There's a double standard of coverage in the media between the Trump family and the Bidens, Vice President of the Trump Organization Donald Trump Jr. claimed Friday.
While interviewed on the "Brian Kilmeade Show" with host Brian Kilmeade, Trump took issue with those who say the Biden family is "off-limits," before describing how he feels he was unfairly treated.
"Look at what they tried to do to me for three years. I mean, these clowns tried to put me in jail for three years because I took an unsolicited phone call," he said. Trump was referring to phone calls to blocked numbers that took place both prior to and after the infamous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between campaign officials and Russians.

We no longer have a free and fair press.
Where is Hunter Biden???
The press was never expected to be “fair”.
It was expected to be diverse and partisan, and reasonable easy to enter.
What happened was the Media became entwined with a particular ideology, Progressivism, and enormous networks difficult to start and compete with.
So we got a partisan, ideologically unified mass media. That was the monster the founders did not anticipate.
Well I know where Don Jr. is.
But where’s Hunter?
Good points.
However the Internet and Social Media levels the playing field.
Which is why they are using old fashioned thug tactics to shut down our side.
I never expect the press to be unbiased. Quite the contrary. What disturbs me is how they present themselves to the misinformed that they ARE unbiased, and the misinformed believe them.
That right there. Even now they still claim they are unbiased or they claim the extreme nature of President Trump forces them to not be unbiased while he remains in office.
Don Jr. is right in that they Trump family should be treated fair and it is true that is is just not being treated fair.
It is so unfair.
Which is why they are using old fashioned thug tactics to shut down our side.
Yes. If we win, we get partisan, dispersed media.
If they win (going back to the status quo for the last 50 years), we get partisan, unified media which pretends to be objective. All opposition of substance will be marginalized and suppressed.
He should just change his name to “Hunter Trump”.
That should blow a few circuits.
Trump = Guilty until proven innocent
Anyone liberal (especially a dem candidate) = crazy conspiracy theories! (no matter how much evidence there is)
Of course there’s a double standard. The “media” has only contempt for truth and justice; it’s a propaganda machine for the Democrat Party, for which the end justifies the means.
Eric Trump wrote a really good op ed on this, looks like it has been buried, I can’t seem to find right now... all I could find was 3 or 4 articles that referenced it but did not link to it.
Here is another transcript of a show Hannity did on the same subject... https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/eric-trump-on-lefts-double-standard-on-civility
When pigs fly.
It all starts with the communist infiltration at the university system and they turned out all the teachers and all of the journalist for the last 30 years
Trump is being ordered by a liberal judge to turn over his personal & corporate tax records going back to 2007 (that *beeping* you are hearing is the semi backing up to load all that paper). It’s a giant fishing expedition. Meanwhile there’s all kinds of smoke surrounding the Biden’s — Hunter Biden in particular. And the Media in unison chant the mantra that “there’s no evidence” in an obvious effort for forestall any type of investigation (cause they fear it is all True). Fair? There is no fair with the Media.
