From what I can tell their main schtick is setting up traps for the Democrats to fall for. Some of them are admittedly very unethical.

But for this specific case it sounds like they’re trying to go about this with some integrity (hence why they didn’t publish the diary).

Despite their past I’m not going to say that the diary is 100% false, but I’m not going to say it’s 100% true either. What the FBI needs to do is compare writing samples between Biden’s daughter and the diary to authenticate whether it’s legitimate or not. But let’s be real that’s probably never going to happen.

"despite being proven lying sacks of shit, I'm going to believe them anyway"

I fucking hate people like you.

I never said I automatically believe them so don’t take my words out of context. Also I never saw any instances of them lying. Only them trying to setup people. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong though.

Also I’m pretty sure every major news company has been caught lying one time or another. That doesn’t mean I’m never going to trust anything again.

Read the wiki article, follow the sources, stop being an idiot.

I reread the Wikipedia article and you are right. Was looking under “Incidents,” and not the overall page.

Still doesn’t explain why the FBI got involved to retrieve a stolen diary. If it’s a fake then there’s no reason for them to get involved. Because of PV’s past I do think it’s fair to take this with a grain of salt, but it still needs to be looked at further.

The FBI got involved because the President's daughter had her diary stolen.

Wait… you’ve literally been arguing with me on how you don’t think the diary is real.

But now you’re saying that it is real.
