For some time now, US President Donald Trump has been accusing his Democratic rival Joe Biden of corruption connected to his ties with Ukrainian businessmen. According to Trump, Hunter Biden, one of his rival's sons, connected his father, at the time – vice president, to a prominent Ukrainian businessman, who advocated for the interests of that businessman within the US administration.
Until recently, many thought this was a ridiculous conspiracy at best or a molehill that the president turned into a mountain, at worst. But last week, the New York Post published an article that sheds light on the details. The paper revealed an email sent by businessman Vadim Pozharsky, an adviser to the executive board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, to Hunter Biden, who at that time was on the executive board of the company for a salary of $50,000 a month, even though he admitted he had no relevant experience in the business. In the message, Pozharsky thanks Hunter for helping to coordinate a meeting with his father, the vice president.

Biden, now running for president, has asserted that he never spoke with his son about his business abroad and has mostly denied that he ever put pressure on the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor who was involved in the investigation against Burisma, the company his son worked for.
But on one occasion he bragged that he threatened the Ukrainian authorities that he would withhold an American loan of one billion dollars if the prosecutor wasn't fired. The New York Post article also revealed an email from 2014, where Pozharsky asked Hunter to "advise how to use his [Hunter's] influence." The computer which held the emails also had embarrassing photos of Hunter.
These revelations, which cast a dark shadow over the credibility of Biden and strengthen the suspicions of corruption and misuse of power in order to promote his son's business were supposed to shake the election and cause an earthquake. But it seems that social media networks have taken upon themselves a historic role: to keep Joe Biden safe until the election.
Using the somewhat weak excuse that the article used a hacked email server (in fact, Hunter's computer was apparently left in a lab and never picked up), Twitter decided to censor the article, freeze the Twitter accounts of the White House spokesperson and of the New York Post, and even lock the account of the Trump campaign.
No one is surprised that the liberal American media is working for Biden and his running mate Harris. No embarrassing statement of theirs or revelations on corruption will change the strategic decision of the mainstream media to put the Democratic candidate in the White House. What's bothersome is the possibility that the social networks, possibly the most influential media giants of our time, are meddling in elections and that Silicon Valley is using its heavy artillery against the Right and the Conservative camp – in the US, and the rest of the world.
