Liberal Reporter: What Twitter and Facebook Did to Muzzle Biden Story Is ‘Creepy and Authoritarian’

Townhall: The New York Post obtained emails showing that Joe Biden lied about not knowing what his son, Hunter, was doing regarding his Ukrainian activities. Hunter Biden was allegedly selling access while sitting on the board of a Ukrainian energy company, despite having zero experience in this field, while earning tens of thousands of dollars a month. This corrupt arrangement occurred back in 2014 when Joe was leading anti-corruption efforts in the country. Multiple people raised the alarm over this gig. And it’s a sore subject, as evidenced by Joe Biden’s aggressive reaction toward it (via NY Post):

Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by The Post.

The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month.

“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads.

An earlier email from May 2014 also shows Pozharskyi, reportedly Burisma’s No. 3 exec, asking Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf.

The blockbuster correspondence — which flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claim that he’s “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings” — is contained in a massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer.

Julio wrote that Twitter and Facebook are censoring the story, all but running interference on behalf of the Biden campaign. Facebook’s Policy Communications Manager Andy Stone, a former Democratic operative, said “While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook’s third-party fact checking partners. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform.” read more

  1. Hunter Biden is a crackhead.
    Crackheads are always the best liars.
    They’ll say and do anything to get their drug of choice.
    Odds are Joe Biden knew Hunter was a crackhead for a long time and that made him the perfect pansy that pops could use and control for his own benefit…

    I bet the laptop was damaged while Hunter was so high on crack he couldn’t even remember where he dropped it off at to be repaired…

    This is the shit crackheads do

  2. Is it illegal? FB, Twitter are privately owned. Publicly traded but certainly not a branch of the Gov. If conservatives would get off those platforms they’d go broke.
    The big benefactor of all this censorship, GAB, who reportedly picked up 4 million users in the last couple days. I think I’ll start visiting again.

  3. FB & Twitter are privately owned but so are most media outlets. Can they just ‘publish’ or censor anything they want? “Fire” in a crowded theater and all.
    Isn’t the internet referreed as are the airwaves and other media?
    Will this shot across the bow go unanswered? At the least they should be thoroughly condemned as unamerican, or really, anti-american.

    They are not being prosecuted either. So I guess we’re back to square one. Why not just everyone get off those damn platforms. Leave them to the teenage girls and the Hollywood pretty people.

  5. Great someone on the left admits outright censorship is creepy yet they too engage in it covertly by not investigating this Biden mess which we’ve all known about, it has been substantiated by Pops himself publicly bragging about getting a prosecutor fired. Gee, had any of these so called lefties done any actual investigative reporting this story would have broken years ago and not three weeks from the election.

  6. In the early 1950’s the price for a roll of KODAK color film included processing. Since KODAK sold over 90% of color film at the time that, by default, gave them 90% of the color processing market. The government put a stop to that. I don’t know if they still do it, but when I was a kid boxes of KODAK color film had the note “Price of film does not include processing.”

    These tech companies have an oligopoly controlling public discourse. Companies have been broken up for less than that. Add to that the protections they have for calling themselves “platforms” as opposed to “publishers” while they act like publishers and you can see that they are a serious problem.

    I doubt that the NYT story on Trump’s tax returns or the WaPo story clearing Biden of any wrong doing were blocked pending such “fact checking.”

  7. WTF, Rudy!! He says he will release even more damaging evidence 10 days before the election. What the hell is magical about 10 days. That is after the next scheduled debate (if there is one) and by then 10’s of millions of people will have already voted. Rudy is fucking up on this!
