Joe and Hunter Biden / PHOTO: AP ( Deroy Murdock , Headline USA ) Where is media bias when we need it?
In the 1980s, when the phrase “media bias” grew popular, conservatives complained that such liberals as ABC’s Sam Donaldson would report on a Reagan Administration reform and then find a sweet old lady to cry about it on camera.
She would weep that if President Ronald Reagan got his way, she and her pet feline would wrestle nightly for first dibs to the Purina Cat Chow.
While the liberal media twisted stories their way, at least they told audiences the underlying news. Journalists informed Americans first and spun them second.
Oh, how far from that low standard we have tumbled.
These days, the leftist, old-guard media craft their evil far more insidiously: They studiously ignore big stories. Even worse, they concoct narratives from scratch, just as Guglielmo Marconi invented radio.
In a current, molar-grinding example of the first category, the major TV networks entombed the so-called Paper of Record’s March 16 concession that Hunter Biden’s laptop is genuine .
Moreover, the Old Gray Lady independently verified Biden’s highly incriminating files.Big news!But this was a nullity at the networks. As of Tuesday, the watchdogs at the Media Research Center report, here is how long they covered two facts:First, that abandoned laptop belongs to the son of the President of the United States.Second, that laptop chronicles a parade of personal failings and a panoply of public scandals through which Hunter gathered—by author and investigative journalist Peter Schweizer’s estimate— $40 million from sketchy Chinese, Russian and Ukrainian interests. ABC: Zero seconds CBS: Zero seconds NBC: Zero seconds CNN: Zero seconds MSNBC: Two secondsSix days after this revelation, these five major networks had contemplated the First Son’s suspected grift for a combined two seconds .

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
