With News of Hunter Biden's Criminal Probe, Recall the Media Outlets That Peddled the "Russian Disinformation" Lie

Glenn Greenwald was never a Trump supporter. Indeed he’s a lifetime Democrat. But he was outraged at the manipulation and suppression of information about the Bidens by the US media and intelligence communities before the election, and has been banging on about it for a while now. He even quit from the Intercept, an online magazine he himself founded, over the issue. He has another go at it here, because it’s now come out, finally, in the MSM

In sum, we have the extraordinary historic disgrace of media outlets collaborating with the intelligence community in the weeks before a presidential election to manufacture and peddle a propagandistic lie to justify censorship of highly relevant materials about the presidential front-runner and his family’s efforts to profit off his name — namely, that the documents were not authentic but rather “Russian disinformation.”

It is vital to recall which media outlets did this and how they deceived the public yet again.  Read on....

Reasons for this?

Leading up to the 2020 election, much of the U.S. media and Silicon Valley giants decided that ensuring Trump’s defeat was such an overarching goal, a moral imperative, that anything and everything was justified to achieve it — including uniting with the professional liars of the CIA to disseminate blatant falsehoods about the Hunter Biden materials in order to discredit them, lead the public to believe they should be ignored, and justify their own burying and censoring of these materials.
