After ignoring the story during their morning news shows, all three evening newscasts (ABC's World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, & NBC Nightly News) continued their omission of the latest scandal surrounding Hunter Biden, as a new report out shows the Secret Service is currently spending more than $30,000 a month to rent the property next to Hunter's luxurious home in Malibu, California in order to protect him.
As NewsBusters's Curtis Houck pointed out this morning, ABCNews.com ran a 1,433-word story on the latest Hunter saga, yet their morning and evening newscasts still ignored their own reporter's story.
Instead, ABC's World News Tonight decided to run weather reports, fearmonger over climate change, and speculate over whether or not professional golfer Tiger Woods will be making a comeback or not. NBC Nightly News also ran a climate fear segment and a weather report, and CBS Evening News wasted airtime on March Madness and the Grammys.
In contrast, Fox News Channel's chief Washington correspondent Mike Emanuel covered the story throughout the day, with reports on America’s Newsroom, The Faulkner Focus, and Special Report.
On Special Report, Emanuel informed viewers who might not have been watching Fox during the day: "Fox News has confirmed Hunter Biden is paying about $20,000 per month to rent this Malibu California home and that Secret Service is spending more than $30,000 a month to rent the neighboring property to protect him."
After reaching out to the Secret Service for comment, the agency issued a statement which Emanuel also read on-air: "a Secret Service spokesman says due to the need to maintain operational security that agency does not comment on the means, methods, or resources used to conduct its protective operations."
If the first son's name was Hunter Trump instead of Hunter Biden, you can bet that all three networks would be setting their hair on fire with rage over this abuse of taxpayer dollars by Hunter. Of course, his last name is Biden so the leftist media is always happy to look the other way.
The continued blackout from the three leftist networks on Hunter Biden’s mounting scandals was made possible thanks to lucrative sponsorships from Liberty Mutual on ABC, Prevagen on CBS, and Fisher Investments on NBC. Their information is linked so you can contact them about the biased news they fund.
