New York Times: New York Post Published Hunter Biden Report Amid Newsroom Doubts
Some reporters withheld their bylines and questioned the credibility of an article that made the tabloid’s front page on Wednesday.
The New York Post’s front-page article about Hunter Biden on Wednesday was written mostly by a staff reporter who refused to put his name on it, two Post employees said.
Bruce Golding, a reporter at the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid since 2007, did not allow his byline to be used because he had concerns over the article’s credibility, the two Post employees said, speaking on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation.
Coming late in a heated presidential campaign, the article suggested that Joseph R. Biden Jr. had used his position to enrich his son Hunter when he was vice president. The Post based the story on photos and documents the paper said it had taken from the hard drive of a laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden.
Many Post staff members questioned whether the paper had done enough to verify the authenticity of the hard drive’s contents, said five people with knowledge of the tabloid’s inner workings.
Staff members also had concerns about the reliability of its sources and its timing, the people said.

Update: New York Times report exposes the shoddy journalism behind New York Post's Biden hit piece (Media Matters)
WNU Editor: For a New York Times post that has been widely referred to as a critical analysis on the New York Post article on the Hunter Biden's email story, I found it to be very short, and not at all convincing. It uses anonymous sources to say that there were many within the New York Post who were uncomfortable with publishing the story. If there is one thing that I have learned about anonymous sources from the New York Times, it is that they have been terribly unreliable during the Trump Presidency.
The above reporter for the NYT also discounts the New York Post suggestion that the elder Mr. Biden had met with a Burisma adviser, Vadym Pozharskyi, by quoting a Biden campaign spokesman who said that Mr. Biden’s official schedules showed no meeting between the former vice president and the adviser. OK. There is nothing on the OFFICIAL schedule. Notice the play on words. How about an unofficial meeting as Bryan York suggests and Politico confirms ....
“Biden’s campaign would not rule out the possibility that the former VP had some kind of informal interaction with Pozharskyi, which wouldn’t appear on Biden’s official schedule. But they said any encounter would have been cursory. Pozharskyi did not respond to a request for comment.” (On Hunter Biden, Remember The Real Story (Hot Air)).
But I leave the best for the last and one that the New York Times ignores. Since the breaking of this story the Biden family and their campaign have not denied any of the facts that the New York Post exclusive have revealed with the exception of calling it a smear job on Friday. Now why is that?
It’s now been four days since The Post dropped the first Hunter Files story, and neither Joe nor Hunter has disputed a single material fact.

The easiest thing they could do is to say, “That laptop isn’t ours, Hunter didn’t send/receive those e-mails.”
Yet they haven’t done that

The end of the NY Times. China collaborators. I say put them up against a wall and burn down the building. SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
If you want to hate Jews, please join the Democrat party. You're not welcome in the Republican party
What an odd way for the "Times" to deal with this article, guarantees it being talked about.
There's an internal war at the ny times with a bunch of woke activists taking over the news room. It's no joke. Just look at Weiss'resignation letter. They're insane at the NY times and it's image is severely damaged. If you believe the Nytimes, boy do I have a bridge to sell to you
I smell fear!
Simply put: you do not get into back and forth with stupid and malicious shit! This site should realize it has a lot at stake: you are citing Breitbart, Zero Hedge et al as places for this planted story; badmouthing respected msm that scoff at it or ignore it. When the air is finally cleared, one side or the other will look truly stupid, worthless. The NYPost stated that it is sio questionable that the author would not use his name!!
New York Post Insiders Slag ‘Very Flimsy’ Hunter Biden Stories
UP vote to what 12:16 said.
There goes sweet, sweet Fred Lapides disparaging Breitbart again. With 20 or more conservative site to go to, I had stopped going to Breitbart. I got the same news at the other sites. Lots of competition.
The other Site are:
Townhall
American Thinker
GatewayPundit
They have something in common and it isn't "Fifty First Dates."
* Anyway Frederick R. Lapides stated bitching up a storm about Breitbart.
- So I asked Dr Lapides what is wrong with Breibart?
* He replied the articles.
- So I look at the article s in Breitbart for that day.
- I ask Dr.. Frederick R,. Lapides what is wrong with these articles.
- I listed the articles.
- I asked him. Did these things not happen?
You know the response I got?
NOTHING!
The intrepid Dr. Frederick R. Lapides did not respond.
SILENCE!
- Questioned Mr, Lapides further. along the lines of the New York Times would have carried some of these articles and not all of them. That is is the mix of the articles wrong.
AGAIN a DEAFENING SILENCE!
- If the mix of the articles is wrong, maybe the problem is not with Breitbart but the New York Times. It is up to Breitbart, The New York Times to proves that the mix of articles at Breitbart or The New York Times is wrong.
FRED had MOVED.ON.ORG !
Mr. Frederick R. Lapides had quite an effect on me. I started reading Breitbart again regularly. It is 180 degrees from what Fred had intended, but Fred is quite the accomplished arguer. PRIMO!
If Fred argues against Bill O'Reilly strenuously, I might have to watch him regularly. I haven't since 2004. But if Fred goes into liberal HK mode, I might have to watch O'Reilly.
I would like to take time out to thank Fred for increasing and shaping my conservative reading habits.
EVERYONE, GIVE IT UP FOR FRED!

