last week they had nearly a 2-hour call. And the White House released a small paragraph about the call. They said it was all about Russia.
I mean, I know there is a translator, but two hours is a pretty long call. You’d think Joe would give us an answer about what he talked to the Chinese about for two hours. Does China have anything on Hunter or Joe? Joe covered up the lab leak. So maybe! We don't know. The media spent two years salivating over whether the Russians had compromised Trump with no evidence. Now they’re sitting on a laptop of evidence that Biden could be compromised by the Chinese and the media won't cover it!
