You're afraid of clicking on NPR.org?

Wasn’t NPR the media group that refused to report on HB’s laptop? Why should we believe them now?

Sure, why not believe a habitual liar whose own lawyers have said he couldn't be trusted, ie, Trump.

What exactly was the big existential crisis about Hunter's laptop anyhow? You all shrieked and howled and screamed about it holding the key to exposing a vast Biden corruption scheme of massive amounts of foreign money, bribes and influence peddling and made out like it was the biggest scandal in all history.

But what was the REALITY of Hunter's laptop? All it showed is that Hunter had a drug problem and didn't disclose it on his gun application. That's it. Big whoop.

It was nowhere near as bad as the George W. Bush lies about WMDs that set us off wasting trillions in Iraq. It was nowhere near as bad as Iran Contra or Watergate. And certainly nowhere near as bad as the crap Trump is doing right now.

Yeah, NPR was wrong for not covering it, and they publicly acknowledged that and apologized for it, but frankly you should be questioning and shunning some of the media that made Hunter's laptop a much bigger deal than it actually was, to include quite a few false claims, even claiming there was child porn on the laptop.

Compare for example NPR versus the New York Post. NPR didn't have enough verifiable facts about what the laptop contained and chose not to report on it. The New York Post on the other hand ran full bore day after day after day with salacious claims about corruption and bribery and millions of dollars changing hands. So did FOX News. So did Breitbart. So did the Daily Mail. So did the Washington Examiner. So did Newsmax. So did OANN. So did Gateway Pundit. So did The Federalist. They all ran hog wild claiming the laptop had evidence of a vast bribery and corruption scheme... WHICH DID NOT PAN OUT TO BE FACTUAL.

Each of those outlets is thus objectively WORSE than NPR. Do you acknowledge that?

Is this a different breech from the one where credentials were created by DOGE and moments after their creation, the credentials were utilized by someone trying to log in from Russia? Or is this the same breech?

A baby is "breech."
This is a "breach." Just fyi.

They absolutely did this at SSA. And SSA has so much sensitive data on every American. Ask me how I know.

You don't know what NPR is? Seriously, comments like yours are exactly why many people think this board is full of foreign trolls. Frankly I don't think you're even qualified to be visiting a US politics message board if you don't even know what NPR is.

I feel like maga has succeeded when they have convinced people that NPR isn’t to be trusted. So sad.

Key Points:

Whistleblower: Daniel Berulis, NLRB cybersecurity expert, flagged DOGE’s unlogged access to sensitive cloud systems.

DOGE’s Actions: Bypassed security protocols, extracted 10GB of data, and used tools suggesting potential backdoors.

Implications: Risks include blacklisting union organizers, corporate advantages, or foreign data theft.

Intimidation: Berulis received threatening materials at home.

Broader Context: DOGE’s data access across agencies raises privacy and security concerns, with ongoing lawsuits and resignations hampering oversight.

Next Steps: Congressional calls for investigation; NPR seeks more whistleblower accounts.


DOGE was never about about saving money. It’s about stealing our data and destroying things that MAGA doesn’t like, like USAID & regulations. If anything, DOGE has shown that the government has less waste than people may have expected.

Translation: "I don't like NPR because they didn't push the same salacious lies about the laptop that NY Post, Newsmax and others did about the laptop."

What an unbelievable abuse of access. But Musk et al feel justified because why should they be constrained by the rules on ordinary plebes?

Jeez just stop. Common courtesy to give a short synopsis when you were posting something instead of just making people go do all the work. Not everyone has all the time in the world.

Wired has been doing a lot of great reporting on this.
