Two former reporters for Politico have shed light on the heroic failures of their former employer when it came to covering the Hunter Biden laptop fiasco. Tara Palmeri and Marc Caputo aren’t just reminiscing; they are calling out the “cowardly” editors who essentially went dark on any reporting that might make the First Family look bad. Instead, they chose to lean on the narrative that it was all just a Russian disinformation plot, which has proven to be a colossal, albeit convenient, fabrication. It seems this level of denial is par for the course when you’re swimming in a pool of government-driven propaganda that nurtures a decidedly liberal moral superiority complex.
Palmeri and Caputo pulled back the curtain on Politico’s not-so-glorious pursuit of the truth regarding the Bidens, which has long been overshadowed by their relentless desire to protect the First Family at all costs. Palmeri recounted her probing report about the Secret Service involvement with Hunter Biden and his mysteriously disappearing firearm—one that he couldn’t legally possess in the first place. Unsurprisingly, after that particular scoop, the Biden administration retaliated by limiting Palmeri’s access to information, further solidifying the media’s reluctance to expose any shortcomings of the current leadership.

Interestingly enough, Caputo highlighted the absurdity of Politico’s infamous headline claiming that a group of 51 so-called intelligence experts deemed the laptop “disinformation.” The irony runs deep as more evidence stacks up against the narrative that the media chose to pedal. Caputo’s frustration stemmed from being ordered not to touch the laptop story, which implies that anything remotely unfavorable about the Biden clan was strictly off-limits. It’s almost as if the editors were guarding a sacred text rather than reporting the news.
The former Politico reporters discussed how an important story regarding Hunter Biden’s ties to Burisma, the infamous Ukrainian company, was unceremoniously “killed.” Caputo was handed some juicy oppo research involving a tax lien on Hunter while he was working for Burisma. His classic headline about the implications of Biden’s son being in hot water was promptly scrapped, indicating that editorial decisions were less about journalistic integrity and more about keeping the political status quo—the same status quo that has not only allowed President Biden to coast but also kept pressing questions about his mental acuity under wraps.
As the narrative unfolds, mainstream media has wised up, slowly exploiting the cracks that Doom-tion Joe has been showcasing since day one of his presidency. Observers are now connecting the dots, realizing that the media’s blindsided support was merely an elaborate facade hiding Biden’s cognitive decline. Whether the task of running the country outputs from the man himself or Jill Biden’s iron grip on the West Wing is still a topic of debate. But what’s glaringly clear is that the media acted like a bunch of nervous parents trying to keep a family secret—fearing the ramifications of the truth more than they were committed to their duties as honest purveyors of information.
In the end, the revelation isn’t so much a moment of reflection for the media, but more a desperate scramble to regain credibility once the curtain of competence was pulled back on President Biden’s performance. The once-serving narrative has taken a nosedive, leaving only comedy and chaos in its wake, reminding onlookers how laughable it is to witness such disarray in the news industry that previously operated as an arm of the establishment.
