Biden And Ukraine Corruption - The Story The Media Wants To Go Away

The media is not just in the tank for Biden. they're battening down the hatches and blocking all vision ports and redlining the throttle in an effort to haul him to the finish line.

Looks like they're doing all they can to keep this story from getting any coverage - including in the case of social media sites Twitter and Facebook outright blocking the story from being published on their platforms:

New York Post: Twitter, Facebook censor Post over Hunter Biden exposé

So much for any claim that Facebook and Twitter are merely platforms rather than publishers under the CDA. 

Still no mention of it at all at the Detnews nor the Freep.  

The New York Times has jumped in with both feet to shield Biden and run cover for him in what should be more considered an op-ed rather than straight news: Biden Did Not Meet With Ukrainian Energy Executive, Campaign Says.

Actually, the campaign stated  the meeting wasn't on his official calendar - not a denial that they met at all, and the campaign have now started to indicate a meeting may have occurred "in passing".

But Twitter and Facebook's actions in blockign the story and even banning the NY Post memebrs who linked to the story may be resulting in a Streisand Effect about the material, but only if you know how to look for the story in the first place.

We're watching one of the greatest displays of media bias in progress here.

Hey Aaron;

I am looking for a reckoning when Trump wins(Hey I'm an optimist) after the election against the Tech giants by the DOJ for being an monopoly or something along that line. There has to be one, because in 2024 it will happen again when the GOP has to find a candidate with Trump's ability to work a crowd to fire up the base because the democrats will be coming out in 2024 with a bunch of fresh POC's in 2024 to win the white house after it got interrupted in 2016 by the "big bad Orange one" after the "Lightbringer" did such a good job of prepping the country for socialism.

Mr Garabaldi: I'm hopeful for a Trump win, but concerned that the media, tech giants and Democrats have decided to go all-in on this one.

Expect lots of messing around and manipulation on their part this election. They refused to accept the results of the 2016 election and I don't expect them to allow 2020 to come out other than how they want it to turn out.
