This article on Hunter Biden's laptop got me to upgrade to a paid sub, although I've been an admirer of Lee Fang's investigative journalism for a decade. I used to report on his work when I had my Third Paradigm radio show on the pirate station, Free Radio Santa Cruz.
I'm glad that this detailed article, which exposes the media collaboration along with government corruption, calls out James Risen. I was suspicious when he went to the Intercept and then listened to him have a 'friendly debate' with Glenn Greenwald. Glenn was gracious and respectful but brought his usual logic and facts. I forget the topic but it was clear that James was a plant infiltrating independent media. It would take some months until the Intercept revealed it was a sham too. While there are still some good reporters there, the real ones are jumping the false flag ship.
The levels and duration of corruption in media outlets like Washington Post around Joe and Hunter Biden's misdeeds remains stunning. The White House's arrogance and assumptive attitudes toward "guidance" of media coverage is similarly outrageous. Thank you Lee for shining a bright, independent light on these happenings in your Substack!
The Biden family corruption coverup is far far worse than Watergate. I’m old enough to remember how the media, especially the Washington Post, was all over the Watergate investigation and provided many of the critical insights into the Nixon White House machinations to cover things up. Woodward and Bernstein’s reporting relied on information supplied by senior FBIofficial, Mark Felt, aka “Deep Throat.” At DOJ, the Attorney General, Elliot Richardson, resigned in protest rather than cooperate with the attempted coverup.
In contrast, todays’ Biden scandals, are covered up by the media using the constant refrain of “no evidence” if they even bother to report on it. The DOJ has actively stalled and obstructed the investigation, trying to slip a sweetheart plea deal past the judge that would have nearly killed any further charges against Hunter and Joe Biden. The FBI sat on the Hunter Biden laptop for nearly a year and when they knew (I wonder how?) the New York Post was about reveal the contents of the laptop, the FBI went to Twitter and Facebook to try to pre-bunk the story as “possible Russian disinformation.” Nothing to see here, just move along folks.
Meanwhile the DOJ and the media are pulling out all the stops to prosecute Donald Trump and prevent him from running against Joe Biden, while the Democratic Party is also ensuring there is no primary challenge to Biden and voters will have no say in his renomination. Your democracy at work. Enjoy it!
This is the investigative reporting we need. Unfortunately, only a small slice of the U.S. public will ever read this or any investigative reporting on Hunter Biden, lab leak, vaccine narrative, etc. That is why the WH can issue their memo to the press with marching orders - the WH knows the media will follow the orders. They know the public is gullible and incurious.
And all of this coverup was happening at a time when Joe Biden was Vice President, Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, Victoria Nuland (then Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs) was passing out cookies to the revolutionaries during the Maidan Revolution that overthrew a democratically elected president and installed a U.S./NATO friendly president), the prosecutor investigating Burisma was fired under pressure from the U.S, and the U.S. was encouraging NATO expansion into Ukraine.
So why is the U.S. so eager to absorb Ukraine into the Western sphere? Could it possibly have anything to do with the abundance of natural gas and oil in Ukraine (particularly in the Donetsk Basin and Crimean regions? I wonder.
How many dictators who were friendly to U.S. exploitation of natural resources has the U.S. supported? How many democratically elected presidents who were hostile to U.S. exploitation of natural resources were overthrown with U.S. support?
Hunter Biden's stench has been steadily creating a miasma of corruption around his father. It has all the hallmarks of an issue that can give cover to Trump and send Biden to defeat in 2024.
Heavy reporting. It's complex in that it involves multiple private and government factions across two nations. But it's simple in that it all boils down to greed.
Not sure why you think it’s remarkable how uncritical most media organizations coverage of the Biden’s coverup was/is. It’s who they are. It’s what the do. They are part and parcel of elitist political/corporate structure. They exist to protect and defend it.
Clear, concise, and devastating for the framing the MSM has been using for so long. It is important to hove pointed out the discernible, yet so vigorously discredited, trail of bread crumbs still lying on the path to utter corruption. A pity so few will get to read it. Thanks, Lee.
Emails Show Decade of Hunter Biden Spinning Journalists on Foreign Business Deals
Great collaboration! The depth of corruption and continued coverup seems to have no end. Thank you for staying on it!

Someday I hope I can live in a country where I don't have to choose between two elderly, corrupt idiots for President.

Do I see a pattern here?.
