NyTi Headline: “Hunter Biden's Tangled Tale Comes Front and Center…”
Posted on 1/12/23 at 1:11 pm

Oh what a tangled web they weave: Hunter Biden himself is the ultimate victim here because he was “battling personal demons” while trading in on his father’s name.
If you don’t accept that explanation, you are a partisan hack and very likely a White Supremacist!
Hunter Biden’s Tangled Tale Comes Front and Center….
What emerges is the story of a man battling with personal demons against the background of family tragedy and under the glare of public scrutiny. It is an instructive look at the enduring Washington practice of trading on access and influence.
It is a case study of the challenges of dispensing justice to a supremely politically connected target. And it is a tale of how personal struggles can be weaponized in today’s hyperpartisan, take-no-prisoners political environment….

Now he's a fricking victim? This crackhead mother fricker barely let his dead brother's body turn cold before he moved in on his wife. He has video after video of him coked up messing with underage girls, hookers, etc. Are they really going to pin NO PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY on this douche bag? For Christ's sake.

Funny how this comes out on the SAME day DOJ announces SC investigation into Joe B regarding the documents. Coordinated attack. They don’t want Joe or Trump running in 2024.

Yeah, what a fricking joke the media is in this country. Completely controlled by the democratic party.
They're just a bunch of left wing activist pieces of shite.

Times: Its a little too late you MF medium.

What if Hunter left them in the garage and the office and forgot about them? There is precedent during those times.

This man approves of the New York Times and this story.....

The willful contortions, uninhibited prevarications, rabid dissembling and terminal spin on display in this piece make Hank & SFP look like paragons of forthrightness.
The Times tries to preemptively defend Joe Biden with Hunter opus….
Spin jobs don’t get much more nausea inducing than “Hunter Biden’s Tangled Tale Comes Front and Center,” The New York Times’ exhausting chronicle of Hunter’s influence peddling.
The upshot: Yes, drug addict Hunter profited off his father’s name and made deals in places the vice president had influence, like China and Ukraine. But Joe knew nothing about it! Trust us, we asked him. And if you can’t trust a Biden.
….The Times is writing this now only because Republicans took the House, and Joe Biden needs a pre-emptive defense. Investigations loom and must be discredited, and possible charges against Hunter Biden from the US attorney for Delaware need soft pedaling (he’s “closing in on a decision,” the story claims, something that has been promised for two years).
“The real Hunter Biden story is complex and very different in important ways from the narrative promoted by Republicans — but troubling in its own way,” The Times writes in the most Timesian sentence we’ve read so far this year.
Actually, it’s not that complicated. In fact, The Times lays it out in the next paragraph: “Hunter . . . forged business relationships that brought him millions of dollars, raised questions about whether he was cashing in on his family name [and] set off alarms among government officials about potential conflicts of interest.”
Ah, “raises questions.” How circumspect.
Ukrainian oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky offers Hunter a seat on the board of the gas giant Burisma after learning he’s the vice president’s son. “Despite criticism,” Hunter doesn’t want to give up the gig, “which was not particularly demanding of his time and continued to pay him handsomely — about $600,000 a year — even after he started smoking crack and stopped responding to emails.”
Hmm, sounds fishy. Were Burisma officials asking Hunter to help them with US government issues?
They were! But no fear, “to insulate Hunter Biden from the requests, a lawyer in private practice who had previously served as a top immigration official in the Obama administration was brought in to handle the matter.”
That sounds . . . unpersuasive. How does The Times know this? It doesn’t say. Was this always how it worked? We don’t know.
Frequently in the story, The Times “debunks” a claim simply by accepting Biden denials. On a trip to China, Hunter “briefly introduced” some of his business partners to his father. Nothing untoward!
Yes, some of Joe Biden’s bills were paid out of Hunter BIden’s bank account, “But according to Biden family members and business associates, Hunter and his father never had joint bank accounts or direct access to each others’ money.”
Oh, well, case closed. How could Joe Biden possibly know what he was up to?
The Times brings up Tony Bobulinski, Hunter’s former business partner, who says he directly met Joe Biden to talk about forming a Chinese investment fund after he left office. The Times say this is “claimed” but then answers a question not asked, “Family members say the elder Mr. Biden never met with Mr. Ye [a Chinese business leader] or other company executives.”
That’s not the accusation! He met with Bobulinski, who was supposed to work directly with Ye.
Clocking in at nearly 6,000 words, The Times opus adds little to the debate, painting the same portrait of a lovable scamp who just can’t help profiting off his political family….

Those guys certainly are earning their money.
Imagine how difficult a task it must be for the BB writers to compose parody headlines when the genuine headlines surrounding the Biden Admin increasingly seem to be satirical in nature?

In plain English, it all boils down to one thing,
If Hunter wasn’t delivering the goods the buyers wouldn’t have kept on paying the freight.
They weren’t repeatedly buying promises, Hunter was getting them business.

Evolution of the MSM’s reporting on Hunter’s Biden laptop:
….this is fake news.
….this is Russian disinformation.
….Shut Up White Supremacist!
….something happened but Joe Biden did not know.
….this is totally normal. <———We Are Here.

The media will tirelessly defend the Biden Family until Trump is no longer a danger to possess the White House. I give it 10-12 years before they finally start addressing it and make small admissions that “ we should have taken this more seriously “. But like the Kennedys, the press will never fully turn on the Bidens, and it’ll all be framed like it’s a Greek Tragedy or something.

Anyone still think the Democrats haven't gone full Nazi?
This level of propaganda is NOT what is normally seen in the free world.
