Media Uses Failed Russia ‘Coup' To Knock Bombshell Biden Scandal Off The Front Page
2023-06-26
[Federalist] Last Thursday, House Republicans released two explosive testimonies from IRS whistleblowers that, if true, further suggest President Joe Biden sold his political power for profit from our enemies abroad via his son Hunter’s business dealings. Moreover, they allege the Department of Justice has done everything in its power to for years protect the Bidens, even to the point of massively interfering in an American election.

This story is huge — bigger than Monica Lewinsky and Watergate combined. If confirmed, it means that the sitting President of the United States is potentially compromised by our nation’s adversaries, and the intelligence apparatus are enabling his corruption. We have no choice but to tear it down.

Yet you wouldn’t know any of that from the headlines this weekend. Sunday’s premiere, front-page stories in each of America’s biggest newspapers — The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and The Washington Post — were all about the quick and unsuccessful "coup" in Russia. Mentions of the Biden scandal were scant. The New York Times’ only featured Biden scandal article, titled "The Real Lesson From the Hunter Biden Saga," reads like satire, dismissing all the mounting allegations against the president and even praising him as a "model of ... love and support" for people with drug-addicted family members.

It’s pretty interesting that almost immediately after the publication of the IRS whistleblower testimonies, the White House and State Department began sounding alarm bells over a "coup" that was over almost as soon as it started. Naturally, the corporate media was grateful to be handed a distraction story on a silver platter. The short-lived mutiny has not only dominated the headlines this weekend but was also granted wall-to-wall coverage on every major TV news channel. CNN, in particular, has really taken advantage of the Russia "coup," using it as an opportunity to extol Biden for his "mastery of foreign policy."

None of this is to say that this alleged attempted coup against the Kremlin isn’t newsworthy. The story has its place in the "world news" section. However, a foreign uprising that may or may not impact a war America has no business participating in should not be commanding the front pages for days on end, especially when we have far bigger fish to fry.

#5  "Coup" or no "coup", the media would have easily found another "story" to divert attention from the Biden criminal syndicate.

#4  Even the corrupt media we have today has to operate on FOMO. They are each watching their competitors closely to make sure they are not identified as the last to catch the wave.

When the wave breaks, the Bidet Cabal will be towed under...

#3  It is true that the NYT, WaPo, CNN haven't covered the corruption much. That just means it will be a bigger deal when they finally do cover it.

And you know that they're doing their utmost in journalistic due diligence to come up with ways to cover this story.

Like a pillow... until it stops moving.

#2  I think the latest polls show a majority in the USA think Biden guilty of corruption.

There are plenty more news releases yet to come.

Personally, I want Biden to be the leader of the Democratic Party as long as possible as the stink will accumulate.

It is true that the NYT, WaPo, CNN haven't covered the corruption much. That just means it will be a bigger deal when they finally do cover it.
