NBC News:
How a fake persona laid the groundwork for a Hunter Biden conspiracy deluge
Latest: Carlson loses interest in pursuing Hunter Biden:
Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who has obsessively covered Hunter Biden’s emails since the story exploded in conservative media earlier this month, suddenly said on Thursday night that he didn’t want to be involved with “piling on” Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s son...Interestingly enough, just a couple of hours before Carlson’s broadcast, NBC News reported that a 64-page dossier alleging a complex conspiracy involving Hunter Biden and China was actually authored by a fake persona. The fake intelligence document, which had been floating around the far-right web for a month before the New York Post published a controversial article echoing those conspiracy theories, was eventually disseminated by close associates of the president.
Perhaps, the far right had to go to such extremes to smear the Bidens because they could not dig up anything legitimate.
