The mainstream media ignored the release of the seventh "Twitter File" on Monday, which revealed the role that the FBI and other intelligence agencies played in suppressing a story about the so-called "Laptop from Hell" scandal.
Several major media outlets, including the New York Times, Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times, ignored the news about the role that the FBI and other intelligence agencies played in suppressing a story about the so-called "Laptop from Hell" scandal. According to Michael Shellenberger, a journalist at the New York Post, the agency and other intelligence agencies distorted the facts about Hunter Biden's foreign business activities.

Breitbart News reported on Monday’s “Twitter Files” revelations the media ignored:
The narrative that emerged from the "Twitter Files" would be used by most legacy media outlets in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential elections to justify their refusal to report on the damaging materials.
According to Shellenberger, former agents working for the intelligence agencies used their connections with Twitter to influence the company's management to suppress stories about the Biden family's foreign business activities. They fabricated the story that documents showing the family's earnings from Eastern European and Chinese political groups were part of a cyber-leak operation.
According to Shellenberger, the members of the Intelligence Community (IC) targeted senior executives at social media and news organizations to spread false information about Hunter Biden using a hard drive that was owned by him. The drive was seized by the FBI almost a year prior to the Post's report.
In his report, Shellenberger noted that the FBI and other agencies instructed Yoel Roth, who was Twitter's head of safety and security, to ignore reports about the Biden family's computer being used for a Russian cyber-leak operation. Despite the fact that the authorities had the computer since December 2019, and despite Roth's insistence that there had been little Russian activity on the platform, the executives of Twitter still continued to suppress stories about the family's foreign financial activities.
The media's decision not to report on the files came after the various news organizations claimed that Hunter's computer was used for Russian disinformation. The claims were made based on a discredited October 2020 story published by the political news website, which featured several former intelligence officials.
The story published by the political news website, which was discredited, targeted the story that Emma-Jo Morris, the New York Post's reporter, had broken earlier. The headline on the site still remains intact.
Richard Grenell, a former director of the National Intelligence, criticized the media for its silence on the issue. He also criticized the New York Times' reporter Maggie Haberman for failing to report on the details of the alleged Russian disinformation operation.
In an attempt to get to the bottom of the issue, Grenell asked Haberman why she didn't report on the computer in October 2020. He also asked why she didn't apologize for helping Joe Biden.
Member of the press Benjamin Weingarten also criticized the media for its failure to report on the details of the alleged Russian operation. He noted that the media had initially collaborated with the FBI to suppress the information that was found on Hunter's computer.

He noted that the media had cooperated with the FBI in order to suppress the information that was discovered on Hunter's computer. This was similar to how the media suppressed the Russiagate story. According to him, the media had also colluded with the Biden family to conceal the details of their financial activities.
Peter Schweizer, a senior contributor at the conservative political news website, published his two books in 2018 and 2020. His books revealed how Joe Biden and Hunter traveled to China in 2013 and how they benefited from the country's government.
Through his work, Schweizer was able to uncover the Biden family's extensive foreign deals and other lucrative financial activities.
The investigative work conducted by Emma-Jo Morris, a reporter for the New York Post, on Hunter Biden's laptop "from hell" caught widespread attention. She and Miranda Devine revealed that Joe Biden was closely involved in Hunter's businesses. It also appeared that he had a 10% stake in a company that was established with the help of Chinese Communist Party official.
