I already had zero trust in the media and recognized the media as an enemy of the American people long before this.

This unfortunate situation only reinforces my belief.

Stolen election.
I call it Democrat disinformation because it was.
There were many Dem voters that knew but ignored it as well.

Of course they do, that's what their media has been telling them to think.

Meh. It was only elevated as an issue because of Trump's misbehavior.
That's how you think, seriously?
Corruption by democrats and their media is fine with the anti-Trump base because they'd been brainwashed, from the day he'd announced he was running, to believe everything Trump had done was wrong, even though much of that so called "misbehavior" was nothing but lies and spin told to y'all by the corrupt media.

Minimal impact really. Those on the left expect and want the media to lie, to manipulate the public and to provide cognitive reinforcement to their beliefs. They don't care about facts or science. And those on the right understand that much of what comes from the MSM is little more than lies, fabrications and suppression of the truth anyway.

After the WSJ and NY Post were able to verify the laptop's authenticity, people in the emails verified their veracity, and people pointed out how the photos outside of Hunter's home matched Hunter's house:

-Mainstream media outright lied or purposefully buried the story from the American people. See NYT and NPR.

-Some BigTech censored the story so people couldn't share it or see it.

-Key people in the intelligence community claimed it was Russian disinformation, some of these key people were the same ones that assisted the Russian collusion hoax.

-When mainstream media talked about it they rarely mentioned that it showed Joe Biden corruption, which is why you saw many Democrat posters on here with snarky replies about how they won't vote for Hunter Biden, because the media purposefully made them ignorant so they were duped into thinking this was a good point.



1 out of 6 Biden voters say that they wouldn't have voted for Joe Biden had they known the laptop was real. Well now they know, if they care too not only that the laptop was real, but that the system was corrupt and purposefully lied to them.

Faith in American institutions is already falling for years and this shows our institutions are rotten to the core.
The repubs have vowed to open an investigation after they take back control of the House.



Until then the dem will continue to ignore it.

"Most people don't care."
And how many of the "most" have you actually discussed this with to come up with your claim?

You never discussed this with me.

Most on the left know very little about because the left media DOES NOT REPORT ON IT!

Seems to me most who voted for Biden did so for one primary reason, he was not Trump.

Had Trump chosen to moderate his tweet habit, dog whistles and rhetoric, he would easily be into year 2 of his second term.

Heck, if McConnel had been willing to entertain a second stimulus before the 2020 election, as Trump wanted, he Probably would have won.

It's always funny to see the latest excuse of..."if Trump had only done .... <fill in the blank with the opinion of the moment> he probably would have won".

What Trump did or didn't do isn't the reason, it's an excuse. The reason is, the msm filled the heads of the Biden* base with lies and nonsense. And that base believed every word that was fed to them, and even continued to believe it when it was proven false or misleading. His base knew going in that there were hinky things going on with Biden* and his family, and that he was slipping into dementia, they knew the corrupt in DC, including the corrupt in the alphabet agencies, along with the msm were covering for those things, among many other things, they knew all of that but they did not care.

Corruption over country, should be the left mantra.
