On June 10, CNN weekend host Michael Smerconish spoke unlike the rest of CNN on the Hunter Biden probe. “It's inexcusable that such an uncomplicated case is still unresolved. And it's true that legacy media show zero appetite to pursue questions about possible financial entanglements between Hunter and the President.”
CNN legal analyst Elle Honig, no Trump fan, slammed the Justice Department on the Hunter Biden probe. “This is preposterous,” he said. “This has been pending, according to our reporting at CNN, since 2018, five years,” all about some tax questions and whether Hunter lied on a gun form. “I mean, that's a five-week investigation."
The PBS Friday night journalist roundtable show Washington Week sounded like State-Run TV as guest host Laura Barron-Lopez touted the “revealing and damning” Trump indictment by Biden’s Justice Department. It was the only topic for the half-hour. She methodically repeated the White House spin on the Justice Department's independence as her own take.
The Democrat and their media bosom buddies never seem to face the bizarre scenario they are pushing for 2024 -- that Donald Trump is a horrible tyrant and threat to democracy who they can't wait to crown as the Republican nominee. Washington Post columnst Jonathan Capehart admitted "I think Democrats are still champing at the bit to run against Donald Trump again."
Ex-PBS NewsHour anchor Judy Woodruff produced an 11-minute report on a professor seeking to "depolarize" our political debates, and they talked about the harmful effects of divisive cable news. As if PBS isn't partisan or divisive or polarizing in its approach to Republicans?
On Wednesday's World News Tonight, ABC reporter Terry Moran reveled in a leaked Tucker Carlson text message about a mob of white men beating up an "antifa kid." He claimed "For years...Tucker Carlson promoted racist views on his show, the highest- rated program on Fox...viewers had long heard Carlson give voice to a message of white supremacy, especially on the issue of immigration."
On Thursday's CNN This Morning, White House reporter Arlette Saenz made excuses for President Biden having the gist of a question in advance for his press conference. Well, the question wasn't "identical" to the note card! And "these types of moments are things that Republicans have seized on especially as they have tried to highlight President Biden's age."
CBS reporters never mentioned Ray Epps once until Sunday's 60 Minutes, as they told a tale of right-wing conspiracy theorists like Tucker Carlson ruining his life by accusing him of being an informant for the feds urging people to enter the Capitol on January 6.
