NYPost bosses pressed staff to add their bylines to the sketchy Hunter Biden story. They refused. More red flags uncovered in the latest laundering of Russian disinformation that Repubs have been trying to make a thing since Biden became the Dem nominee. nytimes.com/2020/10/18/bus…
NYPost's own staff questioned whether the paper had verified the authenticity of the hard drive contents. Staff also questioned the reliability of the sources—Bannon & Giuliani—& the timing. Rudy even admits nobody else would publish it w/o more scrutiny! It's disinformation ffs! 
The staff reporter who wrote NYPost's front-page Hunter Biden story refused to put his name on it. Who refuses a byline on a front page story and lets a newbie fmr Foxnewsie take credit? Someone who knows the diff between journalism & disinformation to interfere in an election.
NPR's @davidfolkenflik reported on the glaring red flags in the NYPost story, including the byline of a former producer for Hannity—top Trump propagandist on Foxnews. NPR concluded the Hunter Biden piece was not credible news journalism but speculative partisan advocacy.

@davidfolkenflik NPR also reported Bannon's role in the disinformation campaign, teasing an October surprise in an interview w/ a Dutch outlet, claiming he had a copy of Hunter Biden's hard drive.
Could this smell more like Russian disinformation??
You have to wonder about Russian hackers too.

@davidfolkenflik Don't forget we learned in January that Russian hackers hacked Burisma. At the time, it seemed linked to helping Trump deflect impeachment by ramping up disinformation about Biden. Did Russian hackers hack Hunter Biden & give emails to Bannon and/or Rudy?
