It shocks, and disgusts me to see clearly intelligent people rallying around a guy who wants to publish unverified and irrelevant drivel as an October Surprise. Defenders here are quoting Tucker Carlson for God's sake -- whose defense team in court persuasively argued that no reasonable person should expect to hear the truth from his show. Comments are barely falling short of singing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" while breathlessly decrying the existential threat this tempest in a teacup poses to our nation.
We in the US are not voting for Hunter Biden and no business meetings in the Ukraine or China took place. Hence, attempting to legitimize this nothingburger is disinformation when it is perpetrated in the closing weeks of a US Presidential election. Fear, uncertainty, doubt all wrapped up in a puff of smoke. Something something before the truth has a chance to lace up its boots, and all that.
The cynical streak in me has to wonder if this isn't simply some kind of clickbait market-share grab by The Intercept.
It’s even more shocking that HN allows such blatant misinformation and conservative propaganda.
I would never have thought that this website was at the level of a tabloid like the New York Post. At least we know for sure that all allegations against Biden are just total bullshit given that even Fox News decided to not publish them and they were published only by a cesspool tabloid that writes articles on how miley Cyrus was chased by aliens.
