It's been 24 hours since the NYT acknowledged the reported emails from the Biden laptop were authentic, as was the NY Post's story on how they obtained it.
*None* of the media outlets that spread the CIA's "Russian disinformation" lie has admitted what they did or retracted it👇
Besides Jen Psaki, one of the most aggressive spreaders of this CIA lie -- unsurprisingly -- former Obama national security aide @brhodes. He just emphatically asserted this lie over and over with no caveats:
Below, @tomselliott collects many - nowhere near all - of the media and political elites who spread the CIA lie over and over. Not a single one has acknowledged error let alone wrongdoing. They know they don't need to: liberal readers *want* them to lie.
The most amazing part of all this -- besides how many corporate journalists *cheered* Big Tech's censorship of the reporting -- is how even the trained career liars of the CIA acknowledged they had no evidence for this: a caveat media outlets *omitted* to make it seem proven.
Look at this amazing example: NBC's @HeidiNBC said the Biden laptop was "disinformation" just like the 2016 WikiLeaks release was -- where *every* doc was authentic!
For these media corporation, "disinformation" means: authentic facts that undermine Democratic Party leaders.
One key point: we should avoid treating yesterday's NYT admission that the laptop is authentic as the first time this was proven. @SchreckReports's book last year proved it. Most importantly, the proof that the archive was real was known from the start:
And never forget what Facebook did. It sent out a career Dem Party operative -- @AndyMStone -- to announce that FB was suppressing discussion of the Biden story pending "third-party fact checking." That never came because, of course, the docs were real:
For those asking: the link to the NYT article on the FBI investigation into Hunter Biden and their statement that they confirmed the authenticity of the documents on the laptop:
Now that we know "dozens" of former intelligence operatives invented the lie that the Biden laptop was "Russian disinformation" -- led by standard liars @JohnBrennan, James Clapper, @GenMhayden -- I'm sure media outlets will no longer rely on them to tell them what to say?
🤣
The lead spreader of CIA's "Russian disinformation" lie was Joe Biden. He'll never be asked to account for it. In fact, what proved the media's corrupt intent from the start was neither Biden denied their authenticity, yet media still claimed it was fake:
Wikipedia is more unreliable than ever: its editors are almost all liberals and you can watch any page change over time to adapt to liberal sensibilities. Look at this shit. Just one lie after the next:
I'll be on Fox News in the 8 pm hour to discuss why the corporate media outlets that spread the CIA's pre-election lie that the Biden laptop was "Russian disinformation" won't retract that lie, or even acknowledge the NYT's announcement that it authenticated the documents.

Left-liberal Twitch streamers and YouTube shows knew that to attract a pre-election audience (money), they had to tell their viewers Kamala was *clearly* winning.
So they randomly anointed a random Twitter user, @Ettingermentumv, into a data guru, who assured them all of it.
For months -- including just a couple weeks before the election -- this fraudulent partisan data guru kept saying the polls were wrong, the polling experts were wrong, the secret numbers he saw made clear that Kamala wasn't just ahead but ahead by a good distance.
This is as much a problem with partisan independent media as partisan corporate shows: they have to validate their viewers' desire to believe things even if untrue.
So after all the profit and Substack subscriptions were sold by this fraud, he wrote his "I-was-wrong" confession:
The belief that Joe Rogan and those like him are just an updated Fox News -- a non-stop messaging of right-wing ideology -- is beyond stupid.
Those podcasts grew organically: in part because they're not ideological or partisan. They're normal conversations: how humans speak.
Depicting Rogan as a far-right ideologue is something only those who never heard his show would say. AOC separated from Bernie's campaign after Bernie touted Rogan's endorsement.
He is a vehement defender of same-sex marriage. He believes in full freedom for adults' personal lives. He frequently argues that corporate power is suffocating the lives of ordinary people, etc. etc.
The most consequential - yet overlooked - Trump era change is many debates are no longer shaped by old left/right divisions, but instead by who loves, respects, and is loyal to institutions of authority (Dems) and who believes they're fundamentally corrupted (Trump supporters).
Today's NYT column by @ezraklein notes obvious exceptions (abortion, gun control), yet argues the key difference between Kamala and Trump voters is how much one likes US ruling institutions.
Hence, Dems love CIA, FBI, DHS, corporate media. Even views of corporate power changed.
@ezraklein Think about key debates. Which is right or left?
- Trust in large media corporations.
- Opposition to BigTech/state internet censorship.
- Opposition to funding endless wars (Ukraine).
- Eagerness to remain tied to NATO and EU-based institutions.
While many people in the West believe that Russia/Putin are "isolated" - because their media tells them that -- 2 dozen world leaders are in Russia now for a 3-day BRICS conference.
BRICS itself includes the 2 most-populous countries and 4 of the top 10 most populous.
Beyond the founding 5 (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), it expanded to 5 more (including key US "partners" Egypt, UAE and maybe Saudi).
They "account for 45% of the global population" and 28% of global economy.
Key goal: a financial system independent of US dollar.
There's Western skepticism and even mockery that this huge confederation of countries -- united over perceived abuses of US/EU sanctions -- could create a non-dollar system. @TheEconomist takes it seriously.
Inacreditável que Alexandre de Moraes esteja constantemente concentrando em si próprio a figura de suposta vítima, investigador policial, promotor e o juiz - em seus próprios interesses.
Não há democracia onde uma pessoa pode investigar criminalmente o jornalismo que a reporta.
@lf_ponde @folha Aqui também: um ótimo artigo de @lygia_maria sobre a visão perturbada e perigosa de Moraes, a marca registrada de uma mentalidade tirana:
Que qualquer crítica ou questionamento feita ele é em si "um ataque à democracia" e, portanto, um crime.
