Democrats and much of the media (as always, pardon the redundancy) have settled on the talking point of "no evidence" of Biden corruption as a way to diminish the seriousness of the House Republicans' impeachment inquiry. Recently the New York Times shifted to "no hard evidence," meaning that unless a check surfaces that's made out to Joe Biden with "for bribes" written in the memo section, there's no evidence.
However, there is some actual journalisming going on in the media as shown by a new Axios report:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Axios @axios · Follow Just before the 2020 election, Biden and his campaign said that Hunter hadn't made money from China and that Biden hadn't met one of Hunter's Ukrainian business associates during his vice presidency.
But recent sworn testimony suggests otherwise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey, it's a start.
Next time maybe Axios could just go for full accuracy and use the "L" word:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gabriel @HammerxStone · Follow It is called a lie. You can say it. 5:34 AM · Sep 13, 2023
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The story has a "Republicans pounce" feel to it but that's better than nothing:
Why it matters: House Republican leaders now have zeroed in on those two denials by Joe Biden in 2020 to help justify an impeachment inquiry into the president.
--"Through our investigations, we have found that President Biden did lie to the American people about his own knowledge of his family's foreign business dealings," Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Tuesday as he announced the inquiry.
--McCarthy cited the contradictions between Joe Biden's denials and the sworn testimony Hunter Biden gave in court in July, and what Archer said in testimony to Congress in August.
Zoom in: Republicans are risking a political backlash if the inquiry doesn't discover anything concrete other than Biden made false or misleading statements while campaigning for president.
There's plenty of lefty triggering in the replies, such as "did a right-wing billionaire buy Axios" and "y'all are doing the work of the Republicans."
Actually, it's the work the rest of the media should also be doing, but instead, we get outlets like the Associated Press dutifully passing along the "without evidence" talking points.
Here are Associated Press "journalists" looking for any evidence of Biden corruption:
Axios is Stalin-Left. If the RATS lose Axios, they are in big trouble.
Press ignoring talking point saying there is no evidence that the sun rises in the east.
I think the organs of the left are facing up to the fact that they tell so many transperent lies that people dismiss everything they say as lies. Worse they just dismiss it all as part of a continuing 24/7 streaming of lies and don’t even engage the debate. When everything you say is cut off and dismissed as “you are a known liar, go away” it’s hard to get traction.
Nothing should be done in the coming months to discourage Biden from trying to be the Democratic nominee in 2024.
Let RFK Jr. have a crack at him.
The media is going to have to pick sides instead of merely picking on Trump.
The only way to rebut talking points is by facts. Is there a website where all the corruption evidence is available, easy-to-find, and sourced down to the original documents or testimony?
Hmm, what do dems always say?
The evidence doesn’t matter, it’s the SERIOUSNESS OF THE CHARGE.
Obamamama lied and said there was no scandal in his administration, and the msm ran that false claim day and night, yet there are lists of several dozen scandals during his term that expose his lie.
We are seeing the same lie being foisted on the msm watching sheep who can’t think for themselves and need to be spoon fed. A little research proves that the left and the current resident in wh are lying!
“no hard evidence,” meaning that unless a check surfaces that’s made out to Joe Biden with “for bribes”
Democrats think people are as big of a idiot as they are no moron would write a check for a bribe it’s always a cash deal gold or bonds .......................................
All McCarthy has to introduce in his article of impeachment is Biden’s quote about the Attorney General in Ukraine. That’s it. And now you add in the money Biden is asking for to support Ukraine.
No witnesses, no fanfare. It’s a bribe plain and simple. It can be done by lunch.
Why would a political commentary/analysis site name themselves “twitchy”. Dictionary.com says that word means nervous or jumpy.
*The house began to pitch. The kitchen took a slitch. It landed on the Wicked Witch in the middle of a ditch, Which was not a healthy situation for the Wicked Witch. (* = repeated) ... Who began to twitch and was reduced to just a stitch of what was once the Wicked Witch.
