As evidence mounts that President Joe Biden took millions in bribe money from Ukrainian oligarchs when he was vice president as part of an elaborate influence-peddling scheme headed up by his son, Hunter Biden, let's check in on how the corporate press is handling what looks like the biggest political scandal in American history.
The document, called an FD-1023, details the reporting of a highly credible FBI informant who says the top executive of Ukrainian oil and gas firm Burisma told him he paid Joe and Hunter Biden $5 million each to protect the company from a corruption investigation.
As David Marcus noted on Twitter, "We are precipitously close to, 'Maybe Joe Biden did take money from Burisma, but here's why that's actually a good thing.'".
Asked Monday about the corruption allegations and the claims that Hunter put his father on speakerphone with foreign business associates when Biden was vice president, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden "Was never in business with his son."
To the extent they mention the story at all, it will be in the context of bashing Republican lawmakers for trying to "Dig up dirt" on Biden.
If the GOP-controlled House opens an impeachment proceeding, which is the only way we're ever going to get to the bottom of the Biden corruption scheme, the coverage will be about how Republican lawmakers are conducting a "Witch hunt" to get back at Democrats for impeaching Trump.
Everywhere, we'll hear the same line that CBS's "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan tossed to Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie recently, in reference to the outrageous plea deal offered to Hunter Biden for a couple of tax charges: "I wonder after this plea happens if you would advise your party to move on?".
