So this explanation was obviously bullshit. For example, they had no problem with people sharing the NY Times article about Donald Trump's illegally obtained tax returns, but here they found the Hunter Biden story objectionable, even though there was no evidence any "hacking" was involved. (I will admit that it's possible that hacking was really the source of this, but the NY Post article didn't make a single mention of hacking!)
Pathetic.
They should have just said it was an overzealous employee who made an error in judgment, that they disciplined that employee, and that they will not censor news stories ever again.
