Press ordered not to cover Biden laptop scandal.

NPR says it won’t cover Hunter Biden news because it's a 'waste' of time  "Yes, allegations that the 2020 Democratic nominee may have used the office of the vice president to line his family’s pockets is apparently a nonstory, unlike, say, “binders full of women” or “Seamus the dog.' ” . . .

NPR and USA Today Refuse to Cover Hunter Biden Corruption Scandal  "In addition, op-ed columnist for USA Today Glenn Harlan Reynolds also was refused to run his regular column on Hunter Biden this week.

'Reynolds published it anyway, via another platform:

“SO USA TODAY DIDN’T WANT TO RUN MY HUNTER BIDEN COLUMN THIS WEEK. My regular editor is on vacation, and I guess everyone else was afraid to touch it. So I’m sending them another column next week, and just publishing this one here. Enjoy! This is as filed, with no editing from USAT

Piers Morgan says he was cancelled abruptly by CNN after he nailed networks for burying Biden news  "Piers Morgan claims that he was uninvited by CNN because he accused the Biden-boosting U.S. corporate media during a Fox & Friends interview of hyper-partisanship over efforts to downplay or outright censor the scandal involving Hunter Biden’s overseas business deals that allegedly may implicate Joe Biden." . . . 

Why Big Media Will Never Report On Hunter Biden’s Emails   "The corporate media has refused to cover the substance of the New York Post’s bombshell reporting on Hunter Biden’s recovered laptop and emails, not because there’s nothing to the story or because the emails are fake, but because the story itself is, on its face, harmful to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

"That’s not to say news outlets haven’t been writing about the Post’s reporting. They’ve simply decided to cover the meta-narrative—the story about the story—while studiously ignoring what Hunter Biden’s emails reveal about his family’s overseas business dealings and influence-peddling.

"Here’s how it works. Instead of aggressive follow-up reporting on the content of Hunter Biden’s emails, which is what you’d expect from news organizations, we’ve gotten a wave of process stories about the “anatomy” of the Post’s “dubious” reporting, censorship stories about Twitter and Facebook, and wild conspiracy theory stories about a rumored Russian disinformation plot." . . .
