President Joe Biden, who the liberal media told us was a man of decency fighting for the soul of America, finally admitted that he had seven and not six grandkids after he had to be (figuratively) dragged kicking and screaming to acknowledge his 4-year-old granddaughter Navy Joan Roberts, who his son Hunter Biden fathered out of wedlock. When it came to the broadcast networks covering this embarrassing Friday evening news dumb, ABC’s World News Tonight and CBS Evening News were still ignoring the child.
Biden’s reluctant acknowledgment of Navy came in the form of an exclusive statement to PEOPLE magazine.
Instead of covering Biden’s long-delayed admission of having seven grandkids, ABC hyped a crane collapse in Maryland despite no injuries. And over on CBS, they kept their airwaves clean for Biden by highlighting an elderly man trying to find a new home for his collection of antique and vintage washing machines.
NBC Nightly News was the only member of the “Big Three” to allow airtime. And funny enough, it came as a follow-up to their story about how a majority of Americans have concerns about the advanced age of some of their political leaders and political candidates (including Biden).
“For the first time tonight, President Biden is publicly acknowledging his 4-year-old granddaughter Navy Joan, the child of his son Hunter Biden and an Arkansas woman out of wedlock,” chief White House correspondent Peter Alexander reported.
Although, he did seem to attempt to spin Biden’s late admission as a way to put Republicans in their place:
Republicans have criticized the President for not acknowledging a seventh grandchild, but in a statement late tonight President Biden says it is “not a political issue, it's a family matter.” He adds he and the first lady “want what is best for all of their grandchildren including Navy.”
Over on Fox News Channel’s Special Report, White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich noted that the Biden administration had, up until Friday, strict rules for staff when speaking about the President’s family.
“This is significant because the President to date has referred to only his six grandchildren. There was reporting that aides were told that the President and First Lady had six grandchildren, not seven,” Heinrich said.
It’s not surprising that ABC and CBS would ignore embarrassing developments with the Biden clan. In 2021, they skipped Biden’s cruel stocking stunt where they made a show out of hanging up only six stockings above a White House fireplace.
The bias by omission of Biden finally acknowledging his seventh grandchild was made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from Ensure on ABC and Liberty Mutual on CBS. Their contact information is linked.
