OBS-294 · Media · Control
In the Hunter Biden laptop episode, the truth about the story did not change; what shifted was the media's permission to acknowledge it openly.

Authority, once exercised in a particular direction, is rarely relinquished despite the truth turning against it, thereby shaping public perception through controlled narrative timing.
