That seems to be a self-fulfilling strategy: punish your enemies, and then they can no longer be trusted when they say negative things about you.

"punish your enemies, and then they can no longer be trusted when they say negative things about you."

This was done to the Republicans for 4 years. I suppose he's just using the same strategy?

NPR wouldn't report on things that would actually hurt the Biden administration, like the laptop, so why should I believe them now? I haven't trusted them for years...the fact that my tax dollars aren't paying for it anymore is only a bonus.

This is why they can't be trusted: Non-biased reporting will report bad things about a politician they support, even if it helps the person they don't support.

In addition to this, the actual article is a nothingburger. They moved secure information from one non-Internet connected server to another. If this is the standard for security reporting, the violations found during the 2020 election should have been front-page news for weeks...but they were strangely silent..............
