Hunter Biden

The nation’s most self-impressed journalists, the ones who strangely self-identify as “mainstream,” could not bring themselves to treat the Hunter Biden trial as comparable in any way to Donald Trump’s trial in Manhattan. Treating Hunter as a significant “news” subject gives them the creeps, like they’ve been drafted into Rupert Murdoch’s army.

Hunter Biden’s conviction on federal gun charges set the Regime Media into a firefighting frenzy with the aim of Protecting the Precious- in other words, ensuring that President Joe Biden faces as little political damage as possible over the verdict, and safeguarding the post-conviction narrative.

For months, the liberal media have praised President Biden as a supposed pillar of the rule of law and touted his promise that he would accept any verdict in his son Hunter’s felony gun crime trial. But following the three guilty verdicts on Tuesday, ABC News seemed to prime their audience to expect him to intercede with the full powers of the presidency. The network also pouted about the…

When the news came down on Tuesday that Hunter Biden had been found guilty of the gun-related charges against him, the cast of Jose Diaz-Balart Reports only did what comes naturally to MSNBC: hype his father as the “embodiment of the rule of law” and promote his re-election campaign.

A Media Research Center analysis shows the networks have done their best to keep their coverage of Hunter Biden's criminal trial to a minimum, avoiding any discussion of the more serious legal allegations surrounding Hunter’s business dealings. ABC, CBS and NBC have also shown consistent sympathy towards an obviously dysfunctional First Family.

"There is an old trial lawyers’ saying 'When the facts are on your side, pound the facts. When the law is on your side, pound the law. When neither is on you side, pound the table.'”  -- Patrick Buchanan, 1975. When it came to making the case for Hunter Biden, Mika Brzezinski has managed to devise an alternative to pounding the table when the facts and the law are against you. On today's…

When Washington Post associate editor and MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks recapped former President Donald Trump’s conviction on PBS NewsHour one week ago, they hailed it as a victory for the rule of law and warned that anyone who dissented was simply being political and a grave threat to institutions. When it came to discussing…

As Hunter Biden is tried on gun charges in Delaware, Geoffrey Dickens joins the show to remind us how scoops about the Bidens (Joe, Hunter, Uncle Jim) in the New York Post and Politico are persistently ignored by ABC, CBS, and NBC.

On MSNBC's Way Too Early, political analyst Molly Jong-Fast says that only "low-information voters" would let a conviction of Hunter Biden on gun charges impact their vote. She also claims that the evidence that Hunter lied on his application for a gun license in denying being a drug user is "convoluted," despite the fact that there is overwhelming evidence based on his…

Aside from a zero Thursday on ABC’s Good Morning America, the “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC have had segments on every newscast this week about Hunter Biden’s gun trial, but like we’ve seen, the flavor skewed heavily toward seeking sympathy for the First Son as he’s had to endure “dramatic”, “heartbreaking”, and “painful” details about his life being made public.

On Wednesday, The Lead with Jake Tapper tried to argue that Hunter Biden held no liability for lying on his federal Firearm Transaction Record form because of how far “gone” on drugs he allegedly was when he bought his gun in 2018.

This blog post criticizes Politico for denying its role in promoting the discredited theory that the Hunter Biden laptop scandal was Russian misinformation during the 2020 election. The post suggests that in recent coverage of the Hunter Biden trial, Politico attempted to distance itself from its previous stance, which it claims contributed to social media suppression of the scandal. The blog…

ABC’s Good Morning America bid farewell Thursday to the first Hunter Biden trial (at least for now) with zero mentions during their news show ahead of what would be a critical day of testimony for the prosecution by Hunter’s former love/late brother Beau’s widow Hallie Biden. CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today, in contrast, still had full stories with the latter even conceding Biden’s only hope to…

The networks appear to have filled their allotted Biden family scandal with continued coverage of the Hunter Biden federal trial on gun charges, leaving them with no room for the criminal referral to the Department of Justice filed by several House committees against both Hunter and Uncle Jimmy, for lying to Congress.
