It’s too easy to just say that the media is covering for the Bidens and bury the story on Hunter Biden’s laptop. They don’t want to see their precious president thrown out of office. What if it’s something far more sinister than implicating a sitting president of receiving dirty money?
Earlier this week, political commentator Dan Bongino blasted the media for covering up the laptop story. During his rant he brought up a valid point—The media isn’t just covering for Biden:
“Listen, the media doesn’t care about Hunter Biden. They care about protecting Democrats. Let’s get that straight, okay? They’d throw Hunter Biden overboard tomorrow if they thought it would save Joe Biden. The reason they need this laptop story to go away is because Ukraine has been a piggy bank for swamp rats on both sides of the political aisle for decades. If you were pro-Russia or pro-European in Ukraine, you could make a fortune and make American lobbyists and former politicians and swamp rats of fortune by lobbying Congress for either side, okay everybody knows that Hunter Biden and his job over there was symptomatic of a larger swamp problem.”
The Rasmussen poll, conducted Monday and Tuesday nights, shows that more than two-thirds of voters have been “closely” following news reports about Hunter. Almost half think the story is “very important” and another 18% say it is “somewhat important.”
But the most politically lethal poll question found that 48% of voters believe that Joe Biden likely would not have been elected president “if the media had fully reported the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop before the 2020 election.” That compares to 45% who still think it is likely he would have been elected.
Call me crazy if you want, but this thing lays out like it straight out of the Clinton playbook. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
