Well, well, well—looks like the so-called “free press” wasn’t so free after all when it came to Joe and Hunter Biden’s dirty laundry. Former Politico reporters Marc Caputo and Tara Palmeri have finally come clean, admitting what conservatives suspected all along—media suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal was deliberate, calculated, and straight-up dishonest.
According to Caputo, when he tried to report on the now-infamous laptop in October 2020, Politico higher-ups issued a clear directive: Don’t write about it. Don’t talk about it. Don’t even tweet about it. Instead, they ran with the now-debunked “Russian disinformation” narrative. Shocker, right?
Palmeri backed him up, saying that despite spending months digging into Hunter’s shady dealings—work that eventually contributed to his gun-related prosecution—Politico was in no hurry to get the truth out. “It had to be 100% nailed down,” she said, pointing out the glaring double standard compared to how quickly the media runs with any flimsy accusation against President Trump.
Let’s not forget the most outrageous part of this whole debacle—when the New York Post broke the laptop story, the media didn’t just ignore it, they actively buried it. Over 50 so-called “intelligence experts” (aka deep state cronies) signed a letter claiming it had “all the classic earmarks of Russian disinformation,” even though they had zero evidence to back it up. Meanwhile, social media giants like Twitter and Facebook worked overtime to suppress the story, blocking users from sharing it and labeling it “misinformation.” Funny how none of these platforms seemed to mind when the fake Steele dossier was making the rounds.
Caputo even revealed that Politico killed a story he wrote in 2019 about a tax lien slapped on Hunter Biden during his time at Burisma—a story handed to him by another Democratic presidential campaign. Think about that for a second: even Biden’s own rivals knew the Burisma dealings stunk to high heaven, but the media refused to touch it.
Of course, we now know the laptop was real. The emails were real. The corruption? Also real. But by the time the truth came out, it was too late—Joe Biden was sitting comfortably in the White House, thanks in part to a media establishment that did everything in its power to protect him.
So, the next time the left lectures about “threats to democracy,” remind them of this: the biggest threat came from the so-called journalists who decided their job was to cover for Joe Biden, not report the truth.
