The mainstream media has devolved into a bloated enterprise that simply copies the work of conservative outlets and publishes it two years later. We saw that with the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, where The New York Post was censored and maligned by outlets like The Washington Post only for those entities to “confirm” the Post’s reporting when it no longer mattered.
That dynamic has played out again, this time on CNN, with the liberal network doing a full report on the corruption surrounding the Biden family.
The president’s brothers have invoked it in their private business pursuits over the years to suggest access to power and influence, according to a CNN review of court documents, emails and video recordings as well as interviews with former business acquaintances.
A year after Biden was elected, for example, his youngest brother, Frank, boasted in a speech to medical professionals gathered in Boston of the “bully pulpit” he was afforded due to “my brother Joey,” and vowed to help attendees “get federal dollars.” Just three months ago, Frank Biden was an invited keynote speaker at a medical conference in Venice, Italy, where he gave advice to a group lobbying the federal government – a trip he acknowledged he did not pay for but declined to say who did.
Biden’s son, Hunter, meanwhile, has bluntly acknowledged in a memoir that his last name was a “coveted credential” helping him land a lucrative and controversial gig as a board member for a Ukrainian energy company when Joe Biden was vice president. That company, Burisma, “considered my last name gold,” Hunter Biden wrote.
