NYT’s Friedman: Media Should ‘Absolutely’ Pursue Hunter Biden Story

Trent Baker 29 Jul 2022

On Friday, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman emphasized the importance of the mainstream media investigating Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings after his recovered laptop has reportedly shown some connections to his father, President Joe Biden.

With concerns over foreign influence being peddled to President Biden, Friedman told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that he was “all for getting to the truth wherever it leads.”

“Squawk Box” host Joe Kernen asked Friedman, “In your view, would you say there’s been a reluctance for major media outlets to pursue that story and is that OK, do you think? …Do you feel it’s important that we follow the evidence here to see where it all leads, whether the president’s son benefitted from influence peddling or whether even the president himself may have benefitted, President Biden himself, from influence peddling? Is it a story?

“Absolutely,” Friedman replied.

“You pursue these stories unto their innermost parts,” he added. “I know The New York Times felt it didn’t pursue it originally as much as it wanted to; then it followed up, as I recall. I’m not an expert on the story, but, yeah, I’m all for getting to the truth wherever it leads.”

What he really means is:  they should engage in an active campaign of misdirection and misinformation, leading to pre-conceived conclusions (nothing to see here) so that, when the GOP gets around to a Congressional investigation, the DNC can say "old news, already investigated, nothing happened."

Well, it's the NYT and Thomas Friedman.....

Exactly.

Of course, on the other hand, if they have decided that they will have to "remove" Biden because, for example, he has already made it clear that he will not voluntarily resign, then perhaps this is the start of laying the groundwork for an impeachment or a 25th Amendment proceeding.

If I were in charge of the Republican Caucuses I'd have all the Pubbies voting to acquit an Impeachment and vote down any attempts to use the 25th Amendment.

Let the Rats twist in the wind.  It's not like anything's going to change if he's incapacitated anyway because he already is that today.

Yep.

But if the media anted a 'blow the front page off the fishwrap' story, they'd hit this with the vigour they exhibited during Watergate.

But they aren't journalists any more, they are parrots for the regime.

Just one disagreement, I don't think they were journalists as far back as Watergate. I think they were already well on their way to being a propaganda arm of the democrats even then.
