It's something to ponder. Joe is about to outlive his usefulness and Hunter at age 52 doesn't want to face prison for all his crimes and be disbarred. I could actually see this happening.
Let us start with the facts surrounding the “discovery” of classified U.S.
www.thegatewaypundit.com
The Gateway Pundit?
The Gateway Pundit (
TGP) is an American
far-right[2] fake news website.
[1] The website is known for publishing falsehoods, hoaxes, and
conspiracy theories.
[34]
Founded by Jim Hoft in 2004,
The Gateway Pundit expanded from a one-person enterprise into a multi-employee operation that is supported primarily by
advertising revenue.
[35][36] During the
2016 U.S. presidential campaign, the site received over a million unique visitors per day.
[37] In September 2021,
Google demonetized the site for publishing misinformation.
[38][39][40]
The Gateway Pundit is known as a source of viral falsehoods and hoaxes.
[10][30][58] It has been described by the
Harvard Journal of Law & Technology as one of the websites that "primarily propagate
fake news",
[20] by
Newsweek as a
fake news website,
[59] and by
CNN as a website "prone to peddling
conspiracy theories".
[60] In August 2019, journalism professors Erik P. Bucy and John E. Newhagen observed that "The most aggressive fake news sites and associated
YouTube channels, such as
InfoWars,
The Gateway Pundit, and
The Daily Stormer, are routinely sued by victims of these published reports for
libel and
defamation."
[19] As a result of a number of lawsuits against
The Gateway Pundit over its false stories, it was reported in March 2018 that Jim Hoft had told his writers to be more careful: "I don't want any more lawsuits so we have to be really careful with what we put up."
[61] Hoft stated that he believes the lawsuits "are part of a multi-pronged effort to attack media outlets on the right."
[61]
In November 2019, the
Wikipedia community deprecated The Gateway Pundit as an untrustworthy source of information.
[62][63]
In July 2021, a spokesperson for
Google said that the company had demonetized
The Gateway Pundit's homepage and some of its articles, stating: "We have strict publisher policies that prohibit content promoting
anti-vaccine theories,
COVID-19 misinformation, and false claims about the
2020 U.S. Presidential election – and our enforcement can be as targeted as demonetizing a specific page. We already actioned the majority of pages shared from this report back in 2020 or early 2021 and similarly stopped serving ads on the site’s homepage last year. We will continue to take appropriate action if new content is uploaded that violates our policies."
[53] In September 2021, Google demonetized the site.
[38][39][40] A Google spokesman stated: "We gave the
Gateway Pundit ample notice to address persistent policy violations before we took action. We will not serve Google ads on the site until they can comply with our guidelines."
