Brian Stelter falsely claimed Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop “wasn’t” labeled Russian disinformation by the establishment media after he continually furthered the false narrative as a CNN anchor.
Despite the receipts, Stelter appeared on the Fourth Watch podcast with media critic Steve Krakauer on Friday and defended his false narrative and the claims of his former media colleagues.
“I think newsrooms just looked around and said, ‘We don’t have the laptop. We don’t have evidence. We don’t have evidence it’s real. And we know that there are reasons to wonder if it’s disinformation,'” Stelter explained about newsrooms that refused to investigate until after the election. “A lot of the lies that happen now about what happened in 2020 go like this – they say, ‘All these a–h—s, they all called it a disinformation!’ That’s not true,” Stelter said, adding:
A lot of us just wondered, we said out loud, ‘Could this be?’ We said things like ‘some former U.S. officials think it might be,’ it was always cushioned – it was not always, it was often cushioned that way. And now in retrospect, two years later, three years later, people like partisans like to pretend that it was labeled disinformation, which it wasn’t. There was concern. There was reason to be concerned not because of the Hillary emails, but because of the Russian attempt in 2016.
