The New York Times' confirmation that Hunter Biden's laptop and its contents are legitimate has gone unnoticed by the mainstream media.

The New York Times published a detailed report on Wednesday about the Justice Department's ongoing investigation of President Joe Biden's son and how a grand jury is still gathering witness testimony and data related to his international business transactions.

Mainstream Media, Big Tech Avoid NYT Revelation about Hunter Biden

According to Grabien transcripts, ABC, CBS, and NBC made no mention of Hunter Biden on their morning and primetime newscasts on Thursday and Friday. Despite being 24-hour news networks, neither CNN nor MSNBC gave coverage to the unfolding issue.

The New York Times went to considerable measures to discredit the reporting as well. This week, the so-called "paper of record" changed its tune, Fox News reported.

In November, the five networks mostly ignored a New York Times piece alleging that while his father was vice president, an investment business led by Hunter Biden helped a Chinese company buy one of the world's most profitable cobalt mines from an American corporation.

The story reignited questions about possible conflicts of interest and if the current president was aware of his son's business operations, which Joe Biden previously denied.

In addition, when the New York Post tried to share the stories on Twitter in 2020, the social media company said it was against its rules to share "hacked" information. The story's distribution was likewise restricted by Facebook, per Washington Examiner.

Because of Twitter and Facebook stifling the news just days before a major presidential debate between then-President Donald Trump and candidate Joe Biden, the latter was able to dismiss the laptop emails as Russian misinformation, a position that members of his team had been repeating for months.

White House Deflects Hunter Biden's Foreign Deals

Meanwhile, the White House brushed aside concerns that Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings were causing conflicts of interest while his father negotiates with China and Russia on a global scale.

Press secretary Jen Psaki had no new information on a 2020 Senate Homeland Security and Finance Committee inquiry investigating charges that a firm tied to the younger Biden received $3.5 million in 2014 from Russian oligarch Elena Baturina, the ex-wife of Moscow's mayor.

According to another Washington Examiner report, Hunter Biden's position as a 10% stakeholder of the Chinese government-connected investment firm BHR Partners was also pressed on Psaki. Skaneateles is still listed as a 10% owner in BHR in China's National Credit Information Publicity System corporate documents retrieved last week, and a Washington, D.C. counterpart shows the younger Biden as Skaneateles' lone beneficial owner.

The deflections come after the elder Biden spent almost two hours in the Situation Room via secure video link with Chinese General Secretary Xi Jinping, as US intelligence says Russia has sought China for military and financial support to aid its invasion of Ukraine.

Donald Trump Joins Others in Condemning Censorship of Hunter Biden's Story

With its report verifying the legitimacy of Hunter Biden's laptop and its contents, the New York Times acknowledged to being a part of an effort to "rig" the election for Joe Biden, according to Trump.

Republicans were outraged with the media for ignoring the news in the run-up to Joe Biden's victory, as well as social media sites like as Twitter and Facebook for proclaiming the report to be false.

The ex-POTUS was further vindicated after Lesley Stahl told him during a 60 Minutes interview in October 2020 that the contents of the laptop could not be confirmed and that it had previously been probed by Republicans in the Senate.

After creating a copy of the laptop's hard drive, the owner of the laptop repair shop notified the FBI. The laptop and its hard drive were confiscated by the FBI. Other contents of the laptop obtained by Daily Mail show how the first son would spend tens of thousands of dollars on drugs and prostitutes while in a drug-induced stupor.
