Political Scandals

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart may have got more than he bargained for on Friday’s PBS NewsHour as he took great offense to colleague and contributor Gary Abernathy’s assessment that the Department of Justice cannot continue to indict former President Donald Trump while giving “a sweetheart deal” to Hunter Biden and expect to be taken seriously. Later,…

With the Thursday news that former President Trump now faces an additional charge of obstruction of justice related the deletion of security camera footage, the cast of MSNBC’s The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle managed to completely miss the point as they basked in the news that Trump is now charged with the very thing he condemned Hillary Clinton for.

It didn’t take long for CBS & NBC to move on from the collapse of President Joe Biden’s criminal son Hunter’s plea deal. In fact, just 24 hours after all three networks led their respective evening newscasts with the news, only ABC’s World News Tonight stuck with the story and kept their viewers in the loop about the new revelations. Including what was actually in the plea…

On Wednesday after the shocking collapse of Hunter Biden’s plea deal, there were a few White House reporters who grilled Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in her abbreviated turn at the podium (due to her use of John Kirby as her crutch for nearly 35 of the almost 58-minute briefing) on the events in Delaware as well as ongoing questions about Biden family corruption.

On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, race-baiting Reverend Al Sharpton came up with an excessively belligerent and hateful reason for why Democrat prosecutions of former President Donald Trump were not affecting his support among voters in the Republican primary.

Sharpton argued that the reason why all these indictments brought by Trump’s political enemies right before the election,…

To paraphrase the Soup Nazi in Seinfeld: No plea deal for you! Sorry, Hunter! That was the end result of a tumultuous day in a Wilmington courtroom Wednesday where President Joe Biden’s criminal drug addict son Hunter Biden was stripped of his plea deal and forced to plead not guilty to tax fraud charges. On Wednesday evening, the big three evening news broadcasts had the sads over Hunter’s…

Ahead of what was supposed to be Hunter Biden’s Wednesday morning court appearance to plead guilty to tax charges and instead turned into a not guilty plea due to a stunning breakdown between the legal teams and the judge, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today were in full spin mode for the Biden family and the Biden 2024 campaign and thus engaging in election…

Before Hunter Biden’s plea deal fell apart on Wednesday, MSNBC’s Ana Cabrera and political chameleon Kurt Bardella offered up what their big takeaway from all of the drama surrounding him: Republicans are hypocrites.

The revolving door between CNN and the White House was spinning at great speeds on Tuesday’s edition of The Source with Kaitlan Collins as former communications director turned talking head Kate Bedingfield claimed that Democrats have “a really response” to the Biden-Burisma allegations. Unfortunately for CNN and Bedingfield, her main argument relied on some fake news.

Between Monday and Tuesday, four new Biden family scandals emerged, ranging from Hunter Biden’s artwork to business dealings inside Delaware to conflicts of interest in his tax probe to a former ally finally agreeing to spill the beans to a House committee about the Biden family’s ties to Burisma. If course, none of these scandals made it on the flagship morning and evening newscasts of ABC,…

You would never hear CBS's Margaret Brennan demand Democrats move on from an old Trump scandal. Yet on Sunday's Face the Nation, Brennan badgered former New Jersey governor and Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie for his party to move on from their investigation into how Hunter Biden was given a plea deal on tax fraud and gun application fraud charges. Christie quickly…

There is “the owner of natural gas company Burisma Holdings” bluntly telling an FBI informant that while Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden and son Hunter were paid $5 million - each - in a $10 million bribery scheme. That is one decided blockbuster of a news story. And The New York Times, The Washington Post and the networks skipped it.

Unlike many of his colleagues, MSNBC's Ali Velshi actually managed to acknowledge the existence of the recent House Oversight Committee hearing on two IRS whistleblowers alleging misconduct during the Hunter Biden investigation on his Saturday show, but only to dismiss them and other allegations related to the Biden family as “stunts and conspiracies.”

On Thursday, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC kept their viewers in the dark on a major storyline of the 2024 presidential election as Senator Chuck Grassley’s (R-IA) office released a rumored form from an FBI confidential source alleging the Biden family coerced the Burisma CEO to shovel them millions if then-Vice President Biden could have Ukraine’s top prosecutor fired (which he did).…
