Joe Biden lied repeatedly when he claimed he knew nothing of his son Hunter’s influence-peddling businesses.
The president further prevaricated that he had no involvement in Hunter’s various shake-down schemes.
Yet, the media continued to misinform by serially ignoring these facts.
Had journalists just been honest and independent, then-candidate Joe Biden might have lost a presidential debate and even the 2020 election. The public would have learned that Hunter’s business associates and his laptop proved Joe was deeply involved in his son’s illicit businesses.
Later, as the evidence from IRS whistleblowers mounted, the White House stonewalled subpoenaed efforts and sought to craft an outrageous plea deal reduction in Hunter’s legal exposure.
Reporters ignored the Ukrainians who claimed Joe Biden himself talked to them about quid pro quo arrangements.
They again discounted Hunter’s laptop, explicitly demonstrating that Hunter was whining that he had handed over large percentages of his income to his father, Joe –variously referred to as the Big Guy and a “ten percent” recipient on many deals.
They played dumb about Joe Biden’s use of pseudonyms and alias email accounts to hide thousands of his communications to Hunter and associates.
They attacked the former Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who now claims Ukrainians likely bribed Biden.
Yet the media can no longer hide the reality that the president of the United States likely took bribes to influence or alter U.S. policy to suit his payers. Those two crimes — bribery and treason — are delineated explicitly in the Constitution as impeachable offenses.
In denial, the media has instead pivoted with hysterical glee over various weaponized prosecutions of former President Donald Trump.
But now, to use a progressive catchphrase, the proverbial “walls are closing in” on Joe Biden.
So will we at last expect the media to confront the truth?
Answer — only if Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical health continues to deteriorate geometrically to the point that he can no longer finish his term or run for reelection — and thus becomes expendable.
Such a cynical view of the media is justified, given their record of both incompetence and unapologetic deceit.
From 2015 to 2019, we were suffocated 24/7 with lies like “Russian collusion,” “Putin’s puppet,” “election rigging,” and the “Steele dossier.”
When all such “evidence” was proven to be a complete fraud cooked up through Hillary Clinton’s stealthy hiring of and collusion with a discredited ex-British spy, a Russian fabulist at the Brookings Institution, and a Clinton toady in Moscow, did the media apologize for their untruth?
Was there any media confessional that perhaps Robert Mueller and his leftwing legal team (the giddy media-dubbed “all-stars,” “dream team,” and “hunter-killers”) proved a colossal waste of time?
Not at all.
Instead, the media went next right on to “the phone call” and “impeachment.”
The country then wasted another year.
The same biased reporters now claimed that the heroic Andrew Vindman had caught Trump fabricating lies about the Bidens — given Joe Biden was a possible 2020 opponent — to force Ukraine to investigate them or lose American foreign aid.
On that accusation, Trump was impeached.
Then the truth emerged that, unlike Joe Biden, Trump never threatened to cancel aid but merely to delay it.
Trump was fitting that the Bidens were knee-deep in Ukrainian bribes and influence peddling.
And that the whistleblower had no first-hand knowledge of the Trump call but was spoon-fed a script cooked up by the gadfly Vindman and California Rep. Adam Schiff.
The result was journalistic glee that we impeached a president for crimes that he did not commit but exempted another president, Biden, who had likely committed them.
Then came the subsequent hoax of the Russian fabricated facsimile of Hunter’s laptop.
The 2020 Biden campaign and an ex-CIA head rounded up “51 intelligence authorities” to mislead the country into believing that Russian gremlins in the Kremlin had fabricated a fake laptop.
Ponder that absurd fantasy: Moscow supposedly had created fake nude pictures, fake photos of Hunter’s drug use, and fake email and text messages from Hunter to the other Bidens.
The media preposterously convinced the country that the Russians and, by extension, Trump had once again sandbagged the Biden campaign.
No apologies followed when the FBI later admitted it had kept the laptop under wraps for more than a year, knew it was authentic, and yet said nothing as the media and former spooks misled the country and warped an election.
