Emerging story
National File, a right-wing website, released an alleged copy of Ashley Biden’s diary. It alleges that Biden took showers with her, molested her, and other highly inappropriate acts. The National File claims to have received it from an “anonymous whistleblower.”
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar’s investigation found that this source is highly questionable. For an anonymous whistleblower to be credible, the publication must also be credible. In this regard, the National File fails. MediaBias lists it under conspiracy pseudoscience, referring to the website as “InfoWars-light.”
The National File often post articles asserting that 9/11 was an “inside job” and Hillary Clinton is involved in sex trafficking. They also post antivaxxer articles, such as “Parents Take To The Streets To Save Vaccine Exemptions From Political Elites."
Since this website is uncredible, it seems unlikely that a whistleblower would come forth to them. There are plenty of other websites that are more credible. It seems likely that National File has made this up or had gotten it from a fake source, judging from their credibility, the content, and the timing.