muy oh my! someone , aka the stalker, has his panties crawling up his legs, wet no doubt.
Fact: I am merely saying that right wing papers run with this "story," and cited two right wing places that have done this. Why do this? They hope this will be an Oct Surprise....the left of center has not carried the story. Why? It is not vetted, it is very questionable and therefore not good journalism to carry it. My post? Simply to point out that people working at the Post noted that the article was so questionable that their colleague would not use his own name for the story.
SO RAVE ON, LOW IQ.
the "story" is sure to be used in the Debate Thursday and we will see. And we wait, too, for Barr and the FBI to make arrests etc etc.
>>>TILL SUCH TIME I FOR ONE WILL STICK WITH PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTIC SOURCES. If that "story" is true, that will come out and I will be wrong and I will admit it. But I can wait. BUT YOU? NAH. BABY NEEDS INSTANT HORSEHIT TO SWALLOW

Biden’s Lead Over Trump Among American Jews at All-time High, New Poll Finds
With election day looming, an American Jewish Committee poll finds 75 percent of Jews will vote for Joe Biden, but also reveals dramatic polarization between Orthodox and non-Orthodox Jews
Jewish Virtual Library is down and down hard. Someone forgot to pay the bills. It had an excellent breakdown of Jewish voting on the past 1/2 century of presidential elections.
George Bush got 19% of the vote in 2000. Which means that Democrats got close to 81%
https://www.jcpa.org/jl/vp509.htm
So the Democrat percentage has fallen from the low 80's to the mid 70's
Maybe Fred does not understand what the words "All time high" mean?
If you do not know the meaning of the words "all time high", then maybe you are not functionally literate. In my opinion you are not.
Ah, here is a graph of Jewish voting trends.
It appears that American Jewish Committee is lying or does not understand words.
It would appear that Fred has the same problem.

Comparing the predicted Jewish voter turnout for the Democrat candidate as 75%, is this an all time high compared to the previous five (5) presidential elections?

If Democrats got 79% of the Jewish vote in 2018, then if they are getting 75% now, you could argue that Joe Biden has lost 4% of the Jewish vote.

75 > 79?
Looks like a long term downward trend of Jewish voters for Democrats, since 1992. YOu are on the wrong side of history Fred.

Call PETA!
"If that "story" is true, that will come out and I will be wrong and I will admit it"
If the Democrats win the story will be buried.
If Republicans keep the Senate, but Biden (his dog handlers) win the presidency, Wray will destroy the hard drive and FBI records will not be turned over.
How many hard drives is that BTW?
* Louis Lerner's hard drive.
* Her assistant's hard drive
* Hillary's hard drive
* Huma's hard drive
I'm having a hard time seeing a pattern here.
Help me out Fred.
Is 75 > 79 ?
You would believe it, if all you ever did was read headlines.
Rather hypocritical that a publication that was awarded one and perhaps two Pulitzer prizes for their reporting on the now thoroughly discredited Trump collusion with Russia, and is responsible for inaccuracies in their own reporting on some topics, would now criticize another.
They ain't what they used to be.
Oh, come come 11:35. If the New York Times did not give back their Pullitzer for the Durranty reporting in the 1930s, do you really expect them to give back their Pullitzers for the Russia Hoax?
[I don't do hypotheticals. I wait for full election results]

