Perhaps you're an example of how its censorship spreads misinformation. I'm not really passionate about the Biden laptop, but my understanding is that the NYT did recently admit* that it was real and they had some sort of policy to report on it as if it weren't. If you believe the laptop story was a fabrication by right-wingers, is it possible you have been deceived?

Disclaimer: I have no confidence either way to the veracity of the laptop. I don't know that much about it and whether it were true or not wouldn't change my political views much.

*I googled 'NYT biden laptop' and the most legitimate looking of the results was a WSJ article. I don't have a WSJ subscription to evaluate it, however.

It's crazy to me that people _still_ don't know that it's been confirmed by a "reliable" news source. The veracity of the NY Post story wasn't controversial, just the effect it would have on getting Biden into the White House. The corporate press ran cover for the Biden family to get the outcome they wanted in the 2020 elections.
