The Hunter Biden laptop story was a giant nothing-burger and no one had any real information about it before the election. It took time to responsibly analyze the contents are accurately report on it, and none of that happened until well after the election. Reporting on it at all before the facts were available would have clearly been inflammatory for no good reason.
