NYT still burying the Smirnov Scandal.

I guess the actual news that Smirnov was re-arrested yesterday would be difficult to report on when you've buried the original story about the Russian agent deeply involved in both the now failed Biden impeachment investigation and the massively dubious Hunter Biden prosecution.

On the other hand the New York 'But Her Emails' Times did find space on their front page, in the midst of the Mexican presidential election, to report that ALMO was not being investigated for corruption by us law enforcement agencies, although they looked into conducting an investigation. Perhaps they can report daily on investigations that aren't being done?

The NY Times covered up w’s cheating in 2000 & 2004, gave plenty of coverage to HRC and her
emails and email server, wrote that the story that HW Bush and others trips to Paris in 1980 in
order to put together an arms for hostages deal with Iran wasn’t true although they wrote in 2023
that yes it happened, and what have they written about the FBI agent McDongall (? Spelling) who
was on a Russian payroll in 2016 to rat fuck the HRC campaign.

Which other papers are reporting it correctly?

And "still"? Didn't it break like Tuesday?
