Biden impeachment

Tuesday saw a possible monumental twist in the Hunter Biden saga as Biden said he would be willing to comply with a House Oversight Committee subpoena and testify publicly (even though the committee currently wants a private deposition) about his life of ruin, corruption, and allegations of malfeasance involving his father, the current President.  But like most Biden scandals, it received…

During the first six weeks of House Democrats’ 2019 impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump, the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts churned out a staggering 398 minutes of coverage, TWENTY TIMES more coverage than they’ve supplied to the Joe Biden impeachment inquiry this year.

The men of late night returned from the writers’ strike on Monday and other than CBS’s Stephen Colbert no longer censoring Donald Trump’s name, not much changed as the hosts were eager to get back to their Trump jokes.

It didn't escape notice that none of the networks offered live wall-to-wall coverage of the first hearing of the House impeachment inquiry. When they covered it later, they made a point of rallying for Biden. An impeachment inquiry into Trump was urgent and deserving news. A Biden inquiry is dismissed as garbage. 

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held the first hearing Thursday in the chamber’s impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden into the litany of disturbing facts showing a life of corruption and ruin inside his family led by his son Hunter and brother Jim. Naturally, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship Thursday night and Friday morning…

CNN senior political analyst John Avlon gave an unofficial donate to Biden 2024 on Friday’s CNN This Morning as he hailed his Thursday speech “about threats to democracy” and “bipartisanship” while Republicans launch their “farcical impeachment inquiry.”

During the Thursday edition of MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, the eponymous host battled with Virginia GOP Rep. Bob Good on the beginning of the House’s impeachment inquiry into President Biden with mutual accusations of spreading falsehoods. Immediately afterword, Mitchell welcomed New York Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman for a much softer interview.

Thursday morning marked the first official House committee hearing on the impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden. But on the network morning news shows, CBS Mornings refused to preview it while ABC’s Good Morning America lost its mind about the inquiry occurring “absent evidence,” of Biden wrongdoing with no “direct, concrete evidence” and “[n]o bank account, money…

After a day of fiesty questions from Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee to corrupt Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland, ABC's World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News melted down with rage due to Republicans daring to hold Garland accountable for protecting President Joe Biden's crackhead son Hunter Biden and throwing the book at Donald Trump. 

NBC’s chief Biden tool and apple polisher Mike Memoli hit send Sunday on a puketastic item with colleagues Carol Lee and Monica Alba that painted President Biden with nothing but sympathy from the get-go in “Biden allies worry son Hunter’s indictment could strain the president’s 2024 focus”.

ABC’s This Week co-moderator Jonathan Karl showed how blinded he is by his leftist partisanship Sunday when he began arguing with South Carolina Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace that there’s no evidence to support the Biden bribery scandal. This despite the mountain of evidence that’s already been uncovered by congressional investigations into Hunter Biden that have implicated…

New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart joined PBS NewsHour host Geoff Bennett on Friday for their regularly scheduled recap of the week’s top stories. The trio warned that because Republicans have “no evidence” or “holy cow” moment, they are “cheapening the whole impeachment process.”

On Tuesday, the AP tweeted "Since gaining the House majority, House Republicans have aggressively investigated Biden and his son, claiming without evidence that they engaged in an influence peddling scheme." Two days later, Speaker Kevin McCarthy ran AP reporter Farnoush Amiri through some of the evidence that she pretends in her stories doesn't exist. 

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's opening of a Biden impeachment inquiry was treated with maximum cynicism on the front page of The New York Times.  The labeling began right in the headline and lead sentence of Wednesday’s front-page story. This was all about "appeasing far-right lawmakers" who might remove McCarthy from his job. That's now how the paper covered the first Trump…
