Matt Taibbi, formerly of Rolling Stone, had a lengthy post about the liberal media's absurd defense of Joe Biden and the lengths they'll go to give this man and his former crack addict son political cover.
The liberal media alluded to all this stuff with Burisma years before Biden and Trump ever met on a debate stage.
Taibbi started out by noting how Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept, the publication he co-founded to be a safe haven for whistleblowers and a means to push back against corporatist media, forced him out of his own outfit over his work that scrutinized Joe Biden and his son's dealings.
Greenwald, the man who won a Pulitzer for his story on the NSA, Snowden, and the metadata mining, needed to consult with two former New York Times reporters, Robert Mackey and Jim Risen, who had already trashed the Hunter Biden laptop story.
In December of 2015, Vice President Joe Biden traveled to Ukraine and informed then-president Petro Poroshenko that a billion dollars in American aid would be withheld from the country unless it fired Prosecutor General Viktor Shokhin.
The right-leaning press often portrays Shokhin as an honest broker whom Joe Biden was determined to stop because he, Shokhin, was taking an Eliot Ness-style run at corruption in Hunter Biden's company.
Biden-friendly media dutifully repeats the line Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates fed everyone during 2019-2020, that Shokhin was corrupt and that all cases involving Burisma were "Dormant" by the time Biden made his request, presumably because Shokhin had squashed them.
