> Has any investigation happened?

Yes, the FBI has looked into it and have yet to find any credible source. I also assume every reporter from every publication is investigating it too.

> Are the media reporting on how they chased down leads to confirm or deny the report?

The media never reports on the process of chasing leads and inconclusive stories (which is exactly what NYP did). They only post once they have the actual facts.

> by the media sources who suppressed the story

First off, it's the social media site that suppressed the story, not other publications. Secondly, not reporting something until you have it confirmed is not "suppressing" a story, it's actual journalism.

> as is the publicly stated methodology taken by the Washington Post.

Source?



The FBI admitted today Hunter Biden and his associates are under an active criminal investigation. The article you are replying to is literally about the media suppressing the story

They don’t seem to apply this rigor to stories that are engineered to make the orange one look bad... the NYT “anonymous” piece, the hit job re: Trumps taxes, dishonest articles about border separations (who built the cages?), etc., etc. it’s become clear that the media is absolutely biased to the core. This coming from a 2x Obama voter.
