FLASHBACK: Prominent MSNBC producer spread misinformation to cover for Hunter Biden

In the lead-up to the election, on Oct. 14, 2020, shortly after the New York Post published their initial reporting on the laptop, Kyle Griffin, an executive producer at MSNBC, tweeted in support of Facebook's censorship of the bombshell story.

"The Trump campaign claims Facebook is 'censoring journalism' because Facebook plans to limit the spread of the NY Post report. That is not censorship. Facebook is under no obligation to allow a disputed report that appears to contain disinformation to spread on their platform," Griffin wrote in October 2020.

The New York Post's story resurfaced because of a recent New York Times article, in which the corporate media outlet wrote that they have now authenticated the contents of the laptop, which talk about Hunter Biden's business dealings with Ukrainian energy company Burisma and world leaders.

The acknowledgement of the laptop by the major paper appeared to fall on deaf ears though with a number of former intelligence officials and media personalities, who still refuse to accept the recent revelation and decline to apologize over previous claims suggesting the story was "Russian disinformation."

In a White House press conference last week, Biden press secretary Jen Psaki, who had dismissed the story as "Russian disinfo," was grilled over her assessment.

In response to numerous questions, Psaki pointed reporters towards the Department of Justice and representatives of Biden's son, saying "I'm a spokesperson for the United States; he doesn't work for the United States."
