Why Can’t the Networks Investigate James Biden?
23rd February 2024
Politico is a member in good standing of the “establishment media.” Its journalists rotate in and out, to and from other pro-Biden outlets. But when Politico has a reporter who delves into the Biden family influence-peddling business, you can expect that work to be ignored routinely.
Ben Schreckinger authored a book in the fall of 2021 titled The Bidens: Inside the First Family’s Fifty-Year Rise to Power. The publisher promised it would reveal “the secrets lurking in the deep recesses of Joe’s family tree to his son Hunter’s foreign deal-making spree—and the Trump gang’s ham-handed efforts to exploit it.”
Nobody in the pro-Biden media wanted a Biden tell-all, even from within its ranks. Schreckinger wasn’t all over TV selling his book the way every salacious anti-Trump author was rewarded. Brian Stelter even gave a dust-cover blurb for the book comparing the author to Bob Woodward, but didn’t book him on his CNN show Reliable Sources.
