Avast ye scurvy dogs! Them critics be cursin' The New York Times for misreportin' a crucial word from a Hunter Biden quote, where he be claimin' his father had no "treasure" involved in business transactions. Arrr, what a blunder!
The New York Times is facing criticism for allegedly altering a quote from Hunter Biden's recent press conference and defying a congressional subpoena. Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden, publicly challenged "MAGA Republicans" and stated that his father was not financially involved in his business dealings. However, the Times' initial report omitted the word "financially" from the quote, which caught the attention of critics. The omission sparked backlash on social media, with commentators accusing the Times of intentionally doctoring the quote. The Times later updated the article with the correct quote but did not provide an editor's note or correction. This is not the first time the Times has been accused of stealth-editing a report involving Hunter Biden. In a previous incident, the Times initially described the New York Post's reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop as "unsubstantiated" but later removed the word from their report after facing backlash. The Times did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding these incidents. The press conference comes as the House of Representatives launches an impeachment inquiry into President Biden's alleged involvement in his son's business dealings. House Republicans are also threatening to hold Hunter Biden in contempt for defying a subpoena.
