It was his, that doesn't mean the origin story is correct. Also he's not an government employee so what is the newsworthiness of any of it?

Do you not see how this is editorializing? They refuse to cover story having to do with the son of the Democratic candidate. And they pretended the story was not real.

  1. The data/emails were most likely stolen and the media was trying not to make the same mistake as reporting DNC hacked emails, which was a Russian intelligence operation. 2. Hunter Biden is not a politician, unlike the Trump kids (who are all hopeless cocaine addicts but no one seems to care) he never worked in the White House. And there's 0 proof Biden was a part of any of Hunter's bullshit. So outside of muckraking and dirty politics, there was nothing newsworthy about it. That's why.

This is a complete assumption on their part if that happened. Instead of researching and taking time to assess the finding, they assume foul play. Why does it happen conveniently when the Democrat Joe Biden would suffer from investigating this clearly? Why would they assume it was stolen? Why would they assume it was Russian disinfo? Do you not see the clear profile of ideological politicing at play here? It's all conveniently explained away and meanwhile they get to keep playing politics and pretending to be bipartisan. > 2.

So being a cocaine addict is newsworthy when it's the Trump kids but not when its a Biden kid? >So outside of muckraking and dirty politics, there was nothing newsworthy about it. Strong disagree. This is exactly the thing that muckraking should uncover. Again, if this was about a Trump kid, everyone would want to know and investigate it. Including you and me.

His father flew him on Air Force 2 to China to make private equity deals. "Hold 10 for the big guy". You gotta be pretty naive to think that's above board.

Also, again, where is your proof?

"We have found no evidence to contradict that, and Trump hasn’t provided any. We also found no evidence that Joe Biden used his position as vice president to enrich his son." But considering Trump's son in law was doing this while in office: https://thehill.com/homenews/3927750-kushner-firm-received-hundreds-of-millions-from-uae-qatar/ https://thehill.com/homenews/3927750-kushner-firm-received-h... While working in the White House, the comparison is unequal at best. At worst, it is another example of an accusation being a confession.
