Another scandal erupted in the outgoing week around the Biden family. Hunter Biden and his uncle James are under investigation for tax evasion and money laundering.
After waiting a full month after the election, Hunter finally officially admitted that federal prosecutors were studying his business schemes and tax history. Obviously, the investigation did not start today – it has been going on for a long time.
Only now it has become possible to speak about it openly – both to the Biden themselves and to the liberal press. After all, the elections have already taken place, and the threat of losing votes has passed.
One of the few honest left-wing journalists Glenn Greenwald gives dozens of examples of how the media persistently called the scandals around Biden “a campaign of Russian disinformation”.
Two months have passed – and suddenly it turns out that Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia, and there was no misinformation, but there is a large federal investigation.
Pre-Election CNN: “Anatomy of Doubtful Rumors About Hunter Biden!”. Post-Election CNN: “Federal Attorneys Investigate Hunter Biden’s Business Schemes”. In the same miraculous way, the concept changed for Politico, MSNBC and other liberal dumpsters.
Back in October, at the height of the hysteria about “Russian influence”, in a fit of sincerity, the Washington Post explained its editorial policy: “We must view the leaks about Hunter as a foreign intelligence operation – even if they are not”.
It is clear why they needed such self-censorship – in order to drag Biden to the White House by any means. And it really worked: according to one poll, 16% of Biden’s voters would not support him if they knew about the investigation into his family.
