BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – A high-profile, liberal journalist was mocked after inaccurately claiming a declassified intelligence assessment proved Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop came from Russians trying to meddle in the 2020 election, when the director of national intelligence made no such claim.
The ODNI released the declassified assessment of foreign threats to the election pursuant to the Intelligence Authorization Act. The document didn’t reveal anything related to salacious materials on Biden’s laptop that was reported by the New York Post, but that didn’t stop liberal journalists from jumping to false conclusions.
MSNBC host Chris Hayes shared a tweet that declared the report confirmed the Hunter Biden story came from the Kremlin, writing, “The same dudes who ran the play last time!”
“This tweet is absolutely false. The report does not even mention the Hunter Biden laptop or the documents reported on, let alone allege that it came from Russia, let alone provide proof of this. This tweet is disinformation,” journalist Glenn Greenwald responded.
“Catching me in a lie or a series of lies, is not going to make me or anyone else at this network change our agenda of regularly misleading our viewers!” Hayes angrily stated on the air at MSNBC. “If that’s the goal of ruthless republicans, then they are wasting their freakin’ time!”
