Suddenly, liberal media aren’t so keen to blare whistleblower charges

Boy, have whistleblowers fallen from favor at institutions like The New York Times.
Back in the Trump era, their accusations were front-page news. Now they’re lucky to make page 15: That’s where the paper (exactly like The Washington Post) put its account of the jaw-dropping latest dirt from the IRS agents charging gross political interference in the Hunter Biden investigation.
The Times’ account (even online, where space is unlimited) was rather spotty, too: No mention of the info suggesting Attorney General Merrick Garland seems to have perjured, himself, for example.
Instead, the paper focused near-exclusively on that (admittedly shocking) WhatsApp message Hunter allegedly sent, threatening his Chinese partners with Joe’s vengeance (“he’s sitting right next to me”) if they don’t pay up.
By pure coincidence, we’re sure, that particular bombshell is easy enough to wave off as (if true!) nothing but bluster from the then-drug-addled First Son.
Still, it’s a huge contrast to how most of the media played the whistleblower charges that led to the first Donald Trump impeachment, over the then-prez’s bullying call to Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky.
