The Hunter Laptop story could have had a significant impact on the 2020 presidential election had social media companies and the mainstream press not censored it. This raises the question of whether Donald Trump would have won reelection if the laptop story was not suppressed and ignored. While it is difficult to say for sure, the fact that 58.5 million Americans had already cast their votes before the story broke suggests that it may not have changed the outcome.
When the New York Post first reported on the laptop story in October 2020, Twitter locked its account. It appeared that former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was threatening the publication by stating that its account would only be unlocked if it deleted its tweet. Additionally, the mainstream press not only suppressed the story but published articles claiming that the laptop was part of a Russian disinformation campaign. However, we now know that the laptop is real, and the letter about it was likely politically motivated.
Former Acting CIA Director Mike Morrell recently revealed that he wrote the letter in question because he wanted Joe Biden to win the election and needed a talking point for his debate with Donald Trump. Emails on the laptop connect Hunter Biden with CEFC Energy, a Chinese energy company that had close ties to Chinese military intelligence. Furthermore, three of Hunter Biden’s business associates had documented personal ties with Chinese intelligence. These connections raise serious questions about the Biden family’s ties to China.
Despite attempts to dismiss it as a ‘conspiracy theory,’ the Hunter Biden laptop story may have influenced the outcome of the election. A TIPP poll conducted in August 2020 found that 79% of respondents would have changed their vote had they known the story was real. Furthermore, a poll by the Conservative Media Research Center found that 17% of Biden voters would not have voted for him had they known about the laptop story. This information suggests that the story could have impacted the election in a significant way.
The FBI’s involvement in the story raises even more questions about its suppression. Independent journalist Michael Shellenberger reported that the FBI instructed social media companies to be on the lookout for Russian disinformation. However, this appears to have been a smokescreen for the FBI’s collusion with social media companies to suppress the story. The fact that they have had the laptop since December 2019 and have not charged Hunter Biden with anything raises concerns that he is being protected because of his father’s position.
It’s not just the FBI that may be protecting Hunter Biden. The fact that the mainstream press and social media companies went out of their way to suppress the story suggests that they may also have been complicit. Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s attempt to silence the New York Post’s account and the countless articles disputing the laptop’s authenticity are just two examples of this. These actions raise serious questions about the media’s willingness to suppress information that is not politically convenient.
One explanation for the media and social media companies’ actions could be that they have a political agenda. Many have accused them of having a left-leaning bias, and the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story may be evidence of this. It is concerning that the media, which is supposed to report fairly and impartially, is willing to silence stories that do not support their narrative. This only serves to undermine the trust that people have in the media.
Another possible explanation for their actions is that they were worried that the story would hurt Joe Biden’s campaign. If the story had been more widely reported, it may have cast doubts on Biden’s credibility and raised questions about his ties to China. Given the close relationship between the mainstream press and the Democratic Party, it’s possible that they viewed it as their duty to protect Biden’s candidacy.
Regardless of the reasons behind the media and social media companies’ actions, it is clear that they had a significant impact on the election. The fact that millions of Americans were unaware of the story or did not believe it to be true when they voted is evidence of this. It highlights the importance of a free and impartial media that is not beholden to political interests.
The suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story raises significant questions about free speech and press freedom. It is not the role of the media or social media companies to decide what stories should or should not be reported. Their duty is to report the facts as they see them and to allow the public to decide for themselves. The censorship of the laptop story is evidence of a dangerous trend in which ideas and viewpoints that do not fit with the establishment narrative are being silenced.
It is essential that we defend free speech and press freedom, regardless of our political beliefs. The importance of these values cannot be overstated, and the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story is evidence of this. We must resist attempts by the media and social media companies to censor ideas and viewpoints that they disagree with.
In conclusion, the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story had a significant impact on the 2020 presidential election. It is impossible to say for sure whether Donald Trump would have won if the story had been more widely reported, but it is clear that the media and social media companies played a role in suppressing it. This raises serious questions about the integrity of our media and the dangers of censorship.
We must defend free speech and press freedom, regardless of our political beliefs, and resist attempts by the media and social media companies to silence ideas and viewpoints that they disagree with. Furthermore, we must hold accountable those responsible for suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story. The American people deserve to know the truth and make an informed decision when they vote.
It is our responsibility as citizens to ensure that the media and social media companies act in the public interest and not to serve their own political agenda. We must demand transparency and accountability from those in power and hold them to the highest standards. Only then can we ensure that our democracy remains strong and vibrant, and that our voices are heard.
The suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story was a blatant attack on free speech and press freedom, and a betrayal of the American people. We must not allow our democracy to be undermined by those who seek to silence dissenting voices. It is up to us to ensure that our voices are heard and that the truth prevails.
