Pressure builds for NBC's Kristen Welker to address Hunter Biden at debate: ‘This is a moment of truth'
Fox News ^ | 10/27/20 | Brian Flood

Posted on 10/22/2020 12:04:21 PM PDT by conservative98

The pressure is building for NBC News’ Kristen Welker to address the ongoing scandal surrounding a laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden during Thursday night’s 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 son’s 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.

#FoxNews - April 6, 2017 text message Hunter Biden is asked what the Chinese are interested in, and Hunter responds “Everything - the only thing I told them I would not do is defense related technology and and arms and anything that would give the Chinese a military advantage.”

She’s just a partisan Democrat. She won’t bring it up unless it’s to inject the Russian disinformation lie.

I worked for some bookmakers WAY back, like 30 years..so the statute is up :)

I wonder what they would do with this?

If you called Vegas oddsmakers they would probably be interested in taking it on.

It’s a very difficult bet to make.

Maybe a softball question on the issue that is worded in a way that makes Trump and Rudy sound like the bad guys?

“What do you think of Trump and Rudy going after your surviving son after all of the personal trauma you’ve been through. Accusations that so far are still speculative?” :)

I predict that not only will Welker fail to bring up the illegal Biden Crime Family pay-for-play scheme, the mute button commandos in the booth will mute President Trump’s mike when he does.

“Mr Vice President, the extreme right has continued to attack you regarding the debunked claims about your son’s laptop. How would you respond to these sorts of desperate attacks and conspiracy theories?”

NBC Is the absolute worst of the bunch.

Comcast must be so proud of their little Communist operation.

CYA. He knew perfectly well that these were all dual use technologies or materials.

She often does little stories on Lester Holt’s NBC Nightly News or whatever it is. Her slant is ALWAYS against POTUS. ALWAYS. No matter what she’s “reporting”.

If they mute Trump DURING HIS TWO MINUTES and IF HE REALIZES IT, I hope he throws up his hands, walks out, and immediately condemns the travesty to the press before leaving the location. Call them on it.

There is a section of the debate on the American family. Seems like that includes Delaware.

Where is Hunter? President Trump should suggest helping Biden by asking for an Amber Alert to be issued for his son.

If she doesn’t bring it up or the court packing, she’s as dishonest as Joe.

Trump cold opening statement:

"First of all, I would like to consecrate this evening by stating clearly, plainly, loudly: God Bless Amerca.

I am here tonight as your President to make you aware of the Biden Crime Family and the payoffs this man (gestures) and his family have received from China and Ukraine over the past 12 years, dating back to Joe Biden's tenure as Vice-President.

You may not know this, but this man (gestures) incorporated his son Hunter into a worldwide shakedown operation where Hunter was the bagman for the Ukraine gas giant Burisma and more incriminatingly, took hundreds of millions of dollars from CEFC China Energy Co. on behalf of his father Joe, the "Big Guy". How you doing so far, Big Guy? (gestures).

China fully expects Quid Pro Quo from Joe Biden and this. must. be. stopped. Tonight. And it will be stopped.

My presidency has been one of the most successful in history at reviving a dead economy, but now an instant threat to our glorious Republic exists from the Men Of Biden or as I like to call them, "THE MOB".

When I'm out leading at 3 rallies a day across our Great Country, my supporters need no prompting to say together, as one great nation, "Make America Safe Again"; and that's why I'm here tonight, to make American Safe Again from the M.O.B. -- the Men Of Biden."
