Hunter Biden Laptop Controversy
In late 2020, a controversy emerged involving data from a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden that was abandoned at a Delaware computer shop. The data was subsequently shared with the FBI, Republican operatives, and later the press. Forensic analysis authenticated some of the data on the laptop, including one of two key emails used by the ''New York Post'' in their initial reporting. No evidence of illegality by Joe Biden has been shown from the laptop contents. Three weeks before the 2020 United States presidential election, the ''New York Post'' published a story presenting emails from the laptop and stating that they showed corruption by Joe Biden. Incumbent president and presidential candidate Donald Trump tried to turn the story into an October surprise to hurt Joe Biden's campaign, with Trump asserting the false conspiracy theory that Joe Biden had acted corruptly regarding Ukraine while in office. PolitiFact wrote in June 2021 that, while "over time, there has been less ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

New York (magazine)
''New York'' is an American biweekly magazine concerned with life, culture, politics, and style generally, and with a particular emphasis on New York City. Founded by Milton Glaser and Clay Felker in 1968 as a competitor to ''The New Yorker'', it was brasher and less polite, and established itself as a cradle of New Journalism. Over time, it became more national in scope, publishing many noteworthy articles on American culture by writers such as Tom Wolfe, Jimmy Breslin, Nora Ephron, John Heilemann, Frank Rich, and Rebecca Traister. In its 21st-century incarnation under editor-in-chief Adam Moss, "The nation's best and most-imitated city magazine is often not about the city—at least not in the overcrowded, traffic-clogged, five-boroughs sense", wrote then-''Washington Post'' media critic Howard Kurtz, as the magazine increasingly published political and cultural stories of national significance. Since its redesign and relaunch in 2004, the magazine has won more National Mag ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
