Everyone knows that our “objective” news media treat any journalism on the subject of Hunter Biden as automatically “disinformation.” It still sounds like an impeachable offense. Except for when he made the rounds promoting his memoir on addiction, everything seemed to be forbidden. Publishers Weekly celebrated it as a “courageous self-assessment.”
Hunter’s business affairs have been under investigation at the Justice Department for years, but we were all in the dark for most of that time. Even now, the media treatment feels like the absolute opposite of the way CNN pounded away daily on the Robert Mueller probe – now supplanted by their daily obsession with the House committee on January 6.
But that tiny trickle of coverage is a deluge compared to Hunter’s tawdry personal life. They are completely allergic to reporting on that, despite their incessant celebration of those illicit-sex heroes Stormy Daniels and Michael Avenatti, or their hyperbolic promotion of Brett Kavanaugh’s accusers alleging teenage gang rape.
Fox News has been reporting new stories on old emails from the “laptop from Hell.” Jessica Chasmar and Cameron Cawthorne reported on an email he sent in 2018 to Hallie Biden, the widow of his brother Beau. The president talks about Beau all the time, but search the network transcripts for “Hallie Biden” and you’ll find virtually nothing.
Hunter Biden’s marriage to his wife Kathleen fell apart in 2017 after Hunter had an affair with his brother’s widow. The networks became too focused on Trump at the time and Joe Biden released a bizarre statement applauding this tabloid story. “We are all lucky that Hunter and Hallie found each other as they were putting their lives together again after such sadness.”
“We are all lucky?” Hunter’s wife and their three daughters were “lucky”? If you’re not covering it, there’s no need to question it.
In July 2018, Hunter was chewing out Hallie in capital letters in an email titled “YOU NEED TO GET TESTED FOR HIV HALLIE.” He demanded “You need to inform me of the result. TODAY …. Today I’m being tested. Hallie, I was sick and scared. [hang]Take me by the hand. Your love is too disturbing.
He said, “I love your” [Hallie] even when you’re cruel….GET TESTED AND TELL ME RESULTS Today.” Hallie was told in an email that she should seek out “serious and long-term professional assistance.”
Hunter kept her on his toes. One month later, in August 2018, Hunter’s child with stripper Lunden Roberts was born. You also won’t find the name of Lunden Roberts in any liberal network transcripts. Anderson Cooper won’t be interviewing her for 60 Minutes.
Ende 2018 saw Hunter and Hallie part ways. Hunter wrote to Hallie December 2018 in an email calling her “clueless”, middle-aged and over-botoxed. Hallie replied the following day: “Please cease sending nasty emails.” I’m not against you.”
She would be understood by everyone. Hunter, Hallie’s older sibling, was having an affair with Elizabeth Secundy. It makes soap operas that aren’t soap operas boring seem dull.
Hunter’s merry-go-round of dalliances could lead to a bad end in the tax probe. Clint Lancaster, a lawyer representing Lunden Roberts, told CNBC that Roberts gave federal prosecutors “a significant amount of Hunter’s financial records” after being subpoenaed last month. “I expect him to be indicted,” Lancaster said.
CNN would regret this. The Hunter memoir was published by CNN. They posted an article headlined “Hunter Biden’s Story is a Window into America’s Soul.” It is indeed a dark and difficult place.
