In the week after the New York Post published its damaging report on Hunter Biden, the New York Times has run a grand total of five news stories on the topic.

The first report started this way: “The Biden campaign on Wednesday rejected a New York Post report about Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son Hunter that the nation’s leading social media companies deemed so dubious that they limited access to the article on their platforms.”

Two of the other stories focused on the social media angle. Another hinted that the scandal was part of a Russian disinformation campaign. The fifth was about how some reporters at the New York Post had “questioned the credibility” of the story.

8. Do the opposite of No. 7 1 through 7 if the scandal involves a Republican.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: If it weren’t for double standards, the mainstream media would have no standards at all.

There, fixed it.

"Democrat Privilege......they are above the law."

Until they start, after their trial and conviction for treason, experiencing that short drop and quick stop to the sounds of the cheering multitudes of Americans gathered to watch.

May the opportunities for the cheering multitudes to gather be in the tens of thousands.
