“Denial is not just a river in Africa.” Those sage words from SNL character Stuart Smalley seemed prophetic this week as ex-MSNBC boss Phil Griffin and ex-CNN boss Jeff Zucker were confronted about their burying of the Hunter Biden story. Their tortured and transparent rationalizations caused an immediate response from some of us who have written about the scandal since its inception. That included Griffin’s almost laughable claim that their approach before the election was justified because “he was never arrested.”
Zucker and Griffin were in full spin mode in explaining why they did not believe that it was simply not worthy pursuing an alleged multimillion dollar influence peddling scheme with foreign interests by the Biden family.
Zucker insisted:
Okay. No, I mean but I mean, that’s the problem…
We did. We did look into it. But first of all, you know, with regard to the son of the candidate, you know, he was the son of the candidate. He wasn’t the candidate. The question that you’ll come back with is, well, but what role did the candidate play in his business dealings? You know, frankly, with ten days or two weeks to go, it was looked at by very credible organizations, including The Wall Street Journal —Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal — and they found nothing at that time.”
The problem is that the laptop makes repeated references to access to the candidate and millions in obvious influence peddling with Russian, Chinese, and other foreign sources. It is laughable to suggest that CNN would not have pursued such a story involving Trump children.

p
Trump was ‘never arrested’ for anything and yet they persecuted him 24/7 every day
“he was never arrested”
Neither was President Trump.
The RATS at CNN have put together a shameful, propaganda piece about the “rich”, evil Murdochs building a conservative cable news channel. I guess they aren’t going to do one on the “rich”, evil Ted Turner putting CNN together for crazy commie liberals. HYPOCRITES!!!
“...a little bit pregnant”.
Then why all the stories on the death on the film set of Alec Baldwin? Alec Baldwin has not be arrested either……. Libs are such hypocrites!
If, in fact, the government is corrupt, then logically one cannot use the fact of the non-arrest of one of their family members as evidence that he isn’t corrupt.
It’s a pity, though, that we now live in a post-logic, post-reason, post-fact, post-truth world.
Yeah, sure. Except for the about 10 million other instances MSM and Big Data have essentially acted as the house propaganda organ of the Democrat Party.
And they wonder why they are disliked and nobody believes them.
It because they ARE unbelievable.
May they perish in infamy.
They’re liars.
At the time, AT&T was in control of CNN. Comcast is still in control of MSNBC.
Telecom desperately wanted Trump out of office.
