    <THREAD TITLE EDITED TO MATCH LINK>

    The MSM is finally reporting on the Hunter Biden Conspiracy.

    ‘How a fake persona laid groundwork for a Hunter Biden conspiracy deluge’

    Head on over to NBC News for details.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/29/how...ork-for-a-hunter-biden-conspiracy-deluge.html

    How are networks, papers, blogs, and a campaign going to explain this revelation much more their unnamed sources attributed to DOJ and Senate?

    The republican and right wing method is to complicate the story to the max with circular references, mix facts with opinions, quote each other's opinions calling them "discoveries" and "proven", etc. and end up with such a convoluted tangle of complexity that it is near impossible to untangle it and expose the lie. Then the right declares their story is fact and unchallenged. And suckers believe them.

    broken laptop brought to blind repairguy.

    laptop never picked up.

    Congressmen not interested in the info on laptop.

    only crackhead Rudy Guiliani and felon Steve Bannon was interested.

    what a joke.

    Just another bunch of crap in a long line of Republicans telling us how broken/messed up/fake something is and "proving it" by breaking/messing up/faking that thing. "The government is broken! See, we broke it!" "Fake news! See, we faked some news!"

    Trump is just creating tons of fake news and hoping something sticks at this point, I think even Trump knows he can't win at this point

    Exactly.

    Let me see if I got this straight:

    Some "guy on the internet" something something "anonymous source" something "confirmed by some guy from QAnon" something "Hunter Bad" something [sic] something, something.

    He's desperate because he knows if he loses he's going to prison along with his kids, probably.

    I don't think he necessarily wants anything to stick. He just wants to destroy the credibility of the media, in general. If something sticks that's just a bonus.

    One month before a purported leak of files from Hunter Biden’s laptop, a fake “intelligence” document about him went viral on the right-wing internet, asserting an elaborate conspiracy theory involving former Vice President Joe Biden’s son and business in China.

    The document, a 64-page composition that was later disseminated by close associates of President Donald Trump, appears to be the work of a fake “intelligence firm” called Typhoon Investigations, according to researchers and public documents.

    The author of the document, a self-identified Swiss security analyst named Martin Aspen, is a fabricated identity, according to analysis by disinformation researchers, who also concluded that Aspen’s profile picture was created with an artificial intelligence face generator. The intelligence firm that Aspen lists as his previous employer said that no one by that name had ever worked for the company and that no one by that name lives in Switzerland, according to public records and social media searches.

    Balding claimed that the document was commissioned by Apple Daily, a Hong Kong-based tabloid that is frequently critical of the Chinese government. Apple Daily did not respond to a request for comment.

    In addition to posting the document to his blog, Balding also promoted it in far-right media, appearing on Bannon’s podcast and on “China Unscripted,” a podcast produced by The Epoch Times, a pro-Trump media outlet opposed to the Chinese government.

    What is clear by these competing narratives is that we need to reestablish what can be called news and what should be called breaking stories or sensationalism. We also need to address media outlets that identify themselves as news outlets and we need to establish social media guidelines that will actually inform users where sources originate from.

    If we don't fix this fact/fiction problem then things are only going to escalate in the coming years. We need to regain the prominence and reputation of our news outlets because facts matter.

    How a fake report written by a foreign operative and paid by Democrats, led the way to the biggest BS conspiracy theory about a sitting president, in US history. Sound familiar?

    The thing is, the entire MSM bought into it without a shred of proof. And they spread that garbage for 3+ years!!!

    Hunter Biden could gun somebody down on fifth avenue in broad daylight and our house lefties wouldn't bat an eyes, because you know "orange man bad".

    That's the truth.

    The truth is we don't have to worry about whether the story is true or false. Hunter Biden isn't running for any political office so no one has to vote for him or accept him.

    I am not sure what document this article is about.

    The emails and laptop are real, the eye witness is real...and the FBI probe is going on as we speak.

    the laptop is bullshit. the eye witness has ZERO corroborating witnesses, its mere hearsay.

    the FBI probe may have closed a year ago.

    I wonder if the “discovery” of the laptop is merely a cover for a hack or what the intelligence community warned us about. Hacked content interspersed with fake content and dispersed to the public.

    Also, “deepfake” they’ve been carrying on about. The use of artificial intelligence to generate false visual and audio to depict events and disseminate them the public.

    Whatever is going on here definitely had a decent sum of cash behind it.

    The emails in Hunter's laptop corroborate his statements. No it's not hearsay....statements against party oppenents come in.

    nope it's on going, hence why they are still interviewing the Biden's business partner...if it was closesd there wouln't be an interview.

    investigation is not ongoing.

    Booboolinki offered to talk to the FBI so they said "ok".

    FBI will see if he has any info worthy of reopening the case.

    ;No the DOJ, DNI confirmed it wasn't disinformation....and more over a Senate Committee verifited the contents

    “The FBI is the primary investigative agency responsible for the integrity and security of the 2020 election, and as such, we are focused on an array of threats, including the threat of malign foreign influence operations,” Tyson wrote. “Regarding the subject of your letter, we have nothing to add at this time to the October 19th public statement by the Director of National Intelligence about the available actionable intelligence.”
    “If actionable intelligence is developed, the FBI in consultation with the Intelligence Community will evaluate the need to provide defensive briefings to you and the Committee pursuant to the established notification framework
