An axis of the CIA, [[Big Tech]] and the [[DNC]]-allied [[mainstream media]] spread an absolute lie in the weeks before the 2020 presidential election.  [[Glenn Greenwald]] reported that on October 14, 2020, and then October 15, 2020, ''[[The New York Post]]'', the nation's oldest newspaper, published two news reports on [[Joe Biden]]'s activities in Ukraine and China that raised serious questions about his integrity and ethics: specifically whether he and his family were trading on his name and influence to generate profit for themselves. ''The Post'' said that the documents were obtained from a laptop left by Joe Biden's son, [[Hunter Biden]], at a repair shop.

From the start, the evidence of authenticity was overwhelming. ''The Post'' published genuine photos of Hunter that were taken from the laptop. Investigations from media outlets found people who had received the [[email]]s in real-time and they compared the emails in their possession to the ones in the ''Post's'' archive, and they matched word-for-word.<ref name="foxnews.com">https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hunter-biden-business-partner-email-genuine-joe-biden-advice</ref>  One of Hunter Biden's own business associates involved in many of these deals, Tony Bobulinski,<ref name="foxnews.com"/> confirmed publicly and in interviews that the key emails were genuine and that they referenced Joe Biden's profit participation in one deal being pursued in [[China]]. A forensics analyst issued a report concluding the archive had all the earmarks of authenticity.<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2020/10/29/cybersecurity-expert-authenticates-hunter-biden-burisma-email/</ref>  Not even the Bidens denied that the emails were real.  It was clear early on that all the key metrics demonstrated that these documents were real.

But the complete lack of evidence for these claims did not stop the corporate media or Big Tech from repeating this lie over and over, and, far worse, using this lie to [[censor]] the reporting from the [[internet]]. One of the first to spread this lie was, Natasha Bertrand, then of ''[[Politico]]'' and as of 2021 [[CNN]].<ref>https://greenwald.substack.com/p/cnns-new-reporter-natasha-bertrand</ref>  “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say,” blared her headline in ''Politico'' on October 19, 2020, just five days after the ''Post'' began its reporting.<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/19/hunter-biden-story-russian-disinfo-430276</ref>  From there, virtually every media outlet<ref>https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1440402740409110528</ref> — CNN, [[NBC News]], [[PBS]], ''[[Huffington Post]]'', ''The Intercept'',<ref>https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1440315750082748419</ref> and too many others to count<ref>https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1440314701896814597</ref> — began completely ignoring the substance of the reporting and instead spread the lie over and over that these documents were the by-product of Russian disinformation.<ref>https://greenwald.substack.com/p/new-proof-emerges-of-the-biden-family</ref>
