Not all leftist media members are totally dishonest: Matt Taibbi edition

 Matt's a left winger but he doesn't like media censorship. He's got an interesting editorial at the New York Post where he points out that media deliberately hiding information damaging to Biden is not good for America.

He points out that if someone had come across Trump Jr's computer and it contained emails showing Russian collusion the media would be all over the story.

Yet we have Hunter Biden's computer and Twitter locked the New York Post's Twitter account for 2 weeks and prevented people from sharing the story.  Jack Dorsey lied to the Senate when he said they did that because they have a policy against disseminating hacked material because Twitter didn't block the NYT story about Trump's tax returns.

While Hunter's laptop was no longer his property since the contract he'd signed said that if he didn't claim it within 90 days, and pay his bill, the computer became the property of the repair shop owner it's a Federal crime to reveal someone's tax returns without their permission.

So clearly any anti-hacking policy at Twitter is not implemented fairly.

Further if you look up information about the whole Ukraine Burisma scandal it's surrounded by "context" that basically tries to make what Joe did sound ok.

But the facts are clear:

• Hunter Biden has said to ABC on the air that the only reason that he got the job with Burisma was because he's Joe's son.
• Hunter has no experience in the energy sector which is where Burisma makes its money
• Never the less Hunter was paid between $50K and $83K a month by Burisma
• Then a corrupt Ukraine prosecutor started to investigate Burisma
• Suddenly Joe Biden tells the government of Ukraine that they have 6 hours to fire that prosecutor or they will lose $1B in US aid
• The prosecutor is fired and the investigations into Burisma are ended
• The one and only corrupt foreign official that Joe Biden personally got fired just happened to be the one and only corrupt foreign official who was investigating a company that was paying the Biden family millions of dollars

If we switched the Biden name for Trump the same people who are saying there's nothing to see here would be screaming for Trump to be perp walked out of the White House.

Taibbi points out that anyone who wanted to actually write about the Hunter Biden scandal faced huge headwinds and was unlikely to get their work into print but if a reporter wanted to fantasize about the whole thing being Russian disinformation they got only support.

While I don't agree with Taibbi about a lot I do admire the fact that he thinks that the media should be investigating all the evidence about Biden's corruption not ignoring it.

As he points out if the media are lying and suppressing information now they're likely to do it if Biden gets elected. And that's not good for we the people since we can't know what to support or oppose if we don't have the facts.
