Suddenly, the Media Becomes Scandal Deniers


By Tim Graham


The media excoriate "election deniers," but when it comes to the Bidens, they sound like scandal deniers. Suddenly, the cheerleaders and champions of live prime-time hearings of the Pelosi-picked Jan. 6 panel are scolding Republicans that they shouldn't waste everyone's time and money with hearings on Biden scandals.
Four years ago, Axios was touting "Democratic hit list: At least 85 Trump investigation targets." Politico ran a piece titled "How to Flood the Trump Administration With Investigations."
Now, Axios is warning "Biden-district Republicans brush off impeachment talk." Politico is also putting on the brakes: "The latest victim from House GOP's election night: impeachment."
Forget the revenge impeachments. How about simple hearings? The Associated Press put out a story with the headline "House GOP pushes Hunter Biden probe despite thin majority."
Does anyone remember a story headlined "House Democrats push January 6 probe despite thin majority"? Democrats are always justified, according to their Associated Publicists.
AP reporter Colleen Long lined up Democrats and nervous Republicans to sound alarms that the GOP is destined to overdo this oversight thing.
Legal analyst Jonathan Turley underlined this line from AP: "Joe Biden has said he's never spoken to his son about his foreign business, and nothing the Republicans have put forth suggests otherwise." Doesn't that sound like angry Democrats beating their keyboards?
The AP later revised that line: "Joe Biden has said he's never spoken to his son about his foreign business, and there are no indications that the federal investigation involves the president." Ahem — the charge is Hunter used his father's influence to rake the bucks. That involves the president.
The AP describes itself as "an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting." Wrong. They're a Democrat-dependent organization dedicated to left-wing editorializing.
Biden's claim that "I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings" is preposterous. Hunter's laptop proved that Joe Biden lies, repeatedly. There are emails and photos demonstrating coordination between Hunter, Joe and Hunter's clients. It's like Donald Trump saying he never met Stormy Daniels when everyone could see the hip-to-hip photographs.
Those so-called ornery cynics in the press couldn't be bothered to discuss the prospect of Vice President Biden flying to China with his son on Air Force 2 without discussing Hunter's planned business dealings on the trip.
An audiotape surfaced where Joe called Hunter on the phone about a December 2018 story in The New York Times on Hunter's dealings in China: "Hey pal, it's Dad. It's 8:15 on Wednesday night. If you get a chance just give me a call. Nothing urgent. I just wanted to talk to you. I thought the article released online, it's going to be printed tomorrow in the Times, was good. I think you're clear."
When White House reporters Peter Doocy and Philip Wegmann asked questions about this to press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, no one else cared enough to follow up. Time for a nap?
This underlines the greatest lie of the leftist press. When Republicans are in the White House, they insist it's their eternally solemn and noble duty to "hold them accountable" with energetic scandal stories. They don't wait for congressional Democrats to pounce. They do their own pouncing — or they coordinate it with Democrats, thinly disguised as anonymous "senior officials."
But when Democrats are in the White House, journalists seem more eager to scold the Republicans for wasting everyone's time and demand we all forget about accountability. The media's solemn and noble duty suddenly becomes building a defensive perimeter around the White House instead of investigating it. They don't do the people's business. They do the Democratic Party's business.

I think he did and the swamp was his intelligence. All that's left is ego connected to mouth.

Private Bucklin: I'm tired, Colonel. I've had all of this army and all of these officers, this damned Hooker, this damned idiot Meade, all of them, the whole bloody lousy rotten mess of sick-brained, pot-bellied scabheads that ain't fit to lead a johnny detail, ain't fit to pour pee out of a boot with instructions written on the heel.

Oh look the California Communist Party not only passes a law making dissent and 2nd opinions illegal. Democrats and left wingers release thousands of pedophiles back into society without so much as a slap on the wrist.

It's frightening for society.' Thousands of convicted pedophiles in California are being released from prison in less than a year for horrific acts, including rape, sodomy and sexual abuse of kids under 14.

Stranger still is why Fulton County Georgia election officials even granted Walker permission to run for election in the State of Georgia in the first place.

Betchya it’s another nothing burger, another mountain out of a mole hill. IMO the worst that could happen, if true, is Walker would have to repay the State of Texas next time he files.

Yes I did, granted it may seem they’re a little slow on the uptake. Because CNN first reported Left wing Democrat loons in California releasing pedophiles and pervs back in 2020.
