Media buried the Stormy Daniels story to help Trump win in 2016.
Media got busted for $150,000 payoff to Stormy as illegal campaign donation to Trump, because they used that $150,000 to help Trump but never declared it.

It was $130,000, and are you really referring to The National Inquirer as "The Media"?
Did you have a straight face when you typed that?
Where do you get your financial news from? Teen Beat?

American Media Inc silenced Stormy Daniels from speaking to anyone, in order to help Trump win. A 2nd woman was paid $150,000 in hush money as well. They stopped the women from speaking with the hush money, in order to help Trump win the election.
FBI documents point to Trump role in hush money for porn star Daniels
FBI documents unsealed on Thursday suggest that Donald Trump was actively involved in engineering a hush-money payment shortly before the 2016 election to a porn actress who said she had a sexual encounter with him...
Cohen, 52, pleaded guilty in August 2018 to violating campaign finance law by directing the payment to Daniels as well as another payment of $150,000 to Playboy model Karen McDougal shortly before the election.
...multiple interactions with Trump and Trump’s campaign staff as Cohen was negotiating the payoff with Daniels’ lawyer and executives of American Media Inc, publisher of the National Enquirer tabloid newspaper.

Fine, so there was a second payment of 150k to someone else, but the point still stands. A company that owns a couple of tabloids and soap opera magazines is not "The Media".
So much to unpack in this quote from CBS news. Read that quote really carefully. It was designed to make the reader disbelieve. And it gets even worse as the article goes on.
And keep in mind, the FBI already had the contents of the laptop for a year. They verified the authenticity and knew that it wasn't Russian disinformation, to the point where they were using it to build a possible case against Hunter Biden.
Yes, as I said - lots of coverage not just "NY Post is reporting" - and the difference is how it was covered. Just like I posted earlier.
Also, it's the FBI's long-standing position that they don't comment on on-going investigations, right? So, what the FBI knew is irrelevant to the question of media coverage.

Yes, they are/were the media and were a fairly large publicly traded company traded on the NYSE. 36 current or former publications plus TV media.
The helped Trump win in 2016 buy paying 2 women for true stories about Trump and they paid the women hush money to stop the women from telling their stories.

Glad we're on the same page now.
So, you don't find it the least bit curious or coincidental that the FBI went around "warning" of an upcoming Russian disinformation dump immediately prior to the release of the laptop story?
And even more curious that right after that warning, every news outlet was dismissing the laptop as Russian disinformation?

You are equating the mass suppression, or misdirection, of a story by CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, The NY Times, Washington Post, Twitter, Facebook, etc, etc with the suppression of a story by one company that writes articles pondering whether or not Brad Pitt is an alien from outer space.

Not even a little bit curious?
Really?
Do you imagine the Hunter laptop story was the only thing flagged for disinformation in that time period? I don't.
That the FBI knew what they knew is probably why they didn't reference the laptop story specifically, right?
If Trump's FBI knew of such a thing, would you expect them to just do nothing? Maybe you would.
Was it ever Trump's FBI?
Nor should it be.
But OK, I'll play. Where was the disinformation dump that they were talking about?
