Justice cited National Public Radio’s previous declaration that “We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories,” and “CBS’s Lesley Stahl categorically rejected the emails put the Biden family under any scandal at all” during a hostile interview with President Trump just weeks before the election. He then pointed out: “NewsGuard is a ‘fact checking’ partner that works to determine whether news stories are ‘misinformation’....Nearly every outlet that opted to ignore or discredit the [New York] Post’s reporting [on Hunter Biden] maintains a near-perfect rating from NewsGuard’s accuracy and credibility score.”
