Emails containing alarming details about Hunter Biden’s international business dealings and influence peddling were revealed only last week, but Wikipedia has already cleared his name.
Emails containing alarming details about Hunter Biden's international business dealings and influence peddling were revealed only last week, but Wikipedia has already cleared his name.
Wikipedia writes "[Hunter Biden] and his father have been the subjects of debunked right-wing conspiracy theories pushed by Donald Trump and his allies concerning Biden business dealing and anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine."

To date, neither the Biden/Harris campaign nor Hunter Biden have "debunked" the emails, yet this claim is in the second paragraph of a 2,290-word article.
Biden has said instead that he has "no response," and it's "another smear campaign."
I asked Joe Biden: What is your response to the NYPost story about your son, sir?
He called it a “smear campaign” and then went after me. “I know you’d ask it. I have no response, it’s another smear campaign, right up your alley, those are the questions you always ask.” pic.twitter.com/Eo6VD4TqxD

Will Chamberlain, the Editor-in-Chief of Human Events, quickly took to Twitter, suggesting anyone who had doubts about Hunter Biden's recently found emails was nothing short of irrational and unfounded.
Anyone doubting the authenticity of the Hunter Biden emails at this point is a conspiracy theorist

Shortly after having published on the discovery of Hunter Biden's emails found on the hard drive of a laptop reportedly belonging to him and abandoned at a Delaware repair shop, the New York Post's articles and Twitter account censored on Twitter and suppressed on Facebook.
Joe Biden and the Biden Campaign share deep connections with both companies.
According to reporting from Fox News, Biden's transition team hired former Facebook executive, Jessica Hertz. Days later, the team would send a letter to Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, appealing to his "responsibility to protect democracy and fight "disinformation," and asking Facebook to censor a number of the Trump Campaign's activities on the platform.
Twitter's censorship of the New York Post coverage came shortly after the former the company's Director of Public Policy, Carlos Monje, came to work for the Biden transition team.

Twitter has also banned the accounts of a number of individuals who attempted to share the story on their personal accounts. Charlie Kirk, a conservative spokesperson and founder of Turning Point USA, found himself locked out of his account.
"I'm kind of in a hostage situation with Twitter. I do not have access to my Twitter account because I tweeted a widely reported story," Kirk said.
There is reportedly a bias both among big tech companies and their employees to favour Biden and the Democrats. Twitter had suspended the account of the Trump campaign, as well as other conservative voices, in the purge that came after the New York Post suppression. Some Twitter employees have reportedly wished death upon the President as well.
