Hunter Biden is a gift late-night comedians refuse to open.
The bedraggled First Son’s life could fuel endless monologues. Consider the accusations lobbed against him in recent years:
- Addiction
- Sex trafficking
- Tax evasion
- Funneling millions to “The Big Guy”
Heck, he even allegedly peddled poop paintings to balance his wobbly budget. What more could late-night satirists want?
Had the 50-something Biden had an “R” next to his name Colbert and co. would spend countless hours mocking him.
Instead, they mostly ignore him … except when they’re excusing his pappy’s pardon that covered far more than the crimes he’s accused of committing.
Stephen Colbert and his audience celebrate Joe Biden pardoning Hunter Biden.

“One family opened their gifts a little early this year, because yesterday Joe Biden gave a full pardon to his son, Hunter. You go, Joe.”

Enter New Media.
Comedian Remy uncorked a funny song parody tied to President Joe Biden’s ill-received pardon for his troubled son.
Sung to the tune of Sheryl Crow’s “Soak Up the Son,” “Pardon My Son” blends quirky laughs with real elements of the Hunter Biden saga.
This isn’t the only case of new media platforms doing the job “Saturday Night Live” and friends won’t.
Comedian Kyle Dunnigan has been torching Hunter Biden for some time. The comic is neither conservative nor liberal, but he uses his video perch to mock the powerful and poke fun at both parties.
Michael Loftus and the folks at “That Show Tonight” also have satirical fun at Hunter Biden’s expense.
It’s why late-night institutions no longer hold sway over the American public – even The Hollywood Reporter is mocking their hard-Left propaganda.
Corporate media outlets like CNN and MSNBC are struggling to survive amidst cratering ratings.
The former can’t find much funny to say about the First Son. The latter have done all they could to ignore and downplay the allegations against him.
Remember how NPR refused to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story initially? It’s hard to forget.
New media platforms happily tell the jokes and break the stories, that their mainstream peers won’t.