Now we are enmeshed in at least four court trials on cooked-up charges that could as easily apply to a host of Democrats as to Trump.
For the last eight years, discredited media has never expressed remorse for any of the damage they did to the country. And they will not again when their latest mythological indictments are eventually exposed.
Well we should start now to acknowledge that the media is wholly owned by the state. They conduct themselves in a manner that would make the old Soviet Scribes blush. Going into prolonged full drama about Putin interfering with our elections. This country has been using their plunder to pick winners and losers all over the planet for 100 years. We will be learning Chinese in 10 years tops. It’s what we deserve.
That’s for sure. I wish I could make a contribution to the next election besides my ineffectual vote.
You can. Just be sure to adjust for windage.
They are not owned by the state. They are owned by The Party, and by that I mean the Democratic Party. They have, by their own hand, made themselves activist adjuncts of the Dems. They are garbage.
Indeed. They have become “National Enquirer” types – mountains of BS fed to gullible readers who don’t know (or refuse to know) any better.
Our media have been the equivalent of Pravda or Neues Deutschland. They are not controlled by the party, they voluntarily collude with the Democrats for whatever rewards that offers.
In Democrat minds there is no difference between the Party and the State, and resistance to the Party is treason.
Especially, it is owned by a tiny, wealthy, group of America haters who also own Wall Street and Hollywood in addition to all National media. By the way, they’ve also owned the Communist Party USA since their fathers invented it in their Bolshevik revolution against Russia in 1917.
V.D.H.,
Your article’s title and question is dumb.
No,
It’s what they deserve.
All,
I wonder, will Satan apologize to God for rebelling against Him?
It is not what We, the People deserve; it’s what our illegitimate rulers deserve. But history, going back to the Pharoh of the Exodus, shows that evil leaders make their subjects suffer along with them when they are brought down.
“ Ukrainians likely bribed Biden.”
The elephant is still in the room.
The instant Biden is installed as president there’s a war in Ukraine.
The war in Ukraine had nothing to do with Biden. Putin absolutely needed to stop potential European access to the undeveloped energy reserves in eastern Ukraine which if developed would cut off the need for Russian gas piped through to European nations that were/are reliant on Russian energy. Trump warned Germany of that in particular. Putin needed to act to secure eastern Ukraine that is why Russia invaded Ukraine.
“gadfly” Vindman and California Rep Adam Schiff-sounds like you’re describing two “fellows” in a Laurel and Hardy
comedy. i can think of a few different descriptions to describe these guys.
VDH your articles always hit home-please keep ’em coming!!!
Yes,
Home, but in a different ballpark.
The American Peoples trust in the M.S. Media is cashing and burning as more Americans turn away from the M.S. Media and turns to more reliable soures of News without Dan Blather and Tom Brokejaw
They are a dying business. There are maybe a dozen or so real journalists working today and none of them are employed by the msm.
They like pro sports are not in my life.
A key feature of Fascism is the unholy alliance of big government and big business, along with the media eschewing their role as the Fourth Estate and becoming a propaganda organ of the state and brainwashing the people.. And, in the Platonic Form of projection, the corrupt and treacherous Left accuse the Right of being Fascists, despite Conservative principles being the antithesis of the principles of Fascism.. we are living in an Orwellian nightmare.
Mussolini, a scholar of socialist political systems, was the first man to implement true fascism. He would have been proud of the US today. But then again, FDR called him a “fine fellow”, so he knew what would transpire here eventually.
You can fool some of the people all of the time,
And all of the people some of the time,
But you can’t fool all the people all of the time.
Cultural marxists and their woke followers have empowered themselves for a rude awakening.
WHEN? We keep saying that these bogons have overreached themselves, but the reckoning never comes.
People aren’t buying the spin and propaganda. Lose ratings because they are no longer credible.
The notorious New York Times has been caught faking the news NBC got in trouble back in 1993 over rigged explosion and Fire of a GM truck and the Reporter at the taping lied about it CBS has also lied about it on 60 Minutes and Sunday Morning and the NYT’s the leader of the Pack of Lies
