Your bias is showing. Good article overall, but you repeatedly state the Hunter Biden laptop story is false. Yet some of those in the email chain have verified authenticity of the emails. And how do you “fake” a whole Mac hard drive contents? I don’t believe it is possible.

Plus: * The hard drive wasn’t “stolen” - it was forfeited when the customer didn’t pick it up and pay the bill. That’s called a mechanic’s lien. Try taking your car into the shop and then never pick it up - same thing happens. * So at that point the laptop belongs to the shop. * How is it “stolen”, then? * If I had a laptop like that in my possession, I would be afraid too, and want to hand it off!

You’re being disingenuous :-/

Do you have a URL for this? I haven't found anything in my searching to indicate anything like this happening?

Fox News has claimed to have contacted one of the correspondents on one of the email chains, who verified its authenticity.

Not exactly a smoking gun, is it? A partisan media outfit owned by the same person as the paper publishing them in the first place using an anonymous source with no information about how they confirmed it to be authentic ... compared to the cast iron proof of the DKIM headers which still remain conspicuously absent.

If this story wasn't about sensorship I wouldn't be laughing.
