Media Scrutiny Following Hunter Biden Laptop Story

In October 2020, leading up to the Presidential election, the New York Post published an article reporting that a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden had been recovered and it contained evidence that he was trading on his family’s name. Not only was this story labeled Russian misinformation by countless media organizations, but Twitter and Facebook initially restricted access to the article. Now the New York Times has confirmed the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s laptop and the messages that it contained. Howard Kurtz, host of “MediaBUZZ” on the FOX News Channel and the Media BUZZMeter podcast joins to breakdown how the mainstream media originally suppressed this story, the recent corroboration of this story creating questions surrounding journalistic accountability and how this may impact the public’s trust in the media.

Casualties are on the rise as Russia continues to bomb major cities across Ukraine.  While reporting on the tragic war in Ukraine, a FOX News crew was attacked outside of Kyiv. FOX cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski and journalist Sasha Kuvshynova were killed in the attack while FOX News correspondent Benjamin Hall suffered grave injuries. Hall was rescued from behind enemy lines by a group called Save Our Allies. The organization’s co-founder Sarah Verardo joins the Rundown to discuss details of how they reached the FOX crew, the organization’s origins with the collapse of Afghanistan, and why the rescue mission means so much to her.
