I think it is an axiom that the very last authority anybody wants to be deciding what is real or true news, and what is not, is a government. As it is also an axiom, or used to be, that the press and the government exist as opposed categories, that a democratic press in particular has a predominantly oppositional role to state authority.The NP Comment newsletter from columnist Colby Cosh and NP Comment editors tackles the important topics with boldness, verve and wit.
The biggest story in the 2020 presidential race — let me rephrase that, what I think should have been the biggest story — was theon Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son. The Post had obtained the contents of a forgotten laptop that appeared to belong to Hunter Biden. It contained much salacious material. If anything comparable had shown up on a laptop belonging to Donald Trump Jr.
The New York Post’s story, however headlined, was not the salacious stuff but the more significant news that — possibly — Hunter Biden had used his father’s influence to enrich himself in foreign business dealings. The online headline went: “Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad.”Article content
Rex Murphy is a brilliant writer and advocate for freedom of thought and speech 🙌🏼♥️
Oh would Rex Murphy just shut up already. I'm so sick of this old white dude!
President Biden has openly admitted he doesn’t support his son’s drug habits.
He's gone off the deep end
Why is it so hard to prove that misinformation is a lie? Why do we need to censor it? Debate it and prove it wrong. The problem is: for much of it they can't. We are being lied to at an untold pace. The meat of misinformation comes from those who oppose the real truth.
All of human history, the other thing to make us think twice about censorship

National Post is pure propaganda.
Your articles should make you think about retirement.
We don’t need the liberals driving the censorship bus anymore
National disgrace and old dinosaur alert! Pure CONservative right wing propaganda and garbage from right wing media!
Joe Biden is proud of his son Hunter, the smartest person the president has ever known.
joe_warmington joe_warmington is this not election interference? Election interference by the government in power now?
WTF cares about hunter biden. A guy who never worked or ran for office. Yet the trumps were unelected, working in govt making and taking all sorts of money from foreign entities.
Or misinformation
Now do Jared Kushner and 2 billion from the Saudis. And Ivanka Trump's 700+ million from the Chinese. And Don Jr. and his obvious, loud public cocaine addiction.
Wait until the Covid files get released. And can you even imagine the political bias and censorship that is so likely taking place at FB also.
Look at Klaus Schwab's National post put up a right wing post to make themselves look like non bias news. Yet being quiet about the C-11 bill Trudeau is trying to put through. You people are deeply evil and smart. Scary.
Of course a story about a private citizen who may have attempted to enrich himself on his father’s name is more important that a son-in-law who received $2B from the Saudis after holding a senior position in a presidential administration. Welcome to the world of Rex Murphy!
Censorship isn't as big of a problem as ignorance.
Rex, seriously? Are you that desperate? Just pathetic. you’re really publishing this?

Yes, all correct and succinct by Rex. Another spear of truth to deflate leftist totalitarianism.
Good grief, more absolute nonsense from old Rex.
Russian bots 🚨

So Rex why are you not reporting on Fords fraudulent land deals or the missing $4 billion covid relief money! Talk about censorship, yours is pretty blatant!
Yup right up there with all the bad words we can’t say but can still say shit. World has gone to the crapper
Rex who? 🇺🇸
Interference!🤣 anybody has guts to call out on the U.S ? Anybody?
🤪
Excellent piece.
Rex's only real interest in this story is protecting conservatives who are ashamed of their support for trump and are trying to equivocate his aggrandizement of his children. So far this story is a bust but rex wants a controversy.
What the hell has happened to Rex Murphy?
Can’t wait for the Canadian version
For those that cheer on censorship, or any heavy-handed government action, because it favours “your side“ this time – remember, it would likely be used against you in the future. ….. imagine it in the hands of your worst political adversary
Or just yoel roth
Rex Murphy is one of the few media types in Canada who hasn't been co-opted by the Liberal/NDP party.
National Post followers are painfully quiet. You should have thousands of likes and retweet. I offer mine as a token of deep appreciation of you excellent (opinion?) piece.
A little more than that...
The Dems said they would do whatever it took to get Trump out. They believed the end justified the means. The left leaning in Canada are going down the same path.
I only had to think about it once. Hardcore left censorship and control types needs to wake up before they end up victims of their own blind agenda as well.
In related news, sky is blue.
It should also make it clear that the corporate/state media is the enemy of the people because they're the ones pushing the hardest for censorship.
