On Mar. 20, The Blaze cited Erin Burnett’s statement three days earlier on CNN regarding information released by the House Oversight Committee on the Biden family’s recent financial history. To quote her exactly: “There’s a guy whose name is John Robinson, he gets 3 million dollars from a Chinese based company and proceeds to wire it out to a bunch of people named Biden … One of whom is Hunter Biden, another one is a company that belongs to the president’s brother, James Biden, and another amount of money to Beau Biden’s widow, Hallie.” The 1.3 million dollars ultimately dispatched was meted out two months after Joe left office as Vice President, though clearly “earned” while he was still in power. Burnett’s rather understated conclusion was that it “doesn’t look good” for the Bidens.
The expertise Hunter Biden had to offer his business connections in both China and the Ukraine was questionable to say the least. It hardly seems an outlandish conspiracy theory to suggest he was valued by those connections for the access he provided to the second most powerful man in America. Knowing full well that peddling his influence in return for money was a violation of his role as Vice President, Joe denied having anything to do with Hunter’s business dealings. E Mail evidence indicates he was lying.
The various “conservative” sites to which I subscribe have been discussing Biden family corruption for years now, yet the mainstream media has generally dismissed that narrative as just more right wing fanaticism. But confronted with declining ratings, the demotion of such formerly revered figures as Don Lemon and Brian Stelter, and the widespread skepticism of many North Americans towards a press that is pervasively ideological as opposed to truthful, those still employed by networks such as CNN seem to be trying to create an impression of objectivity.
But really, how morally indignant is Burnett’s comment that it “doesn’t look good” for the Bidens? Imagine if the family in question was named Trump! The last few years, I guarantee, would have been filled with rants from the mainstream press calling for the prosecution and/or impeachment of that vile, lying, money grubbing monster, Donal Trump! I am hardly defending the moral character of the latter, but is the issue for which he is presently being prosecuted anywhere near as serious a violation of his political responsibilities as the seeming corruption of Joe Biden? To those who would suggest I am engaged in an utterly unwarranted act of character assassination, I would point out, as I have done before, that in 1988 Walter Cronkite declared Joe Biden’s political career to be over as he was a compulsive liar who had been found guilty of several brazen acts of plagiarism!
When I suggest I would always vote for Trump over Biden based on his policies, my “progressive” acquaintances shake their heads in disbelief. Their absolute inability to have a rational discussion of anything involving Trump is a product of the utterly biased vision of reality spewed by a News Media that for years now has been little more than a perpetrator of Leftist propaganda! The truly sad aspect of this betrayal is that the Guilty are fully convinced they have been doing God’s work. The reality, however, is that rather than enhancing honest political discourse, they have been poisoning it!
