New York Times stealth-edits report on Hunter Biden laptop story, scrubs 'unsubstantiated' following backlash

The New York Times quietly scrubbed the word "unsubstantiated" from its report on the Hunter Biden laptop story after facing intense backlash.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) determined on Monday that Twitter was not in violation of election laws when it suppressed the New York Post's explosive reporting about the damning revelations from the laptop of the then-Democratic nominee Joe Biden's son just weeks before the election, most notably the shady business dealings Hunter had while his father served as vice president. 

However, the Times offered an inaccurate characterization of the Post's reporting.
