Because they were offered the story first, and passed on it for the same reason everyone else did at the time: the origins of the allegations were suspect, and no one had access to either verify or falsify the them. What about the folks at the NYP who objected to their own news outlet publishing the story for the same reasons?Are you going to start defending the weapons of mass destruction lie next? You were wrong and you believed disinformation. Accept it and learn from it. Was the Russian hookers peeing on hotel beds story banned because it couldn't be 100 percent confirmed? Is every story that has not been banned 100 percent confirmed? Twitters official explanation was that they banned the Hunter story from being shared because it contained private information. This was clearly election interference, because they didn't hold the same standard for the other side. Did they censor news stories about how much taxes Trump payed, because that was private info the man wouldn't have wanted out there? Nope. Privacy only suddenly became a good reason to censor something when you were coming up on election day.
Why are you answering questions with questions? Why are you lecturing us about not swallowing what the MSM feeds us hook, line, and sinker, when you swallowed all of the allegations against Hunter Biden in the NYP article without an ounce of skepticism simply because of the source it came from? No one here is claiming perfect, objective reporting from the media on either side, but you definitely seem to apply your standards for credulity differently depending on which “side” it comes from. That’s a “you” problem, not a “me” problem. 🤷♀️
