NewsBusters Podcast: Don't Say Joe Biden Lied About Pardoning His Kid!

After months of Biden and his press aides denying the president would pardon his son Hunter, when he went back on his word, the media didn’t want to say he “lied.” It was an “about face” or “a reversal from promises he made during the campaign.” They played up the “very close” family ties and proclaimed it a “poignant” moment. Managing editor Curtis Houck talks about what he found on CNN.

Politico's head of news, Alexander Burns, is frustrated with Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter, not due to ethical concerns but because it complicates criticism of Donald Trump's controversial appointments.

ABC Defends Joe Biden Pardoning ‘Only Living Son’ Hunter to Stop Trump

Unsurprisingly, ABC’s Good Morning America stood out among the broadcast networks on Monday as the most pro-Biden family in covering President Joe Biden’s blanket pardon of son Hunter, arguing the act to save “his only living son” was done to save him from a politicized Trump Justice Department and put to rest claims of Biden family “corruption” that were hurled “without evidence.”…

NPR/NYT: 'Disillusioned' by Trump, 'Black Women Are Deciding to Rest'

Wokeness may be heading for a long winters’ nap, if recent New York Times and National Public Radio stories are to be believed, regarding how liberal black women are dealing with Donald Trump’s re-election (in summary: not well, especially if they work in the electorally and intellectually discredited field of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion -- DEI for short). The November…

Shameless Scarborough Buries Biden Pardon 52 Minutes Deep

The incontrovertible top story of the day is Joe Biden's pardoning of his son Hunter, and the president having repeatedly lied in promising not to do so. But Joe Scarborough doesn't describe the pardon as even one of the day's two top stories.  Instead, he buries it 51 minutes into Morning Joe. And even when the show finally gets around to the subject, the gutless Scarborough doesn't express…
