Members of the media from outlets that wrongly insisted Hunter Biden’s laptop was disinformation claim they don’t have egg on their face, despite Twitter owner Elon Musk’s revelations.
Much like the Washington Post, network news outlets largely dismissed or downplayed the story at the outset. Over an 18-month period, ABC, CBS, and NBC spent only 25 minutes discussing the story, and when they were, they often called it Russian"misinformation."
"I think that news organizations and reporters were obviously in hindsight too quick to believe that the laptop was a product of Russian misinformation, disinformation," they added."That was kind of an assumption that was taken by a hell of a lot of reporters and news organizations... If it had been Don Jr's laptop, it's not too much of a stretch to think it would have been handled differently.
Many criticized Taibbi for even reporting on the story, and the Washington Post framed the news as Musk igniting divisions and failing to bend"the will" of Democrats. The major Sunday shows on ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN devoted a total of seven seconds to the story, prompting Musk himself to sound off on the overwhelming silence.
"This muted response is yet another indication that the mainstream media are not genuinely interested in the flow of actual news, but instead are interested in the political shaping of the public sphere," McCall told Fox News Digital. McCall feels the aftermath of Musk’s bombshell revelations would be an"appropriate time for big media to do some soul-searching" and publicly acknowledge the"clumsy way" it handled the laptop story from the beginning.
