As this editor always says, fake news isn't always lies that are published — also keep a lookout for stories that the mainstream media just doesn't touch (and the ones it does, like Justice Samuel Alito's flag). There's no greater example in recently history than the censoring of the New York Post's story on Hunter Biden's laptop. Social media platforms refused to link to it. Twitter locked the New York Post out of its account for six weeks because it wouldn't take down the story. The only thing the media would report is that former intelligence officials believed it was Russian disinformation.

MSNBC's Jen Psaki, who once tweeted "No one supports abortion up until birth," is now a journalist, and she takes issue with the idea that campaigns pay off news outlets to overlook certain stories.
Campaigns do NOT work with media to pay off sources to suppress stories. It is not normal. It does not happen. Am certain democrats and republican from many campaigns will confirm that.

The Biden campaign did that, in collaboration with the CIA, to my stories at the New York Post based on Hunter Biden’s laptop. https://t.co/7Ub28haJwl

The Gaza Ministry of Health has reported that @jrpsaki died 56 times from this tweet.

When did Psaki find out the laptop was real?

She’s an unmitigated liar.

This is the silliest thing you've ever claimed.

The fact you are saying this confirms they do.

Democrats don't need to pay off the legacy media. They'll gladly suppress negative stories about them free of charge.

Why did Democrat Rahm Emanuel do it then?

You’re literally a White House propagandist who went straight to work for the media after resigning.
You’re the actual last person on the planet to be taken seriously on this issue.

But who actually came up with the idea of getting former intelligence officials to sign that letter calling the laptop disinformation? Why, it was the Biden campaign's Antony Blinken, who's now serving as secretary of state.
This is parody, right? It has to be parody.

If anybody else had said this, I wouldn't have believed them. But since it's you, I really REALLY don't believe it.

They don't have to. It's understood what is expected to be considered for future employment

Psaki might have a point … Democrat campaigns probably don't have to pay to have stories suppressed. The media buries those for free.
