CNN’s puppet, Brian Stelter played stupid as host S.E. Cupp blasted the media for covering up the Hunter Biden laptop story. He basically dodged taking responsibility from his previous reporting where he called the laptop disinformation from Trump’s lawyer Rudy Guilliani.
Now that the laptop has been authenticated, the nets don’t want to walk back all of their garbage and Stelter is one of the worst ones.
After debating the controversy surrounding Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife, Ginni Thomas’ text messages about the 2020 presidential election, Stelter turned to Cupp: “do you see an imbalance of outrage this week on the story?” Cup argued that the outrage surrounding the text messages is warranted, but noted that people “in conservative circles have known about Virginia Lamp Thomas’ political leanings for decades.”
Cupp then dropped this rhetorical bomb on Stelter:
“You don’t have to look far to find a very similar story that was really ignored by the media and, in fact, called false over and over and over again and that’s the Hunter Biden laptop story. Hunter Biden is a relative of a very famous person the way Ginni Thomas is a relative of a very powerful famous person and, you know, my Twitter feed is clogged with blue check reporters who are instantly believing that there is some tie between Ginni and Clarence. You know, the rush to dismiss Hunter as not a relevant story by lots of reporters I think is hard to ignore.”
A shocked Stelter quickly turned the questions over to New Yorker staff writer Jane Mayer:
“The Hunter Biden story is Hunter Biden is being investigated by the Justice Department and by the IRS as I understand it at this point and so it seems that there’s no shortage of legal interest in Hunter Biden and yet we have not seen the Ginni Thomas has been called by the January 6 committee because there’s been such sensitivity about not calling a Supreme Court justice’s wife.”
Cupp jumped back in: “yes, but the legal interest in the Hunter Biden story would make the journalism interest, I think, even more, warranted.” Stelter replied “to raise it”, Cupp agreed, saying “yeah.” Stelter then quickly moved on to the confirmation hearings for Judge Katanji Brown Jackson.
If you watch, you can see Stelter trying to disappear as he avoids being fingered as one of the very jerks…
