Social media (corporate) election interference and censorship

[mmj_uk]

Yesterday the NYPost posted a story involving Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden and emails obtained from an abandoned laptop that was sent in to a shop for repair. Joe Biden has always denied any involvement in his sons shady foreign business dealings but here's some of the highlights:

The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month.

“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads.

An earlier email from May 2014 also shows Pozharskyi, reportedly Burisma’s No. 3 exec, asking Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf.

Despite the emails Joe Biden still denies any involvement whatsoever and remember, it's innocent until proven guilty.

My main point of this post though is that social media (Facebook/Twitter) have been ferociously censoring any mention of the story and anyone who tried to link to it was either blocked from doing so or suspended, or both.

I don't think anyone can deny that if the shoe were on the other foot and it involved Trump and one of his sons, there would be wall to wall coverage in the corporate media to damage his re-election chances, so given that we've had 4 years of hysterical media coverage about Russian election interference, why is it acceptable for many of those same private corporations to meddle themselves by either not reporting on certain items in any meaningful way or by blocking the dissemination of information by the voting public on social media?

Twitter have since backtracked they never blocked it because it was "fake news" they did so using the justification that the emails were hacked, which is not the case and even if it was why didn't they take the same stance when it came to Trump's tax returns?

Joe Biden stands accused of potentially being involved in his sons schemes of taking money for political favours from foreign businesses and individuals in China, Russia and Ukraine. However the information was obtained all that should matter to the electorate is whether it is true or not. You aren't going to find that out when you have corporate media taking zero interest and/or censoring it because it hurts the corporate candidate.

Remember when Trump was impeached solely by the Democrats just for asking the Ukrainian president to look into corruption involving the Biden's? now we have evidence of it surface and it's immediately branded "Russian disinformation" and ignored by all of the corporate media, the very same media that ran with a Trump/Russia collusion narrative 24/7 for 3 years which directly undermined the US government. Where was their concern for "Russia disinformation" during all of that time? it's quite impressive how they know it to be Russian disinformation without even doing their job as investigative journalists and umm investigating it.

Real journalism is dead, most of them today are just too ideologically compromised that it prevents them from doing anything more than take the position of their own team, however irrational it might be.

Trump constantly gets called out for attacking the press but 4 years and one term later he hasn't done anything to stop them spreading their constant anti-Trump drivel, but one 200 year old newspaper posts an article the Biden supporters/corporate donors don't like and it gets censored into oblivion. Who are the dictators attacking the free press again?
