It’s Been 259 Days Since the Network Newscasts Said the Words ‘Hunter Biden’

It has now been 259 days — 37 weeks — since July 12, 2021. That’s when any of the corrupt network newscasts last uttered the words “Hunter Biden.” Scandal after scandal, nothing seems to shake the determination of the ABC, CBS, and NBC morning and evening news shows to keep the public from knowing about the President’s wayward son and his sketchy financial and foreign dealings. 

As the silence of this network continued, The New York Times belatedly — but still shockingly — confirmed on March 16, 2022 that Hunter Biden’s laptop is real and not an example of Russian disinformation.

Twelve days ago, Times highlighted e-mails it obtained “from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop that was left abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop.” In the nearly two weeks since that concession, the morning and evening newscasts on ABC, CBS and NBC have allowed ZERO coverage, totally censoring the revelation. 

But that shouldn’t be shocking because you have to go back to July 12, 2021 to even hear the name “Hunter Biden” spoken on a morning or evening newscast. That was obviously long before confirmation by The New York TimesYes, it was mentioned but not the last. 

The topic then was the dubious sales of prints by the newly minted “artist” Hunter Biden. Here it is NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt last summer highlighting the sketchy art sales: “Now to an NBC News investigation into the secret sale of art by President Biden’s son, Hunter. How much? Up to half a million dollars per painting.” He warned, “But ethics watchdogs are blasting the arrangement.” 

And that’s it. July 12, 2021. CBS’s last mention was on July 10, 2021. CBS This Morning. It was on April 30, 2021, for ABC. World News Tonight. And that was only a brief mention from reporter Pierre Thomas: “Giuliani’s lawyer telling ABC News, the feds are looking to see whether Giuliani was working as a foreign agent for clients in the Ukraine while he was pressuring that government tWe are going to investigate Joe Biden, Hunter Biden.” 

NBC, along with the other networks, failed to follow up in October after the loan to the Biden family’s small art gallery (they only have two employees) saw the value of its small business jump from $150,000 down to $580,000. In October, when prints of the younger Biden’s art sold for a combined $375,000, the networks were similarly silent. 

CBS’s 60 minutesThe reality of Hunter Biden’s laptop made them laugh on October 25, 2020. Journalist Norah O’Donnell dismissed, “In the closing days of the campaign, Joe Biden has been forced to address new and unverified claims that he was involved in his son Hunter’s foreign business dealings.” 

In un-aired footage released by the Trump White House, Lesley Stahl scolded the then-President for talking about “unverified information.” 

DONALD TRUMP : Yes, it is possible to verify. Excuse me. They found the laptop. Lesley, Lesley.

LESLEY STAHL: It can’t be verified.

TRUMP: What can’t be verified?

STAHL – The laptop.

These journalists who ignore the reality of the e-mails now are nothing more than Laptop Truthers and they should be treated as such: Media outlets who are so invested in a conspiracy theory, that they won’t accept the truth. 

(ABC entertainment shows mentioned Hunter on March 21, 2022 when Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about Donald Trump “making up stories about Hunter Biden.” He was also mentioned on the March 17, 2022 edition of The View. Not the newscasts in the morning and evening. 

In November 2020, the Media Research Center conducted a poll and found that only 45 percent of Biden voters knew the truth. According to then-MRC Research Director Rich Noyes: “Full awareness of the Hunter Biden scandal would have led 9.4% of Biden voters to abandon the Democratic candidate, flipping all six of the swing states he won to Trump, giving the President 311 electoral votes.”

Twelve days later, Times confirmed that Hunter Biden’s laptop is real, ABC, CBS and NBC are still silent. They must say Hunter Biden’s name and report on the controversy.
