Biden<\/em> were not aware of the evidence linking him \u201cto corrupt financial dealings with China through his son <em>Hunter Biden<\/em>,\u201d noted an analysis of the findings released Monday.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cThirteen percent of these voters (or 4.6% of Biden\u2019s total vote) say that had they known these facts, they would not have voted for the former Vice President. Such a shift away from Biden would have meant<em> President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/donald-trump\/\">Trump<\/a><\/em> would have won the election with 289 electoral votes,\u201d the conservative press watchdog noted.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The greater implication: Press coverage was at fault.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cIt is an indisputable fact that the media stole the election. The American electorate was intentionally kept in the dark. During the height of the scandal surrounding Hunter Biden\u2019s foreign dealings, the media and the big tech companies did everything in their power to cover it up. Twitter and Facebook limited sharing of the New York Post\u2019s reports, and the liberal media omitted it from their coverage or dismissed it as Russian disinformation,\u201d says <em>Brent Bozell,<\/em> founder of the center.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember that The New York Post was shut out of Twitter for posting an article about Hunter Biden&#8217;s business dealings. Any articles dealing with Biden family corruption are immediately fact-checked by Facebook. My right wing granny group on Facebook has been charged with sharing false information (anyone can join, please do). There is a mass exodus from Facebook right now. I am not sure how permanent it will be. As much as it is nice to communicate with old friends, it is not so nice to be brainwashed. Actions have consequences, and Facebook may be facing those consequences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday The Washington Times (the link is to the article posted on outline, as I don&#8217;t have a subscription to The Washington Times) posted an article about the role of the media in the 2020 Presidential election.
