Where can they go if the "major" news outlets refuse to cover a story?

The MSM censorship of the blackout and of the laptop story are one and the same thing. They are horribly onerous as they make the MSM into nothing more than partisan political hacks with no interest in the truth or accurate reporting of the news.
Which of the 3 stories do you think is the biggest?
Which of the 3 stories from the opening post do you think is biggest?

Irrelevant.
Yes, I did. I've seen numerous examples of people trying to share that story and the BS messaging that they received back from Big Tech whenever they tried to do so... Kayleigh McEnany (the WH Press Secretary for goodness sake) got locked out of her account for attempting to share the story, as did James Woods and other prominent conservatives. You never see this happen with leftist people/groups/stories/etc...
Not an anti-Trump story... Try again.
I can tell.

I literally didn't read the opening post. I'm largely indifferent to you and your posts. What were the questions? And why should I care to answer them?

I would say the Biden story, since all the rest come from the first story.

That is strange since I sent several links to stories on Facebook about the issue.
A search for "Biden Burisma" shows many links including the following link to the original NY Post article with 1.9k comments:

There it is without any "blackout" or censorship.
Twitter and Facebook both took steps Wednesday to limit the spread of a New York Post story about Hunter Biden that has sparked questions about its sourcing.
Twitter took action on Wednesday by preventing users from sharing links to the story in tweets or direct messages.
Facebook also took action to limit the article’s spread but offered few details regarding those steps.
“While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook’s third-party fact checking partners. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform,” policy communications manager Andy Stone tweeted.
Facebook recently announced a policy on viral misinformation which says that "in many countries, including in the U.S., if we have signals that a piece of content is false, we temporarily reduce its distribution pending review by a third-party fact-checker."
It is unclear what “signals” triggered the limit on the Post article.
According to data from Crowdtangle, which is owned by Facebook, the link to the Post story has received more than 245,000 interactions on the platform despite Facebook's intervention.
It is unclear if Facebook will restrict the reach of articles that aggregate the Post story.

Yet here you are, Spametta.
What was the impression you got from those stories?
What Facebook and Twitter choose to do does not impost any blackout on the news itself. It is still available on many other sites including Facebook. I'm not on Twitter so I can't speak for it but I know it is on Facebook including the link to the original story.
Twitter and Facebook do not constitute "the media." Those are gossip sites.
Funny, I found all those links I sent you and those were just a few. As I said, there is still a link to the original Post story including 1.9k comments.
It was an anti-Trump meme.
