The pressure is building for NBC News Kristen Welker to address the ongoing scandal surrounding a laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden during Thursday nights final presidential debate as the mainstream media has essentially dismissed the story.
"This is a moment of truth for Kristen Welker and NBC News, in which they are caught between doing their job or protecting Joe Biden, Cornell Law School professor and media critic William A. Jacobson told Fox News.
The laptop, which was first reported by the New York Post, is reported to contain emails suggesting Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden had knowledge of, and was allegedly involved in, his sons foreign business dealings.
But the media has bent over backward to avoid the scandal, with Twitter and Facebook each coming under fire for censoring the Post bombshell and NPR even dismissed it as a waste of time.
The former vice president has snapped at the few reporters who dared to ask him about the scandal and CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS and MSNBC have all taken heat for their lack of coverage. But millions of voters will be tuned in Thursday as Welker moderates the final presidential debate in Nashville, giving her a chance to force the issue with Biden.
To avoid or downplay the Biden family influence-peddling scandal would both create additional claims of media bias and eliminate Welker as a serious journalist," Jacobson added.

She doesn’t understand. The tables have turned. She’s on trial.
That’s alright. As long as she brings up the laptop.
“So if the reported emails on this alleged laptop really do exist, how does that have any impact on climate change?”
She can ask him. All hell say is its a Trump smear and its been debunked and moderator will move on.
If he has security clearance yet he is in trouble.
Besides that. The statue of limitations is longer for racketeering.
But Trump still gets his 2 minutes and can follow up.
Forget it. She is the male version of Jim Acosta.
“Of course, some of them likely date to when he was VP and thats a different story.”
They all do date to 2016 and earlier AFAIK. Some, that we know of, to 2007.
All Trump has to say is; “Joe, do you know your miranda rights?” “If not, you better get to understand them fast!”
Thankfully, there are no little Welkers in the family. She passed on breeding.
give the old putz the chance to deny they are real...
i double dog dare you.
She wont say a peep about it and she will cut Trumps mic if he brings it up.
Using “NBC”, “Kristen Welker”and “truth”in the same sentence, is just bad journalism.
Their job IS to protect Joe Biden.
NBC is just one of many deep state propaganda outlets.
Journalism doesn’t exist.
“the moment of truth” LMFAO
Gee, Prof. Jacobson, surely you know by now that protecting Joe Biden (and all things Filthocrat) is her job!
Tonight should be interesting. Very interesting.
She will not bring it up.
There are millions of casual internet users, old dinosaur tv network watchers, people who still get stale stories from newspapers and clueless CNN viewers who know nothing about this.
NBC will not risk informing them. Of course when Trump does look out Streisand Effect!
You wasted a lot of money on popcorn if it was just to hear her ask him about it.
It won’t happen.
But if you just bought the popcorn for the debate, then a big that big should last ya :)
Me, I never had any popcorn left by the time a movie began :)
Id sure like to hit it
I’m taking bets.
So far I’m the only one who says she has to and will bring up the laptop.
Anyone else agree?
