For three years many of journalism’s most prestigious news outlets won acclaim for making and repeating claims President Trump and his team had colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election. No accusation, from secret meetings in Prague to tales of prostitutes peeing on beds, was deemed unfit to print. When they wanted to signal to readers that they were conveying claims instead of facts, their hedge words of choice – “unverified” or “not yet proved” were favorites – strongly suggested that confirmation was on the way.
Call it the Trump Standard.
Now those same news outfits are observing a new standard of proof, at least when it involves former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, who enjoyed a lucrative relationship with a Ukrainian gas company. This new norm demands that, absent definitive proof, assertions must be labeled as “without evidence” or said to be supported by “no evidence.”
Call it the Biden Standard.

The Communist media have always been comprised of Democrats..the Media IS the Democrat party..whenever a Democrat is accused of anything its always “They are alleged” or “Without any evidence” when a Republican is accused of anything the media will say “Guilty as charged”
I think the level of difference is even greater than is explained in the article. There is video evidence of Biden bragging about having a prosecutor fired in Ukraine or their foreign aid would be withheld. And on tape he said it happened.
There is no such equivalent video evidence of Trump coulluding with Russians.
Wrong, you are spreading a malicious conspiracy. I will report this post to JimRob.
There is Biden’s admission against Interest. Democrat corruption and abuse of power is ok for the right ends.
Trump’s attempts to expose all of it is an impeachable offense. If you’re going to report it to JimRob, include it.
At least its a lot stronger than all the Democrat accusations against Trump to date.
Just playing with you guys. The sarc tag is silent.
