New York Times Hunter Biden laptop article is masterpiece of burying admissions

There are some things that are just painful to watch. For some of us, the Chicago Bears offensive line in the last couple of years would force us to look the other way for four quick downs. For others, it is cringe-worthy dancing and singing of politicians to appeal to younger voters.

There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he’s accusing me of is a Russian plant. [F]ive former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he’s saying is a bunch of garbage. People familiar with the investigation said prosecutors had examined emails between Mr. Biden, Mr. Archer and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity. Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation.

Last year, National Public Radio admitted that the Hunter Biden laptop story was authentic and not Russian disinformation. It appears to have taken the New York Times even longer to move along that journalistic path of the Kübler-Ross process of grieving.
