"Like firefighters who run into a fire, journalists run toward a story" - Katy Tur, MSNBC.

Unless, of course, that story would hurt the Democrats' chance of election victory. In that case, these firefighters would be saying "let it burn!"

There are two stories here. First, you have the newest Hunter Biden revelations, then you have the media malfeasance in previously covering up the Biden story.

First, the Hunter Biden story. Hunter Biden released this statement yesterday:

I learned yesterday for the first time that the U.S. Attorney's Office in Delaware advised my legal counsel, also yesterday, that they are investigating my tax affairs. I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors.

According to Hunter Biden's statement, he learned two days ago about an investigation into a tax issue. CNN dropped yesterday that Hunter Biden has been under investigation for both his taxes AND business dealings with China for at least two years.

Now that the election is over, the investigation is entering a new phase. Federal prosecutors in Delaware, working with the IRS Criminal Investigation agency and the FBI, are taking overt steps such as issuing subpoenas and seeking interviews, the person with knowledge said.

Activity in the investigation had gone covert in recent months due to Justice Department guidelines prohibiting overt actions that could affect an election, the person said.

Investigators have been examining multiple financial issues, including whether Hunter Biden and his associates violated tax and money laundering laws in business dealings in foreign countries, principally China, according to two people briefed on the probe.

Some of those transactions involved people who the FBI believe sparked counterintelligence concerns, a common issue when dealing with Chinese business, according to another source.

The investigation began as early as 2018, predating the arrival of William Barr as US attorney general, two people briefed on the investigation said. The existence of the probe will present an immediate test of Biden's promise to maintain the independence of the Justice Department.

Sinclair Broadcast Group reported in October that the FBI had opened a criminal investigation into Hunter Biden. CNN has learned new details about the scope of the probe, including that it is focused on China.

Would you look at that? The FBI has been investigating Hunter Biden since 2018, and much of the investigation has been about Hunter's ties with China, and CNN knew about the investigation in October. But, you know, they just weren't all that curious about the investigation back then.

What could have been going on in October that would make CNN want to ignore this very important story about Hunter Biden?

It's a real puzzler.

Not only did Legacy Media not cover the Hunter Biden story, but when the New York Post broke the story about Hunter Biden's laptop the media called the story "misinformation" or even "Russian disinformation." Twitter and Facebook both suppressed the story, including Twitter not allowing the link to be posted and SUSPENDING the New York Post's account.

Even Politico, who is covering the story now, claimed the story was "disinformation." Here's one of the greatest side-by-sides of all time.

Then, when Tony Bobulinski came out to confirm the New York Post story, he was either ignored or painted as part of this "disinformation" campaign. Despite the fact that it now appears that every part of his story was true. According to Arthur Schwartz, he was listening in on a call made by Ken Vogel of the New York Times with Bobulinski. When the story was confirmed the Times, allegedly, chose not to report it.

Taxpayer-funded NPR said that the NY Post story was "not really a story."

Looks like it's a story now.

Ben Shapiro took to Twitter this morning to absolutely ROAST the legacy media for their orchestrated efforts to COVER UP the Hunter Biden story in order to affect the election.

I mean... what more can be said. The story was known, it was confirmed, and it was hidden from the public.

Clay Travis of Outkick really sums up the hypocrisy of the media in this statement.

The legacy media is one-sided, they're the PR wing of the Democrat party, they lie to the public, and in many cases, it's clear they are the enemy of the people.
