Not good CNN

No one can say CNN doesn’t keep up with the news. More than a year after the story broke that now-President Joe Biden’s son Hunter had been milking his connections for a lucrative $50,000 a month gig on the board of a Ukraine energy company, the outlet is catching on. After an election year in which Fox News and conservative online media outlets published story after story of the Biden clan’s influence-peddling worldwide, Jeff Zucker’s team at CNN is on the case. And if it seems a little late for the liberal news network to be waking up to the idea that someone might think there was something wrong with the president’s kin making a buck on the family name, it’s clearly just a coincidence that it happened after Joe Biden is safely inaugurated in the White House. In a Wednesday story that could not come as a surprise to any American with a pulse and a working pair of eyes, CNN reported that the president’s brother is a “non-attorney, senior advisor” to a Florida law firm that’s put the Biden name in its advertising. “President Joe Biden said at the start of his administration that family conflicts of interest would not be tolerated in his White House, but not two weeks into his presidency, his brother’s actions as a part of his employment at a law firm in Florida are raising questions about how he’ll implement that pledge,” CNN reported. Well, the news might be raising questions among CNN reporters and editors, but for Americans who’ve been paying attention, the questions have already been answered: For the Biden family, making bank off the Biden name is a way of life. In the months leading up to the presidential election, Americans who did not depend on the establishment media for their news were under no illusions that the man Democrats were running to replace former President Donald Trump in the White House was surrounded by grifters. The reports about the Bidens’ globe-trotting were never a major part of the establishment media’s coverage of Biden or the presidential campaign — that would have gotten in the way of the goal of getting Trump and his “Make America Great Again” agenda out of the White House.
