As some of you may remember, many years ago, the California Coastal Commission decided to take pictures of the coastline. Barbara Streisand sued to prevent them from taking pictures of her property. As a result of the publicity, her address and a photo of her house appeared in every newspaper. The Streisand Effect was born.
A week ago, a story appeared about files on a laptop that had been owned by Hunter Biden. Now, everyone knows Hunter is a sleazeball, so the result of the story didn’t surprise anyone.
However, Twitter and Facebook decided to cover up the story. Then, the Debate commission changed the rules for Thursday’s debate to prevent Trump from talking about Hunter. They are even putting in a mute button to let the leftie moderator silence Trump.
Suddenly, a moderately interesting story has become a rallying cry for Trump Supporters . Dumb move, media types.
