For some in the media, no allegation that might link President Joe Biden to unethical or even criminal behavior seems to be considered credible or worth investigating.
During the 2020 election, with seemingly little or no investigation, a report about the content found on Hunter Biden's laptop was categorically labeled "Russian disinformation" by much of the mainstream media, with a large assist from more than 50 former U.S. intelligence officials, the Biden White House, and President Biden himself, who vigorously answered "Yes, yes, yes," when asked if he believed the laptop contained Russian disinformation.
Many liberal-leaning news organizations were forced to grudgingly acknowledge that the Hunter Biden laptop story was not Russian disinformation, and might have tentacles leading beyond Hunter Biden.
Now, we have another story involving Hunter Biden - that he allegedly received $260,000 from Chinese business interests during his father's presidential campaign, with Joe Biden's address on the wire transfer.
As reported by several media outlets, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer revealed that Hunter Biden received two wire transfers from Chinese nationals, worth a combined $260,000, just months after his father began his 2020 presidential campaign - and with the elder Biden's Delaware home listed as the beneficiary address.
Comer further noted: "When Joe Biden was vice president, he spoke on the phone and had coffee with Jonathan Li in Beijing, and later wrote a college letter of recommendation for his children."
By seemingly turning a deaf ear and a blind eye to allegations of potential wrongdoing involving some members of the Biden family, could some members of the media be seen as figurative accessories-after-the-fact? Findlaw defines an accessory as: "The accused assisted that person with the specific purpose or design to hinder or prevent that person's apprehension, trial, or punishment."