Mediaite has learned that Fox News was first approached by Rudy Giuliani to report on a tranche of files alleged to have come from Hunter Biden’s unclaimed laptop left at a Delaware computer repair shop, but that the news division chose not to run the story unless or until the sourcing and veracity of the emails could be properly vetted.
With the general election just three weeks away, Giuliani ultimately brought the story to the New York Post, which shares the same owner, Rupert Murdoch. The tabloid has been exhaustively covering the contents of the laptop — which include everything from emails regarding Hunter Biden’s work for a Ukrainian company to personal photos of the recovering addict — with each morsel being amplified in the conservative media world, including on Fox News’ top-rated opinion programs. Thus far, the Fox’s News division has only been able to verify one email from the tranche leaked.
The former New York City mayor and personal attorney to President Donald Trump has long had a working relationship with Fox News, the cable news network whose opinion shows have an overwhelmingly pro-Trump point of view.
But according to two sources familiar with the matter, the lack of authentication of Hunter Biden’s alleged laptop, combined with established concerns about Giuliani as a reliable source and his desire for unvetted publication, led the network’s news division to pass. Fox News declined to comment on this story.
Some of Fox News’ top news anchors and reporters have distanced themselves from the story. During an on-air report that largely focused on how social media platforms handled this story, Bret Baier said, “Let’s say, just not sugarcoat it. The whole thing is sketchy.”
“You couldn’t write this script in 19 days from an election, but we are digging into where this computer is and the emails and the authenticity of it,” he added.
Chris Wallace also called the story “sketchy” and said, “I can understand the concern about this story. It is completely unverified and frankly, Rudy Giuliani is not the most reliable source anymore. I hate to say that, but it’s just true.”
According to a leaked memo obtained by The Daily Beast earlier this year, the research department at Fox News had previously described Giuliani as “amplifying disinformation” surrounding the Ukraine corruption story that lay at the heart of the impeachment of President Trump earlier this year.
Imagine thinking that there’s any chance that a story that can’t meet the standards of any reporter at the New York Post (!) would pan out:
The New York Post’s front-page article about Hunter Biden on Wednesday was written mostly by a staff reporter who refused to put his name on it, two Post employees said.
Bruce Golding, a reporter at the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid since 2007, did not allow his byline to be used because he had concerns over the article’s credibility, the two Post employees said, speaking on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation.
Coming late in a heated presidential campaign, the article suggested that Joseph R. Biden Jr. had used his position to enrich his son Hunter when he was vice president. The Post based the story on photos and documents the paper said it had taken from the hard drive of a laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden.
Many Post staff members questioned whether the paper had done enough to verify the authenticity of the hard drive’s contents, said five people with knowledge of the tabloid’s inner workings. Staff members also had concerns about the reliability of its sources and its timing, the people said.
Again: this is the Post we’re talking about here:
Mr. Giuliani said he chose The Post because “either nobody else would take it, or if they took it, they would spend all the time they could to try to contradict it before they put it out.”
“We gave this to the Post because we couldn’t afford to let journalists look at it.”
Wow, who would have thought that a ridiculously implausible story (why the fuck would Hunter Biden fly from LA to Wilmington to get his laptops fixed by a fanatical hater of the Bidens?) in a Rupert Murdoch tabloid shopped by a half-senile Rudy Guiliani whose lead “author” was a Sean Hannity producer with zero previous bylines would not turn out to be on the level?
Sadly, some people don’t understand that this is a rhetorical question:
Poor Ryan is so sad. He tried the ‘Biden is obviously’ senile stuff. He tried to bring us Tara Reade but that failed bc it was obvious bullshit & she was a serial liar.

