The 'Real Time' host blasted the media for ignoring the explosive New York Post report during the 2020 presidential election.
During his panel discussion on Friday night, Maher offered a history lesson about how in the"John Adams day" the country had"different newspapers for different parties" and what"brought it home to me" was how The Washington Post as well as The New York Times authenticated the laptop the New York Post first reported on nearly two years ago.
Maher continued,"So the New York Post got a hold of what was in the computer. And, you know, because the New York Post is a Republican paper, and The New York Times and The Washington Post are the Democratic paper[s]… And the Republican paper, Twitter… canceled their account! They can't even report on this story. And now two years later, The New York Times and The Washington Post have come around and say, ‘Okay, there was something there.
"It looks like the left-wing media just buried the story because it wasn't part of their narrative and that's why people don't trust the media," Maher said. CNN legal analyst Laura Coates attempted to offer a more nuanced rationale to downplay the media's culpability. Notably, Coates' network was caught spiking the Hunter Biden laptop story as it broke according to recordings obtained by Project Veritas released in December 2020. "I think it can also be about the idea of you know, one, the priorities that the media has about what stories to put forward.
