    There's no reason not to ask Biden about his son's laptop. None. It's not going to decide the election anyway.

    I think part of the reason it's not getting asked is related to:

    1. Other reporters making a stinkface if it is.

    2. Biden getting awfully entitled in these final weeks, in a "you don't have the right to know and you wouldn't understand" kind of way.

    He's become like a football coach, in other words. The collegiate version, which rely on 15 toady "recruiting guy" reporters to chill the 2 or 3 who actually have a real question.

    No, the reason it’s not getting asked is related to the story being complete fiction.

    Y'mean, Russia made up the emails and videos? They're fiction?

    If a reporter knew that, or even was pretty sure of it, that'd be a great question to tee up for Biden, and Biden would want to drive it 320. A campaign knows how to tee that up, too.

    Nobody's teeing anything up.

    Make the better argument, said the guy who supports an imbecile who shouted Fake Witch Hunt as many times as he could over a 9-month span

    Supports Trump? No. I don't.

    The argument and the last line are not related. What does fat shaming have to do with the virus? Did you similarly scold your comrade?

    Has anyone seen the video?

    They certainly haven't shared the emails. They've shared PDFs of purported emails. No actual emails (with headers, though).

    Share the actual emails. Share the actual hard drive. Then we can talk about how real the story is.
