> The hunter Biden stuff is disinformation in that it was being used to imply joe had something to do with hunters actions.

This has been the go-to defense in the media for why the Hunter Biden stories don't matter. But this is just more media disinformation. There are messages from Hunter literally complaining that Joe makes Hunter pay 50% of his salary to his dad, and that he isn't allowed to move any money around without his or his lawyer's approval. This is clear corruption. There's also messages where the Secret Service was bailing Hunter out of his (illegal) actions again and again. There's also content that's been leaked that makes it impossible to understand how Hunter isn't in prison right now for soliciting underage prostitutes if there's not more corruption than that going on.

Yeah, that whole story was probably the moment I was done with the media altogether. Them condescendingly explaining after the fact that sure, it might have been real, but they didn't want to report on it to protect me was enough for me.
