This is pretty cut and dry to me. I don't think we want to live in a world where the media...I'll use the term 'en masse' again...is making decisions for us about what news they should and should not report on based on how it will potentially affect an election.
I can accept that the Biden laptop is much ado about nothing. I have very little interest in it. The more relevant part of this discussion is how the media handled this story. Isn't it in this country's best interest to have trustworthy news sources?
