When future historians look back on the Trump era, two things that will stand out is his influence in shaping the Supreme Court and the manner in which he exposed the media for their indisputable bias against Republicans.
And no story will support the latter than the suppression of Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell in the final days of the 2020 presidential election, a laptop that referenced 10% to the “big guy” as Hunter traded on the family name in Communist China, Ukraine, and other places. On that note, a full two years and then some later, CBS News has finally come around to acknowledge the laptop’s existence — this being the once venerable CBS News, home of Walter Cronkite.
CBS News investigative reporter Catherine Herridge, formerly of Fox News, details in this week’s report some of what was found during an independent forensic review of the laptop:

What is especially embarrassing for the network, assuming the liberal ideologues at the helm can feel shame, is that when then-President Trump told Lesley Stahl on “60 Minutes” that the laptop was real, the CBS News anchor shut him down by saying it could not be verified.
Two years ago Donald Trump told CBS’s Lesley Stahl on 60 Minutes the Hunter Biden laptop was real and should be covered by the media. Stahl said it couldn’t be verified. Two years later @cbsnews has finally verified it. Trump was right. Again. pic.twitter.com/o7a3cMQ4Jn

Media Research Center president Brent Bozell responded to the story to say that if CBS News was “serious” about reporting on the matter, they should interview Biden’s former business associate Tony Bobulinski:
If CBS is serious about finally reporting on Hunter Biden’s scandals, they need to do an on-air interview with Tony Bobulinski.

Keep in mind that more than 50 former intelligence officials, including former heads of the CIA, signed a letter claiming the laptop was “Russian disinformation,” a factor that may expose a third thing about the Trump years — just how political the U.S. intelligence apparatus is in favor of Democrats.
Here are the names of the 50 intel officials who signed a letter saying Hunter Biden's laptop was "Russian disinformation." As @RichardGrenell has pointed out, none of these officials had a single piece of raw intel indicating it was disinformation. They made it up to help Biden. pic.twitter.com/l8rRXuDW1L

As might be expected, CBS was dragged on Twitter for the shameless display of so-called journalism — here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story from Twitter:
In 2020, CBS’ Lesley Stahl claimed Hunter Biden’s laptop “can’t be verified,” and his shady business dealings “have been investigated and discredited.”
What changed? The facts sure didn’t.

Remember when Lesley Stahl of CBS told President Trump the Hunter Biden laptop story couldn’t be verified? TWO YEARS LATER, CBS has finally admitted the laptop is real. Mainstream media hacks are LAZY and INCOMPETENT! President Trump was RIGHT all along!!

A CBS investigation authenticates the content of Hunter Biden’s laptop. Two years earlier, Joe Biden, Democrats, intelligence operatives, big tech & liberal media said the laptop’s content was faked to fool the public. https://t.co/qeTxUNfF9O
