It's unfortunate that the @NYPost is one of the few large US outlets willing to hold accountable the cretins in the US security state for the lies they told about the Biden emails being "Russian disinformation" - designed to manipulate the 2020 election - but that's our reality:

These "former intelligence officials" - trained career disinformation agents, who were supposed to manipulate other countries' politics, not the US's - have the same contempt for the public as the media outlets they command: refuse to admit their lies:

Here's a great breakdown from @vanguard_pod -- one of the best and most honest left-wing shows on the internet -- about the role played by @theintercept's editors in spreading the CIA's "Russian disinformation" line, and how @TheYoungTurks supported them:

And, just by the way, it's been 48 hours since the outlet they regard as "The Paper of Record" stated they authenticated the emails in the Hunter Biden archive about Joe's activities. Not a single media outlet that spread the CIA lie has acknowledged it or retracted their lies.

Outside of CNN and MSNBC, @PBump is arguably the single most partisan DNC hack in all corporate media. He defends CIA's lie that the Biden laptop was "Russian disinformation" without explicitly noting that the NYT authenticated it (just threw in a link).

At the time CIA got huge numbers of corporate outlets to spread its lie that the Biden laptop was "Russian disinformation," actual reporters at the WPost warned Biden constantly maligns incriminating reports as "Russian disinformation" with no evidence:

One interesting historical note: The co-author of the first NYT article, from 2019, that really explored how Biden's actions in Ukraine benefitted Burisma as it paid Hunter $50k/month was @IuliiaMendel, who 1 month later became Zelensky's Press Secretary.

Also worth re-visiting: this 2017 @Politico article on how Ukrainian officials tried to influence the 2016 US Presidential election by working with DNC operatives to help Hillary and undermine Trump, based on their belief that Hillary would win.

Here's the worst pathological liar in the US Congress bar none, @AdamSchiff, repeating, in Oct 2020, the CIA lie to Wolf that the emails from the Biden laptop were "Russian disinformation" (Blitzer and CNN also affirmed this lie on their own of course):
