Further, nothing in the story has actually been disputed yet Either. That's where i'm conflicted here. If it were a flat out lie, I'd say go for it, ban it. But as is stands, No one has denied, they've even gone as far as to say they won't deny them. We've had the FBI confirm the laptop. We've had one of the business partner Confirm the contents of the email. We know that multiple investigations are going on State / Federal level. This is news worthy, regardless of what side you're on.
There's 0 chance that they block any negative controversial stories about the Trump campaign or it's related parties.
It's a foolish place to stand your ground, when the outcome is going to be far worse for all sides than if they'd just let it die off naturally. The controversy itself has now given some on the right another reason to double down on their positions. It's divisive by the nature of the action.
The laptop and its contents seem to have been obtained legally in this case, and even if the whole thing reeks of parallel construction, they are not even honestly enforcing their stated rule (which again, does not seem to apply when it benefits the other faction).
