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.

I can't believe she brings it up and if she does it will be a milktoast way of presenting it.
Fox is reporting that Bobulinski will be at the debate.
IF she does bring it up, she’ll try to tie it to POTUS’ ILLEGALLY released tax returns, or China Flu deaths or BOTH.
These hacks are SO predictable.
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?” :)
Omg. you’re a genius. This is the perfect take for them! Assuming hunter is still alive by showtime tonight.
Good, first row center I can only hope.
She knows Trump is going to raise it anyway so she will throw out a softball to Biden to address it generally without asking him the hard question is it Hunter’s laptop and are you “the big Guy”. She knows the answer will be it’s a smear and 50 Dem unintelligent intelligence personnel said it’s Russian disinformation
Absolutely brilliant of Trump bringing him as a guest to the debate.
And that Tony B. Is swinging some serious brass ballage going there.
Want to bet that Hunter is not at the debate :)
Oh dear Gd how I wish, how I wish.
I bet Trump speech writers are on here. Take note, people..
Want to bet that Hunter is not at the debate :)
Is there a facility to cut the Dem moderator off after 2 minutes debating Trump?
Setup...she’s going to pass the questions to the Biden team and he’ll have canned answers ready. Pretty sure Trump will be able to deal with that.
At a minimum, Joe would be guilty of violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, since he did not properly register as a lobbyist for China but accepted money from them to do just that.
I hope Trump will address Biden as “The Big Guy” throughout the debate.
“Yes, we just want to build a “stealth car” so that we can drive very fast on the highway and avoid police radar traps. Totally civilian use for these stealth materials we would like you to provide us, Mr. Biden.”

Mr. Vice President, what can you tell us about the controversy over your son, Hunter?
Its all a bunch of lies.
Oh, okay - moving on...
if Biden did these deals in 2017 as an ex-office holder, is that still illegal?

Perhaps the real question should be where did the money go?
Hunter Biden was the bag man, but perhaps Joe was the bag man for congress. How much of that money was distributed to members of congress?
At this time there is evidence the Chinese were paying a lot of money..the question then is for what and from whom?
Questions only a real (honest) investigation will answer.
Personally I don’t believe the UNI-party would be so anti-Trump if it was just policy disagreement, it has to be more, like real crimes (and perhaps treason, selling out our country)
What other crime would be worth attempting a coup d’etat for?
So if she does raise it and Biden responds by saying that it’s all fake news, there was no collusion, and Trump is trying to launch a phony witch hunt then what?
On a totally different topic, I just wonder how Ukraine is doing on the Globull Warming front? Well. it gets to a topic that can come about in the debate.
