Is it any wonder that NBC went 260 days without saying the name “Hunter Biden?” The network is clearly in the tank for protecting Joe Biden from his troubled, sketchy son and the suspicious financial connections linking the two Bidens. But with NBC, it’s more than that. For years, NBC has been obsessive about the current President.
That was the 7th of November 2013. TodayNot for the first, Al Roker actually begged then Vice President Joe Biden to host the program. After yet another Biden gaffe, weatherman Al Roker implored, “Mr. We beseech Vice President to please return at the third hour. The Today’s Take, and co-host our show….right here, Vice President Biden, we want you here.”
Roker gushed over “our favorite” and “my man” Biden.
On July 30, 2013 Today’s Roker was again begging for the Democrat to co-host: “To have Joe Biden doing our The Today’s Take would be absolutely awesome….Oh, man, I would give good money for that.”
Roker shouted at Biden on Inauguration day 2013, until the VP ran over. An overjoyed Today host screamed, “Yes!”
So when you hear about NBC boycotting any Hunter Biden story for 260 days, don’t be surprised. They are invested in Joe Biden’s family. NBC is rife with corruption.
