The esteemed Anne Applebaum told a reporter she didn’t find the Hunter Biden laptop story “interesting.”https://t.co/yTXgmXfpqE

Here’s the text from Schmidt:
Back when the Hunter Files were a live crisis for the Biden camp, Applebaum published a lengthy essay in The Atlantic that aimed to discredit the reporter who broke the laptop story. So if she doesn’t find the story interesting, why did she—along with the entirety of the corporate media apparatus—dedicate so much time and effort to trying to legitimate censorship of the Post’s reporting?
…
[Jeffrey] Goldberg, The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, put a cherry on top of all this when he lamented that his conference “has been the subject of disinformation campaigns.” Assuredly, he was referring to my question, as Applebaum’s spluttering answer went viral on social media, garnering nearly 3 million views. “Disinformation,” apparently, is when the self-appointed guardians of truth are exposed as partisan operators and handmaidens of high-tech censorship.
Did we mention that as recently as November Applebaum wrote that “even if every single word in the Steele dossier was wrong,” the FBI and media were right to treat it as legitimate. Why? Because it didn’t negate the “fact” that the Trump family welcomed Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.
Brit that quote should have been above her resignation signature.

Well obviously the “elite” know so much more than minions like us. So grateful @anneapplebaum is on guard to protect me from my ignorance.
