Brian Stelter on Friday falsely claimed Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop “wasn’t” labeled Russian disinformation by the establishment media after he continually furthered the false narrative as a CNN anchor.
Stelter, who was ousted by CNN and hired by Harvard, was among the numerous media personalities that pushed the false narrative for months. At least 15 media personalities claimed Hunter’s laptop was likely Russian propaganda before New York Times admitted it was authentic in 2022, directly contradicting many in the Democrat-allied media.

“U.S. authorities are seeing if those emails we just talked about are connected to an ongoing Russian disinformation effort,” Stelter said Sunday, Oct. 18, 2020, after emails on the laptop were publicly revealed through Breitbart News’s Emma-Jo Morris, formally at the New York Post. “For all we know, these emails are made up or maybe some are real and others are fakes — we don’t know.”
Many media personalities followed in Stelter’s footsteps. “Good. Russian disinformation meant to harm our democracy shouldn’t be given mainstream platforms,” Daily Beast reporter Wajahat Ali said.
The Trump campaign claims Facebook is “censoring journalism” because Facebook plans to limit the spread of the NY Post report. That is not censorship. Facebook is under no obligation to allow a disputed report that appears to contain disinformation to spread on their platform.
