      What does the brouhaha over media and the Hunter Biden allegations tell us? First, it's about attention, not speech. Second, I'm baffled that we're not paying attention to the blatant blackmail. Why aren't we discussing that? I wrote about it for @insight. https://zeynep.substack.com/p/ignoringblackmail …pic.twitter.com/akJ16IkzGb

      I mean, look. Like many previous hacks, the Hunter Biden effort is a blatant attempt at blackmail, right in front of our eyes. How is this not obvious, and not a major story?

          As things stand, we don't truly know the provenance of the Biden emails. Could be the laptop as claimed, could be an iCloud hack... It's not that relevant to the point I'm making, tough. https://twitter.com/Noorvikdog/status/1322236782562496513 …

          There is simply no way to have a reasonably functioning politics if anyone running for major office faces a *personal* threat to their family, weeks before an election, with nary an alarm from us. That's true along with this: family nepotism deserves investigation. Of course.

          I don't understand how if the alleging party refuses to cooperate with any attempt to authenticate, the complaint can be "why isn't the media pushing the other party harder to authenticate?" especially given the obvious personal blackmail aspect. https://twitter.com/NBCJoshua/status/1322546159236337664 …pic.twitter.com/uGiZUJ9aLH

          "We'll drop this two weeks before the election despite having it for months, refuse to cooperate with any independent investigation, announce in the first 'journalistic' article that we have sex and drug tapes of your son... "🙄 Of course media shouldn't be blackmail-by-proxy.

          I think it was Gordon Sondland who said -- a million years ago -- that the point w/Zelenskiy was to get an announcement of an investigation, not to have the investigation find anything.

          Isn't blackmail an attempt to extract something from the victim, e.g. pay money or stand down? Where exactly did the NY post try do this?

          Trump extorted another country and nothing happened. The DoJ and senate work for Trump.

          Never underestimate the American public's willingness to be duped.

          I don't care what Hunter Biden has done. trump's family is so different bc they ALL work in the Whitehouse. Hunter is just another person who's never done anything that is as bad as what trump has done. Trump himself not trump's son Baron who has nothing to do w the Whitehouse
