Joe Biden is the most cosseted presidential candidate in memory.
He has run a minimalist campaign that has avoided the press as much as possible, while the press hasn’t been braying for more access and answers, but eager to avoid anything that could be discomfiting to the campaign.
Never before have the media been so openly fearful of asking or reporting something that might hurt a presidential candidate. What are supposed to be the animating values of our adversarial press — informing the public, getting answers, holding the powerful to account — have all been subordinated to the protection racket that is coverage of Joe Biden.
Even the lowest common denominator of news — simply being interesting — has been tossed aside. Boring and uneventful is the new newsworthy. This presumably isn’t how they teach it in journalism school, but no one has had trouble adjusting.
The tendency reached a new level in the media’s handling of New York Post reports on e-mails obtained from a laptop that Hunter Biden reportedly left off at a Delaware repair shop.
Here was a story with enough mysteries and plotlines to keep a couple of newsrooms busy. Are the e-mails, putting Hunter Biden’s sleazy overseas business dealings in a more sinister light, legitimate? Did Hunter really take the laptop to the shop and forget about it? And, more important, what do the e-mails say about what Joe Biden knows or should have known about Hunter’s work that depended so heavily on proximity to the vice president?
Instead, the press has been uninterested at best and hostile at worst. It’s the opposite of a feeding frenzy. The media have deployed their bomb-disposal unit for fear that a potentially explosive story might detonate.
What Biden has to say about the e-mails is inherently of interest.

fake trump scandal created by democrats obama and hillary give media 24/7/365 negative Trump coverage
this real scandal of biden is covered up by the same mediass
Ever since Watergate, journalists have dreamed of another chance to take down a president. You know, you win Pulitzer Prizes for that sort of thing.
Of course, for 4 years they’ve all been trying to take down Trump, but that hasn’t worked out for any of them. Now, they have Biden right in front of them. Big News. Bigger than Watergate. This guy is crashing and burning in front of everyone. And all of the crusading journalists are pretending that nothing is happening. They don’t want to cover Joe. Weird, huh?

What got into Rich Lowry? He must have run out of negative things to write about Trumo.
This is blowing up in the media’s face. The more they hide it the more questions people have.
I thought NY Post=good and NY Times=bad. What am I missing?
Rich Lowry is a neo-con. He writes for multiple publications. He finally wrote a decent piece article here.
That's Hunter's daughter, Finnegan, behind the vote mask.
I wonder if grandpa smells her hair.
Sure is.
Biden and his granddaughter Finnegan ordered milkshakes in a North Carolina burger joint.
As Biden walked away with his frosty treats, a hard-hitting journalist dogging Biden shouted, "Mr. Biden! Mr. Biden! What flavor did you get?"
Hill media reporter Joe Concha commented on the investigative journalist's in-depth question. "No presidential candidate has been less scrutinized than Biden.....yet the media has been screaming about transparency for Trump the past four years. The media should hold all of the powerful players accountable."
===========================================
NOTE: Finnegan is druggie Hunter's daughter. She sucked-off the backs of taxpayers 24/7 on a family jaunt to Beijing where Hunter famously got license to do personal billion dollar business with China.....all arranged by his VP dad in his tax-paid VP's office w/ tax-paid staff doing the legwork for Hunter.
Joe waves to the official Chinese delegation there to greet him for talks on US policy.
The moron Finnegan waves to the Chinese delegation....like she's some sort of diplomat.
Toobin — what a jerk off.
Give the poor old msm a break patriots, they did ax pedo Joe, what flavor milk shake he was having.
Admit it, that took a lotta guts on the media’s part.
Is that the grand daughter that Joe swaps spit with?
Fixed.
1xt Presidential candidate to not hold a single open forum press conference.
