The Swamp Conspires

Power Line’s Scott Johnson describes the Congressional testimony of Emma-Jo Morris. She was the New York Post’s deputy politics editor who reported the Hunter Biden laptop story when no other mainstream outlets would touch it. As she notes, her story was before the election when it could have, indeed should have negatively influenced the outcome for Joe Biden. Her words:

Over the last few years, my reporting has been confirmed by virtually every mainstream news outlet, from the Washington Post, to the New York Times, to Politico when the stakes were nothing, by the way, two years later. No one denies that the laptop is real, that the origin story is exactly what I told you it was in the first place. This elaborate censorship conspiracy wasn’t because the information being reported on was false. It was because the information was true, and a threat to the power centers in this country. (emphasis added)

Is it any wonder conspiracy theories are so widespread and easy to believe? We later learn many of them were suppressed fact.

If we no longer believe what the Swamp says because so often they’ve deceived us blatantly. When you sow the wind, you reap the whirlwind.
