WaPo Election Interference
Posted: Wed Oct 30, 2024 5:15 pm
The Washington Post committed massive election interference on behalf of Joe Biden to help him win in 2020. WP produced a fake story through its "fact checking" department that became nationally accepted and served as the basis for exonerating Biden of corruption in Ukraine. From CNN to Senate Democrats, everybody repeated verbatim the WP story in defense of Joe Biden.
This was just as big, if not bigger interference than the media outlets claiming Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation.
Hunter Biden was being paid by corrupt, criminal oligarch Zlochevsky, owner of Burisma. At the same time, Joe Biden demanded that Prosecutor General Shokin be fired or that he would not release U.S. aid to Ukraine. It worked. Shokin was fired.
There are two options. Prosecutor General Shokin's office was investigating the owner of Burisma or it wasn't. If it was, that means that Joe Biden blackmailed the President of Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating a criminal who was paying his son millions of dollars for doing nothing.
If that is the accepted narrative, there is no way around it. There is a good chance that Biden does not get elected. Even Trump's phone call that led to the first impeachment would have been seen differently.
Or...the Prosecutor General wasn't investigating Zlochevsky and Joe Biden just cared a lot about fighting corruption in Ukraine. This actually became the narrative and it was because of the WP.
The Washington Post never spoke to PG Shokin even though Shokin volunteered to talk. The WP never checked the details of what actually happened with the case in Ukraine. They used a one sentence quote given by someone who was fired by Shokin on suspicion of working with the Biden family in Ukraine, to form this story...
"The investigation into Burisma was dormant."
And boy did they run that story over and over and over. Every single day until half the country was mindlessly repeating it. Dan Goldman quoted the Washington Post story repeatedly in defense of Joe Biden.
French journalist Olivier Berruyer actually looked into what Shokin did during his one year stint as PG. Turns out, the investigation was active the entire year. The court had seized all of Zlochevsky's personal property just days before Biden demanded that Shokin be fired.
Biden absolutely did use foreign aid to get a prosecutor fired who was investigating a criminal who was paying his son.
Biden said they replaced Shokin with "someone solid."
That person closed all criminal cases against Zlochevsky and settled for a fine.
The fact checkers at the WP straight up lied about other aspects of the story. They lied about the content of a speech given by Ambassador Pyatt and they lied about dates of incidents, all to smear Shokin and help Biden. Berruyer did a number of videos exposing all of it. Nothing complex, he just doubled checked what the WP claimed, and easily found they had repeated lied.
And now Democrats are canceling their WP subscriptions because the paper hinted at the possibility of attempting to not be completely biased.
