Not that the progressive media will admit it.
It’s an art form, biased journalism. Case in point was Wolf Blitzer on CNN Friday evening 08-11-23. The attorney general finally named a special counsel in l’affaire Hunter Biden — and held a press conference to announce it. Here, all this time, the hoi polloi were told the rascal was a private citizen and that the Big Guy was not in business with him.
Wolfie buried that lede. Trump, of course, led the hour. When the anchor got around to the story 26 minutes into the cablecast, he tainted with verbal air quotes a brief mention of the two “IRS ‘Whistleblowers,’ as they’re called.”
“As they are called.” No such snarky asterisks for Mark Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson after she testified before the January 6 special committee. (Do not ask for whom the whistle blows, Wolfie, it blows for thee.)
Blitzer’s panel of “experts” agreed that you just can’t please those Republicans. Play a tape way back when of Jim Jordan demanding a special prosecutor. Now look here what he is saying today: He doesn’t trust the special prosecutor. These people are against everything, agreed CNN house Republican George Conway.
Um, maybe Jim Jordon doesn’t trust this particular special prosecutor since he tried to slip a sweetheart plea deal under the nostrils of a Delaware judge having none of it. MSNBC was worse. Joy Reid found someone to say the only special treatment Hunter is getting is more scrutiny because of his relationship.
The New York Times is also following the script:
Congressional Republicans have for months repeatedly written to Attorney General Merrick B. Garland demanding he appoint a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden, the president’s son, over his business dealings. … But on Friday, after Mr. Garland elevated Mr. Weiss to special counsel status, Republicans in Congress reacted publicly not with triumph, but with outrage.
— New York Times
Blaska’s Bottom Line thinks National Review has it right: “If a special counsel is necessary now, it was necessary two and half years ago, and the regulations stipulate that it should be someone outside of government, not the very prosecutor who has become a symbol of the government’s conflicted conduct of the investigation.”

Growing up during the Vietnam War Era I believe everything our Government tells us because our Government never lies to us.

Right on. :). Brings back memories of Country Joe and the Fish.
A special counsel is supposed to come from OUTSIDE the government.

The fix is on. Hunter will not be charged and will walk. Political privilege is in play, this has become the biggest threat to democracy and to equal Justice.

Again, double standards. Nothing new. Crooked DOJ, FBI, IRS………
Definitely sensing Trump won’t be the nominee and also sensing A Aron will be 2nd string QB for the Jets. /s
And a big no shit sherlock on Biden. The man has already retired. Just needs a metal detector for the beach and he’s all set.
I’m sure everyone that howled to see President Trump’s tax returns are as anxious to see Hunter’s.
Hello? No one?
Tell us why not.
