Media: Ignore Biden corruption but shed a tear for Hunter’s drug woes
By Eddie Scarry
June 28, 2023 6:03amAfter a high-level IRS agent blew the whistle on the Justice Department’s attempts to protect Hunter Biden, and by extension, his presidential daddy, the media — taking a tip from President Joe Biden himself — quickly got to work trying to convince the public the real story isn’t the blatant corruption but that Hunter is a tragic drug addict and his father still loves him anyway.
Aww!
Sorry, but the fact that Hunter is an admitted cokehead and prostitute hound is just a salacious side story; the obviously more urgent matter is that he, using his father’s high-government connections, raked in money by doing favors for foreign actors.
And that instead of any serious prosecution to see if he broke the law, DOJ gave him a junk plea deal wherein Hunter gets probation and must pinky promise to stay sober and never buy another gun.
It’s one of the biggest scandals of recent years, yet ignore it all: Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times writes that the “main takeaway” is that the president offers the country “a fine model of the love and support that people with addictions need.”
That echoed the news write-up his paper did last week, drumming up sympathy for Hunter by noting that the IRS’s investigation “focused on a particularly chaotic and unseemly period in Hunter Biden’s life when he was addicted to crack cocaine.”
Poor thing.
