Major broadcast network news shows only spent 11 percent of its Ukraine coverage referencing the controversy surrounding former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter's business dealings, right-leaning media watchdog Newsbusters reported on Tuesday.

According to the study, ABC, NBC, and CBS took seven hours and five minutes out of their morning and evening news shows to focus on the controversy surrounding President Trump and Ukraine. The study, conducted from Sept. 20 to Sept. 30, showed that only 46 minutes of that time was devoted to Hunter Biden and his father. That included 12 minutes from ABC, 16 minutes from CBS, and 18 minutes from NBC.

The study's Sept. 20 start date was around the time when news reports surfaced that the administration allegedly suppressed a whistleblower report on Trump asking the Ukrainian president to investigate former Vice President Biden. The former vice president has come under fire for pressuring the Eastern European nation to fire its top prosecutor, who had been investigating Burisma Holdings, where Hunter Biden sat on the board.

Yeah.
Hunter represents a system that the media profits from too.

The cable channels monopoly needs to be broken up. Soon.

Probably half of that was defending Biden by saying this had already been investigated and found to be false. That is the only thing I have heard when Biden is mentioned by the Democrat media.

If only someone had cut off Biden’s Dreadlocks on a Ukrainian playground, we would all be hearing about it.

Yeah. It sucks, but the main issue is Biden is finished and everyone, including him, knows it. That just leaves Lieawatha and MadBernie. Neither of which is a viable candidate.
The communist DNC hate group is gonna have to bring in someone else.
Doesn’t matter who they bring in, they’re gonna loose bigly....and they know it.

Biden—I heard his name once or twice, I don’t remember the context, but it wasn’t very nice... :-)

With only a few exceptions, the only mention of Biden was to say the accusations were “debunked” or “unsubstantiated”. A few wandered off the talking points and said “Sure he was selling influence, but Trump is worse!”

This sort of thing is why Trump MUST keep tweeting.
