"We don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don't want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions," NPR managing editor Terence Samuel told McBride. NPR famously declared it wouldn’t "waste our time on stories that are not really stories" regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop.
MSNBC anchor Katy Tur mocked the Post's story, saying it"dropped like a bomb," but to"wither under scrutiny, not really dropping like a bomb," while MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle attacked those who were covering the Hunter Biden controversy, referring to it as a "so-called story" with"unverified claims." "That includes admitting errors of fact and errors in decision-making.
