Legacy Media Still Covering for Biden
19th July 2025
Or were White House staffers behind the unprecedented string of autopen signings?
In recent weeks, evidence has been mounting that the former president may not have been in the loop, which is, to be charitable, problematic.
Luckily for us, the folks at NBC News jumped into action with a story headlined, “Lead investigator into Biden’s use of an autopen signed letters with a digital signature.”
In it, reporters Ryan Nobles and Melanie Zanona make an inane equivalence between lead investigator Rep. James Comer signing PDFs using a digital signature—a completely legal thing to do—and Biden allegedly allowing his staff to issue blanket presidential pardons for thousands of people without knowing the names or crimes of the recipients.
As anyone who works in an office can tell you, one of these instances is done for practical reasons. Unless you print, sign, and rescan every single letter you send, the only way to sign a PDF is to use a digital signature. The other signature was used to administer an awesome plenary constitutional power used by the president, and only the president.
It’s not just NBC News. Rather than investigating a possibly immense political scandal, many in the media pedantically focused on the “autopens.”
Straining at fleas and swallowing camels.
