Why Media Isn’t Covering Hunter Biden?

Glenn Greenwald explains why he thinks most
American media will not cover the Hunter Biden
scandal.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been disgusted with my
colleagues in my profession as I have been in
the last three weeks because of this story,”...
“In general, journalists do not care about where
material comes from if it’s A, authentic, and B,
newsworthy.”

“Sometimes you get great documents from sources
who have terrible motives,” He continued. “Like
Deep Throat leaked about the Nixon
administration to The Washington Post, not
because he was a Snowden, not because he was
noble, but because he was resentful that Nixon
passed him over to be the director of the FBI.”
He claimed the argument that the revelations
from Hunter Biden’s laptop “might have come from
Russia” was a “complete corruption of the
journalistic function.” Greenwald added the real
reason most news outlets won’t cover the story
is because “they’re all desperate for Trump to
lose.”
‘That’s the reality. They all want Biden to
win,” he told Rogan. “They don’t want to be
scorned in their social circles. And so they’re
willing to abdicate their journalistic function,
which is reporting on one of the most powerful
people in the world, and Joe Biden in part
because they want to manipulate and tinker with
the election using journalism, but a much bigger
part because they’re scared of being yelled at
on Twitter.
“It’s f*cking pathetic,” he concluded. “And it’s
going to ruin people’s faith in journalism for a
long time, even more so than it already is
ruined for good reason.”
