The Times tries to preemptively defend Joe Biden with Hunter opus

New York Post Header

Spin jobs donโ€™t get much more nausea inducing than โ€œHunter Bidenโ€™s Tangled Tale Comes Front and Center,โ€ The New York Timesโ€™ exhausting chronicle of Hunterโ€™s influence peddling.

The Times is writing this now only because Republicans took the House, and Joe Biden needs a pre-emptive defense. Investigations loom and must be discredited, and possible charges against Hunter Biden from the US attorney for Delaware need soft pedaling (heโ€™s โ€œclosing in on a decision,โ€ the story claims, something that has been promised for two years). 

The upshot: Yes, drug addict Hunter profited off his fatherโ€™s name and made deals in places the vice president had influence, like China and Ukraine. But Joe knew nothing about it! Trust us, we asked him. And if you canโ€™t trust a Biden . . .

โ€œThe real Hunter Biden story is complex and very different in important ways from the narrative promoted by Republicans โ€” but troubling in its own way,โ€ The Times writes in the most Timesian sentence weโ€™ve read so far this year.

Actually, itโ€™s not that complicated. In fact, The Times lays it out in the next paragraph: โ€œHunter . . . forged business relationships that brought him millions of dollars, raised questions about whether he was cashing in on his family name [and] set off alarms among government officials about potential conflicts of interest.โ€

Ah, โ€œraises questions.โ€ How circumspect.

What comes next will be familiar to anyone who read The Post in October 2020, when we published information from Hunter Bidenโ€™s abandoned laptop. For this story, The Times says it used a โ€œselectionโ€ of the emails โ€œthat The Times has verified as authentic, out of the thousands attributed to him that were disseminated by allies of Mr. Trump ahead of the 2020 election to try to undercut the Biden campaign.โ€ The Postโ€™s stories were based on the exact same emails The Times uses, as they are the ones related to Hunterโ€™s business deals.