The anti-anti Trump “left” convinced themselves this would be the October surprise that would bail Trump out just like 2016 and the reaction as the Times writes stories about how this is pathetic failed ratfucking rather than amplifying it is going to be hilarious.
First: Fred is screaming again in Bold Font. We all know why. He is embarrassed. He took a news story hook, line, and sinker like the lunker he is. He didn't just hit the bait, he inhaled it and it has got him hooked deep in his bowels. Ever see that when you are fishing?
So Fred parrotted "Biden’s Lead Over Trump Among American Jews at All-time High, New Poll Finds". He did not remember, he did not investigate and one doubts he read the story he posted for more than paragraph. So he is stuck pushing the lie that 75 is greater than 79 (75>79). So he just Moved_On.org

AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
www.allsides.com/news-source/mediaite-bias
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/mediaite/
What's with Fox News, and why is it moving left? - July 2018
Murdoch started leaving day to day operations to his children and people noted that Fox started drifting Left.
a) Murdoch's children set the editorial tone and outside of the established, money making opinion makers n prime time everyone follows suit iof they want to remain employed.
b) They are just plain scared of a Biden win and of brown shirt, jack booted thug roundups of Democrat opponents after such a win.
That are alternative explanations for Fox than what the logical and erudite Fred Lapides would have you believe.
Third: FIB Director Wray
"You couldn’t write this script in 19 days from an election"
Wray sat on this for an year or more. It is not Republican's fault. They did not sit on it for a year and then launch an October surprise. It is Wray's fault. He could have come out in November of 2019, December 2019, January 2020, February 2020, etc. and say "This is more Russian propaganda."
He could have. But then he would have had to defend it for 12 to 14 months. And if Wray lied, how would the Russians feel? How would the negotiate in the future?
Fourth: Corroboration
Two of Hunter Biden's business associates are in jail. They are releasing their emails. Those emails are corroborating the Hunter Biden hard drive emails.
What are liberals going to do? Murder Hunter Biden's business associates while in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons (BoP)? They might.
I have written America s a Banana Republic in jest, sarcastically, cynically, and resignedly.
Now, I just write it without despair. Just taking stock and moving on. I have lived in South of the Border where there are Banana Republics. I have lived it. I can again.
Can you?
The Banana Republic of Venezuela, a socialist paradise, has few if any Jews. They left or are leaving. Why is that?
I remember a certain proud, proud, chest thumping socialist on these very pages defending socialist power outages. It was a drought you said. Sure there was a drought. But more importantly there was lack of capital reinvestment in hydroelectric equipment. You never thought of that, because you are illiterate in so many subjects.
But you knew better than the rest of us just like you knew that Jussie Smollet was telling the truth. Truth over Facts. Yeah you are the perfect Biden voter.
Mr. Giuliani said he chose The Post because The New York Post is in the top 10 newspapers and the other newspapers except for the WSJ are in the tank hard Leftwing.
The right also keeps claiming that Joe Biden engineered the ouster of Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin because he (Shokin) was investigating Burisma, Hunter's employer. Not true. As many journalists have pointed out, Shokin was a corrupt bastard who refused to investigate other corrupt bastards, like Zlochevsky. Everyone in the international community knew this; they all wanted Shokin gone.
We've been living with this "Burisma/Biden" smear story for more than a year now, and I still cannot understand just what it is that Hunter Biden supposedly did wrong. Even the liberal media keeps repeating the line that he should never have accepted a paycheck from the company.
Why the hell not?
If that company has in incurable case of cooties, then why doesn't anyone denounce Apter or Black? Or the former President of Poland? Don't they have cooties as well? Why hasn't anyone accused them of corruption?
More about that NY Post story. From the afore-linked WP opinion piece:
An Eastern European expert in digital forensics who has examined some of the Ukrainian documents leaked to the New York Post told me he found anomalies — such as American-style capitalization of the names of ministries — that suggest fakery.
This new evidence suggests that the fraud was perpetrated by an American. Not the Russians.
In the preceding post, we discussed a neo-Nazi who filled a pro-Trump message board with detailed forecasts of the NY Post story. This Hitler-lover knew all about the smear before it became public. He may, in fact, have been the perpetrator of the fake.
There is an enemy within.
A final word about Hunter. While researching this post, I became semi-persuaded that there is something strange -- as in spooky -- about Burisma. We can safely ignore the right's claims that Hunter was party to the Kingpin's corruption, since Hunter entered the stage after the Kingpin left. Nevertheless, there's an aspect of this tale that remains mysterious. How did these non-Ukrainians take control of the firm?
28 lines copied and pasted by Fred from a David Ignatius opinion piece. Definitely not Fred's best work Earlier today he copied and pasted 31 lines.
Two of Hunter Biden's business partners are rotting in jail. They are pissed. They have released their emails. It will corroborate the Hunter Biden hard drive.
Will liberals murder them too?
