This latest conspiracy theory is one of the dumbest yet. If such emails exist, they obviously weren't created to evade detection, as one would - with burner phones, secret servers etc. - if acting nefariously. Because then they *wouldn't be included in the National Archives!*
I mean, the right-wing rant is "this MUST be where Biden hid his corrupt dealings and ran the global crime operation through Hunter!"
And then he included it all in his official papers?
@RationalLeft: Ah, yes. That old beacon of journalistic excellence, The Examiner. 😄
@thedisasterautist The media was actually worse then... it was basically all Fox-esque distortion, competing from different agendas. Reliable coverage was even more scarce than now.
@RationalLeft: I know. I was commenting on the style of the current "journalism" in question.
@thedisasterautist Murdoch would make Hearst proud.
@RationalLeft: I kinda have the notion that Hearst wouldn't pay much mind to Murdoch other than as an also-ran. I do figure, though, that Murdoch fancies himself a Hearst type.
@thedisasterautist Probably true - Hearst rated no one but himself.
Still, they have similar mentalities.
@thedisasterautist Which appears to have gotten it from that bastion of truth, the New York Post.
(Even the NYP story is desperately couched in "possible" "could be" "claimed" etc., despite a definitive-sounding headline.)
