The liberal reporter from The Washington Post, Paul Farhi, recently revisited the Hunter Biden laptop story, referring to it as “ancient history” and suggesting that it was not given enough credibility by the media. Farhi pointed to the 2004 “Killian documents” controversy, in which fake news aimed at discrediting George W. Bush’s National Guard record was exposed. However, Tim Graham countered this argument, noting that the media did not censor the Killian documents story, and it ultimately resulted in the retirement of Dan Rather and the firing of a top CBS News producer.

Farhi’s claim that the Hunter Biden laptop story was not censored was met with skepticism by many on social media, particularly in light of the fact that the New York Post, which first reported on the story, was locked out of their social media accounts for days. Some also pointed out that former Twitter executives had admitted to mishandling the story on the platform.
Additionally, Farhi’s assertion that the laptop story had been confirmed by The New York Times and The Washington Post months after it was initially reported was met with pushback. Some conservatives have suggested that liberals may be worried about the potential resurfacing of the laptop story, particularly in light of recent legal developments related to Hunter Biden. They argue that the laptop story, contrary to Farhi’s characterization, is not a myth and contains evidence of the Biden family’s questionable government dealings.
In response to Farhi’s claims, conservative commentators have emphasized that the Hunter Biden laptop story is not comparable to the debunked Killian documents controversy and have expressed doubts about the credibility of Farhi’s arguments.
