Those not around for the Clinton era probably were never told that the media closed ranks and went out of their way to ignore the Monica Lewinsky story or any other story that was negative towards the Clintons.

What put Drudge on the map was that he practically single-handedly broke the embargo and got the story out. So much so that the media at the time was chagrined and started running with it - but still trying to downplay what had happened as a nothing burger. (They even started a PAC called “MoveOn.org” which lives on to this day - to “move on” from the Lewinsky story)

That they defend Biden like this, as he single handedly destroys America, doesn’t surprise me at all.

As I recall, ‘The National Enquirer’ first broke the story regarding Anklepants and Monica but thanks to it’s ‘reputation’, everyone simply ignored it.

And remember how the media reacted when Breitbart broke the story of Anthony Weiner and his sexcapades? The media twisted themselves into knots to cover for Weiner and tried to destroy Andrew...until it became so obvious what a weenie Weiner was that the media could not longer cover.

Very good point. Starting in 1978 the media downplayed Pope John Paul II’s events which always had one or two million fans. Big crowds in big cities around the world were ignored by US Media and sadly, prevented a lot of people from growing spiritually. In 1917 Our Lady talked about how the Errors of Russia would be exported if people did not admit mistakes and say the rosary. Well, the Errors of Russia are here: the press is not using its power to embarrass vicious leaders and is using its power to embarrass ethical leaders.
