1. There is no "media blackout" of the Hunter Biden story, his alleged laptop or Tony Bobulinski.
The problem is the story makes absolutely no sense.
Follow along if interested.

2. The core issue is that even if every email from the laptop is legitimate and everything Tony Bobulinski alleges is true, it does not prove any wrongdoing by Biden.
That's why its not a story.

3. Tony Bobulinski is not a "business partner" of Hunter Biden. He was discussing business with Hunter Biden and the business fell through. He is CEO of a company that never did any business and is worth nothing.
4. Even if Bobulinski had done business with Hunter Biden (he didn't) and even if Joe Biden was involved (he wasn't, according to corporate records) it would not be a scandal.
After leaving the White House, George W. Bush gave paid speeches in China

5. Was George W. Bush "trading on his name" to extract cash from China. Yes. But that is not really a scandal after leaving office.
Again, there is absolutely no evidence Biden did this.
But it just shows that the entire narrative is very flimsy.

6. The gift to Trump and his allies was Facebook and Twitter's incompetent response to this story. Their platforms are optimized to spread misinformation. So they made a lot of noise about reducing the spread of this story, not wanting a 2016 repeat.
But there was no coherence.

7. Facebook said it was reducing the spread of the story pending a fact check but the story got massive distribution on the platform and was never fact-checked
Twitter banned sharing the link and then reversed, giving it more attention than it deserved

8. Let me add also that it was clear well before this that Hunter Biden acted unethically during the Obama administration. He was trying to trade on his name for cash. But he's a 50-year-old man. It does not tell you anything about Joe Biden.
9. I personally don't feel any need to "ignore" the Hunter Biden story. I've been following it quite closely. But there is just nothing there. It's a fever dream of Rudy Giuliani and Bannon. If someone has evidence otherwise, I'm all ears.
