Uri Berliner, a senior business editor at NPR, admits that the Hunter Biden laptop story was newsworthy and revealed a connection to corruption, despite NPR turning a blind eye to it. NPR also failed to acknowledge its misjudgment when the laptop's authenticity was confirmed.
Uri Berliner, a senior business editor at NPR , admitted in a stunning op-ed published Tuesday that despite his outlet turning a “blind eye” to the Hunter Biden laptop story, the laptop was indeed newsworthy and that it revealed a “connection to the corrupt world of influence peddling.”
In October 2020, the New York Post published the explosive report about the laptop Hunter Biden abandoned at a Delaware computer shop containing emails about his sordid business dealings. With the election only weeks away, NPR turned a blind eye.
The laptop was newsworthy. But the timeless journalistic instinct of following a hot story lead was being squelched. During a meeting with colleagues, I listened as one of NPR’s best and most fair-minded journalists said it was good we weren’t following the laptop story because it could help Trump. “When the essential facts of the Post’s reporting were confirmed and the emails verified independently about a year and a half later, we could have fessed up to our misjudgment. But, like Russia collusion, we didn’t make the hard choice of transparency,” he concluded.
