The New York Post was banned from Twitter for a full week for reporting on the Hunter Biden story, which was backed up by award-winning progressives/whistleblowers including Glenn Greenwald and Chris Hedges.

It's easy to laugh at sensational conservative reporting, but let's not downplay a very real issue: partisan suppression of leaks and the sensationalizing of stories. Just because a story doesn't serve your political interest doesn't mean it warrants suppression. Just because a leak is dropped by a foreign adversary at an inopportune time doesn't make its contents irrelevant.

If you have the knowledge to contest misinformation, than do so. I'm not that smart, but I know that petty attacks widen our social divides.

When you tell the entire population that the vote will be 100% democratic, and it's not, it's not surprising that some of them buy into insane conspiracies and run with them.
