A tweet from the National Public Radio (NPR) Editor on Thursday — on the day of the second presidential debate — explained why the taxpayer-funded news outlet has been ignoring the growing scandal surrounding former Vice President Joe Biden, his son Hunter Biden, and the family’s foreign business dealings.
“Why haven’t you seen any stories from NPR about the NY Post’s Hunter Biden story,” the tweet said. “We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste listeners’ and readers’ time on that stories that are just pure distractions.”
The tweet included the link to a newsletter written by Kelly McBride, who is with the Poynter Institute, the so-called gatekeeper for good journalism.
McBrides’ justification for ignoring the real and growing scandal involving Joe Biden’s family, and now his vice-presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), is:
There are many, many red flags in that New York Post Investigation. NPR Media Correspondent David Folkenflik detailed most of them … Intelligence officials warn that Russia has been working overtime to keep the story of Hunter Biden in the spotlight. Even if Russia can’t be positively connected to this information, the story of how Trump associates Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani came into a copy of this computer hard drive has not been verified and seems suspect. And if that story could be verified, the NY Post did no forensic work to convince consumers that the emails and photos that are the basis for their report have not been altered.
In fact, Breitbart News reported on what has unfolded and been verified since the New York Post report on the Bidens broke, even as Twitter and left-wing media such as NPR continue to censor the news. Breitbart News reported:
A whistleblower CEO and Biden insider, Tony Bobulinski, released a public statement on Wednesday evening backing up the reporting of the New York Post from last week and claiming that he personally witnessed Democrat presidential nominee former Vice President Joe Biden discussing business deals with his son, Hunter Biden.
Sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News that Bobulinski is the person whose allegations and inside information are the centerpiece of a forthcoming investigation by the Wall Street Journal. That Wall Street Journal story has not published yet, several days after the newspaper staff indicated to some the piece would come out—it is unclear why the Journal has not yet published—but President Donald Trump hinted on a conference call earlier this week that such a story was coming from the newspaper.
Bobulinski’s statement also seemingly authenticates at least one of the bombshell emails obtained by the New York Post, purportedly from Hunter Biden’s laptop retrieved from a computer repair store in Delaware. The statement also contradicts claims from some Democrats that a Russian disinformation campaign is at the center of the burgeoning scandal currently engulfing the Biden campaign in the final days of the election.
Bobulinski said in a press statement he released Wednesday night:
My name is Tony Bobulinski. The facts set forth below are true and accurate; they are not any form of domestic or foreign disinformation. Any suggestion to the contrary is false and offensive. I am the recipient of the email published seven days ago by the New York Post which showed a copy to Hunter Biden and Rob Walker. That email is genuine.
According to Bobulinski, the use of the term ‘the Big Guy’ in one such email was a direct reference to Joe Biden himself.
Vice presidential hopeful Harris’ name has been connected to the growing scandal as well:
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) was reportedly listed as one of several “key domestic contacts” for a Chinese business venture proposed in 2017 by Hunter Biden and James Biden, the son and brother of former Vice President Joe Biden, respectively.
The truth is out Commie Rat Pig Bastards!! You’re the only Morons with your heads in the Sand!! Ignoring the truth will NOT make it go away! AMERICA Knows!!
Thing is tax payer funded repression and cover-up.
Refund NPR.
NPR should be defunded being they want to censor reporting news that is detrimental to the liberal left.
Joe Biden and the Democratic party have zero concept of knowing the truth … Even when it bites them constantly on the Ass …
All you as a sane american have to do is look to the states that have had Democratic leaders for the last several decades … San Francisco, Baltimore, Chicago, New York, Seattle, Los Angeles, Portland …. The list goes on forever … The constituents of all these states and cities have suffered from over taxation, lies and nothing ever getting done by the left …. The Trump revelation of Democratic Rule is going to create a RED WAVE of disgruntled Democrats and Independent voters the likes of which this country has never seen …

Whatever happened to investigative journalism? #DefundNPR. We don’t need them and the taxpayers money could be better spent elsewhere
NPR should go with the story and let the public decide to believe or not,we all know NPR is a arm of the democratic party so should know they will ignore it.
This figures. I have relatives so liberal and love pubic radio and tv so much they bleed liberal. So sad to see so many people taken in by mainstream media. Prayers for the election of Mr. Trump, Mr. Pence, and the rest of the Conservative party, also, Rush, for a cure for his cancer.
If NPS “doesn’t want to waste THEIR/your time,” then WHY does PBS (and presumably NPS also) waste their/our time by slamming President Trump repeatedly? They could use that time to report on the corruption of the Bidens.
Rather than a comment i have a question i desperately need answered or questions rather so heregoes. Are there no clauses within the constitution and its framework that can grant control or authority over to we the people of general public or what have you lets call it “us” at anytime after elected officials become so blatanly and openly obviously corrupt and morally bankrupt as well as unreliable and also compromised why not i mean take your pick every safeguard branch whos purpose is to create checks and balances that keeps the machine running without fail they are all compromised and incestious do we not have a clause not one ? It just seems familar but i get overwhelmed tryin to figure out whats still law from whats been changed and how And second thing i ask everybody is why are we not boycotting twitter and facebook completely it so stupid that we all dont go back to myspace hangout with Tom again because he was cool and so was myspace and it dont make sense everybody knows now how bad facebook sucks just like it always has and still we all stay with it and on it like we’re the dead horse being beaten here or something dumb along the same stupidity somehow and so why??? Why why why cant we go back to myspace fellow people? There we likely could you know organize some kind of wedding you know or maybe plan out that real big bbq we been needing to have as a nation probally more than ever since George Washington had his big bbq a while ago you know yall remember that dont you? Not bein mean im just paranoid about things some So i ask any and everybody with the time those 2 questions. Do we not have a clause to restore order ourselves like in the beginning? And doesnt everybody miss Tom by now forreal? Lets return to myspace everybody have a big bbq yall want to? Everybody down? Facebook has to go IMMEDIATELY
Doesn’t it seem very strange to you that NPR, funded by taxpayers, does not want to waste its “precious time” on solving the scandal concerning the investigation of the betrayal and corruption of potential President and Vice President of America?
The plot thickens. This is what politicians do. They lie, cheat and are deceptive. That is why Donald Trump won the election in 2016, he is not and was not a politician. This is why he will win in 2020. He is not a politician
TRUMP 2020
NPR is not ashamed to speak publicly about not printing the Biden story is sinful ,they are and will always be on my shit list that is the least I can do. The public should cost them aside like old trash that they are
all I can say is when is this corruption going to stop when are these people going to be held accountable for their actions, when do they pay the ultimate price for corruption? This is an outrage and these crooked politicians need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law including removal from public and imprisonment.
Public funding being wasted. Cancel all funding, I am a tax payer, there’s a lot more worthy organization that can use the funding! Cancel out another Fake News organization now
NPR are a bunch of MORONS. All they need to do is follow THE EPOCH TIMES, a very trustworthy paper, unbiased, presents all the FACTS.
I lost all respect for NPR.
Truth be told, I never respected them. They are only good for picking up my dog packs crap bombs.
NPR stands for NOT PROPER READING.
NPR is funded, at least partially, by taxpayers. DEFUND NPR! There is no place in America for censorship, or “journalism” so biased it can no longer qualify as journalism
