Two former POLITICO reporters are blasting their former employer for spreading disinformation and suppressing negative stories about Democratic Party leaders, especially former President Joe Biden. Marc Caputo and Tara Palmeri both point to numerous incidents where the corporate news outlet either slow-walked or outright suppressed news stories that were damaging to Biden or members of his family, including investigations into Hunter Biden and his infamous laptop.
“Another great example, when POLITICO did that terrible, ill-fated headline. ’51 intelligence agents—or former intelligence agents—say that the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation. Or bore the hallmarks of disinformation,’” Caputo recalls, highlighting the most infamous media scandal during the 2020 election. “Turns out that story was closer to disinformation because the Hunter Biden laptop appeared to be true.”
Palmeri adds that social media giants Facebook and Twitter—armed with false stories by corporate media outlets like POLITICO—subsequently suppressed factual posts about Hunter Biden and the laptop’s contents.
“POLITICO, my former employer—and I knew at the time—didn’t do itself any favors. I was covering Biden at the time, and I remember coming to my editor and saying, ‘Hey, we need to write about the Hunter Biden laptop.’ And I was told this came from on high at POLITICO, ‘Don’t write about the laptop, don’t talk about the laptop, don’t tweet about the laptop,’” Caputo says. “The only thing that POLITICO wound up writing was that piece that called it disinformation, which charitably could be called misinformation, at the least.”
HUNTER, GUNS, AND TAXES.
Responding to Caputo’s experience, Palmeri recalls her own reporting on Hunter Biden’s illegal possession of a firearm, which ultimately saw him prosecuted by the Department of Justice (DOJ). However, she suspected that despite detailed reporting and a mountain of evidence she was able to uncover, her editors slow-walked the story for three months because it would anger the Biden family and jeopardize Hunter Biden specifically. “I do wonder if it would’ve been published a little quicker if it was a different type of story,” Palmeri tells Caputo.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
