I don't see how this is proof that they lied to anyone.

I don't know much about any of that stuff. This one's about the reckoning for right wing media for their dishonesty and lies. You may have another decent idea for a different thread. That Hunter stuff doesn't really seem too interesting in the grand scheme of things. But Turley is paid well by one of those dishonest media corporations who has already faced hundreds of $millions$ in financial consequences for intentionally lying to consumers. I wouldn't treat his theories as reliable. He is smart but his scutes have been showing since Trump's first impeachment. "What about" is not invited to this particular thread though. Quick March! Lol

How long were we told that Trump colluded with Russia and that Adam Schiff had proof?

It’s not just Turley. The laptop was used as evidence in federal court.

I don't know. Please go on if you can't heed the topic sir. Thank you.
Is this something that is restricted to right wing media? Would it be off topic to ask if you don’t think the mainstream media does the same thing?

One of the reasons for the 25th Amendment is that one President, Wilson, suffered a severe stroke paralyzing one side of his body. The problem is that Wilson, himself, did not believe he was so paralyzed and planned for a 3rd term though his wife and aides kept him sheltered. People with a similar stroke often do not believe they are paralyzed on one side at all, though they are severe, and they get angry.

Reagan in the last year or so of his term was suffering dementia and his wife and aides sheltered him, too.

I guess Hunter’s lawyers would have sought to quash the laptop solely on the basis of the chain-of-custody unless the data was corroborated via the cloud.

The left recognizes the constitution. I wish MAGA did more.

About free speech:

Only that expression that is shown to belong to a few narrow categories of speech is not protected by the First Amendment. The categories of unprotected speech include obscenity, child pornography, defamatory speech, false advertising, true threats, and fighting words. Deciding what is and is not protected speech is reserved to courts of law.​


Defamatory speech has to do with defamation. Ex. Alex Jones has to pay the parents for Sandy Hook as he defamed their children and them by claiming it did not really happen and it was a hoax.

I watch a mixture, I catch the NBC nightly news on my off nights and I watch some programs on Fox but I know what I’m getting with both. I appreciate Guttfield’s humor so I like to watch his opening before I go to bed.
Last night some shows on Fox were running with the “my cousin is a juror” story when I had already read on Twitter and the Forums it was posted by a troll.
I try not to be naive. I research what I can find on the internet too when I am interested in a story.

Let me ask you a serious question. I'll be honest with you after I ask. Do you find yourself more inclined to watch the news with Biden in office than you did when Donald was in office? I can be honest with you. I used to faithfully watch the evening news, ABC or NBC usually. I haven't had cable or satellite TV for many years now. But I was fit to be tied when Trump was in office. It was fascinating yet maddening to see him get away with anything he did. I couldn't believe congress and the senate couldn't (or wouldn't) reign him in. They didn't even try. Though they both possessed the same power as the Donald, they acted subservient, and boy did he eat that up lol. But now I've been decompressing from the Trump carnival and barely paying any mind to the news. If I catch it on TV that's fine. If not it's even better! I've nearly turned the corner on this political torture I've endured the past eight or nine years. Please don't make us all live thru it again. If you can't vote for President Biden, may I suggest you forgo the voting booth altogether and take your family out for a nice dinner to remember the important things in life.

It’s about the same, it just seemed like when Trump was president he was the story all the time.

The laptop was used as evidence in the gun trial.
Yes, because the FBI took it into evidence.
The files released into the internet by Giuliani and others... who can say? Some of it has been authenticated, but not all of it.

Not much different in today's media coverage. Trump is still the story everyday, everywhere. Only a few changes of consequence have occurred in Don's world since taking those documents from the white house January 20th, 2021. Mr Trump no longer is immune from prosecution and is already convicted of several felonies. And the business fraud convictions. And the $millions$ in defamation debt for Ms Carroll. And many of his cohorts in conservative media are being fired or facing criminal charges or already convicted and heading for the stripey hole by July 1st. Maybe Don can start his own podcast from Leavenworth some day. I think one of his heroes stayed there for a while. (Na na na na na na the night Chicago died. Brother what a nite the people saw, brother what a fight the people saw. Yes indeed.)

I can't figure out how that relates to my post. And it hits too close to home for me to address. My mother was diagnosed last year with dementia too and is now in assisted living in another state. I have yet to reconcile my feelings about it.

I posted in the wrong thread.
Had a senior moment.
